Er, is my book an erroneous edition?

Mistakes or no mistakes, it's quite an uneven list with a handful of titles I haven't yet checked but I can't put my finger on it just yet....I kind of trust his 1000 picks a whole lot more, even if this one has several impressive titles.

Great list, except it's not entirely Rosenbaum's. Switch out Trip to the Moon for Tunneling the English Channel by Melies, get rid of Corpus Callosum and add Paul Fejos' 1928 silent Lonesome and then you've got the list Rosenbaum actually compiled. Not that the erroneous additions aren't great films (well, Trip to the Moon is) or worthy of whatever canon - they just aren't to be numbered among the ranks of this one, apparently....

I'm not sure if your book is or isn't. Check the following link against what your book has http://www.alsolikelife.com/FilmDiary/rosenbaum100.html Somehow, in that link, the listmaker manages to find room for The Wind Will Carry Us, even though with just the substitutions I previously pointed out you still get 100. Weird.

I figured it out! You've mistakenly included Lubitsch's Trouble in Paradise (though Heaven Can Wait does indeed belong), to the exclusion of Kiarostami's The Wind Will Carry Us. All the other substitutions I've already pointed out, nonetheless, continue to apply.

I just think it's a little difficult to consider him one of the worlds best film critics while he thought The Mirror was "opaque". I mean - doesn't that imply a lack of understanding for the film medium in general???

if any of you could extend this list to 105 and include films only from the last 6 years what would they be?

only from the last six years (2005-2011)...OK then Syndromes and a Century; There Will Be Blood; 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days; Inland Empire; 35 Shots of Rum

Deep down we're all Jonathan Rosenbaum groupies. This is what every canonical list out there should look like. Not similar in taste in films but very eclectic. The Young Girls of Rochefort and Johnny Guitar <3.
