Another 100 Classics

I’m hoping to get the first two or three entries in my 100 Classics project uploaded later this week – but in the meantime, blogger Dennis Grunes has been doing something very similar.

His list has a fair overlap with mine, though he hasn’t adopted the “maximum two films per director, must be available on English-friendly DVD” restrictions, and he focuses pretty much exclusively on critically-acclaimed arthouse titles (including documentaries, which I’ve generally avoided). Granted, all these films end up as arthouse titles in the West, but I’ve made a point of also including a handful that are genuine popular favourites at home.
