I’ll gladly legally acquire any film that has been made available to legally acquire.
I’m not sure how you can justify owing a country billions of dollars for ideas that spawned there two thousand years ago. Intellectual property laws are mostly invoked by big corporations to illegalize competition, and probably shouldn’t even pass from parent to child, much less over millennia to people who just happen to be living in the same geographic area.
And even if Greece was forgiven all its debt, as long as the government is micromanaging labor so people don’t have to do much, well, labor, they’d just fall right back into debt again.

Don’t worry Greg, your little people are on my huge to-watch list by far, hehe ;)
“Artists are people with financial needs.”
I am an individual of intellectual needs too. Yet, not even my library has any such record of audiovisual material such as films to rent. See Peabody, my difference between people like you and people like me is utopia. Your belief is rationale, I have my focus on education and culture and NOT at the expense of people’s cash…

L’Age d’Or has gone!? And i’m also shocked to find Day in the Country, Battleship Potemkin, The Gold Rush, Children of Paradise, North by Northwest relatively low or struggling. I must be getting old but i think their classic status is well deserved.
+2 Jeanne Dielman
-1 Blast of Silence
-1 The Big Lebowski
Blast of Silence was alright, but it really doesn’t deserve to be in the top 20. I think my vote knocks it off. The Big Lebowski certainly doesn’t deserve to be in the top 20… it’s one of the Coens’ worst films, and I don’t even think that their best films should be in the top 20. I’d be very happy if Jeanne Dielman was, though.
Please vote down the Big Lebowski! It’s laughable that Big Lebowski’s on the list, but A Serious Man isn’t. A Serious Man is far and away the better film, IMO.

American Graffiti and The Big Lebowski are great but I think they’re both way too high on this list.
+2 Platform
-1 Beautiful Girls
-1 American Graffiti
Hardly any Coen is top 20 material in my book but I thoroughly enjoy Lebowski as well as Blood Simple, Fargo and Barton Fink, heh, I’m a sucker for early and middle period director works.
American Graffiti is also great but I feel other American directors like Preston Sturges deserve accolades here and CERTAINLY NOT a Georgie Lucas. Hell, particularly George Lucas and his minions!
