I may seemed arrogant, but I couldn't agree more with what you said about "commercial" doesn't necessarily mean it's less reputable. But here on MUBI isn't usual to see a list where the majority are "commercial" films. Mulholland Drive as most of Lynch's films, are, for me, a complete nonsense. Just pure surrealism with a poor script, poor message, poor everything except acting and direction. A agree with you Che is one film, that's why I decided to write about it. But apparently was just a mistake. And as I said earlier, you have here some great films.

Thanks for the comment, Eduardo, Out of the 50 films listed here, maybe about 10 or so could be aptly described as overtly "commercial", or films that enjoyed commercial success: the Spielberg films, the Tarantino, Nolan, "Lost in Translation", "There Will Be Blood", "Gangs of New York", "No Country For Old Men", "Miami Vice". That said, "commercial" doesn't necessarily mean it's less reputable. All of those films are made by incredible talent, and I don't think it's a bad thing that those filmmakers managed to appeal to the mainstream with their work. To me a great film is a great film regardless of whether it's commercial or obscure. These were simply my favorites. I also don't think I'm alone in praising "Mulholland Drive", but I understand it's not for everyone. And lastly, the listing of "The Argentine" represents both Parts for me. I will change it so it says "Che". I love both parts equally, and I consider "Che" one film.

You have some great films there, but, honestly, this is kind of a comercial films list, don't you think? PS: How in the world can someone consider Mulholland Drive a Film of the Decade? And how could you forget Che: Part Two?
