In lieu of posting any actual content, which would take serious thought and work, here's a top twenty films list I've compiled for myself that I think holds up pretty well:
A. I. : ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
APOCALYPSE NOW
2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
2046
BARRY LYNDON
THE BIG LEBOWSKI
BLOW OUT
F FOR FAKE
KISS ME DEADLY
THE LAST WAVE
ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST
POINT BLANK
THE RED SHOES
RAN
THERE WILL BE BLOOD
TOUCH OF EVIL
THE TRIAL
WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?
VERTIGO
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
Yeah, that seems to work out alright.
Seriously, though, I have been tinkering on a review of Nicolas Roeg's INSIGNIFICANCE which I may or may not eventually publish here (in short, the new Criterion release is splendid; the film isn't quite splendid, but it is interesting).

I can respect that list.
That's a fascinating list of films. And I was pleased to see a litte-known favorite of mine: Kiss Me Deadly. Imo, the best of all movie Hammers--Armand Assante--appeared in the worst Mike Hammer film. So the honors go to Ralph Meeker, hardly sloppy seconds.
