Incredible list, although I would have definitely included Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translaton." I think the list as a whole is pretty perfect, and I bet a lot of films didn't make the cut.
I'm really happy to see "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (my favorite film), "On the Waterfront", and "The Red Balloon."
No "Citizen Kane"... but whatever, I still loved this list.
Excellent Job, amazing blog... I really love what you are are doing here.
This is excellent -- can't wait to watch all these!
Josh,
I've put some thought into and decided to add "Lost in Translation" to the RI Oscar list. Much of the meaning in Coppola's film is found in the silences and what each audience member brings to it. That's pretty impressive filmmaking.
"Citizen Kane..." Yeah. Yeah it's number one. But for me it's just a bummer. Very DRY. A dry eye in every house. The filmmaking may be inspiring, but for me the hero just isn't. I'd be happy to read your rebuttal though.

I think you nailed it. So happy to see THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES on this list. Just hearing the score for this movie gets me going. I love all the performances, especially the always underrated Myrna Loy.
