I might quibble about Broadway Danny Rose and Everything… although I have seen and enjoyed both many times so maybe I just don’t know what I’m talking about. I’ve been told that before

Glad to see the drama Husbands and Wives and, of course, the hilarious Zelig, and Love and Death. You gotta pick those two!

Small Time Crooks deserves another viewing too. And for brilliant silliness, Take The Money And Run is a masterpiece. Thanks for the list…

Interesting choices, Robert…

Maybe I should have picked Mighty Aphrodite also. I liked Vicky CB but maybe not enough for the top 11. And I have minor issues with your last three but they are still good. You picked Love and Death so you know a funny, clever, movie when you see one!

Anika – Nice to see Mighty Aphrodite got included in your list. Deconstructing Harry was good but darker and kind of bitter, don’t you think? And I see much love for Zelig. Yay!

Mike D – Glad you included Stardust Memories. Anything Else got mixed reviews at best, but I liked it too. Play It Again Sam was a clever idea and a good film too.

I see no one has listed What’s Up Tiger Lily

Good list, Mister Z. and I do appreciate the input.

I like Alice quite a bit and actually had it on my list at one point. Maybe it should be there. On the other hand, I think Crimes and Misdemeanors is a bit overrated, you know, good but not great. Purple Rose is good though I always dislike the ending. But I am SO glad to see Zelig on your list! It is funny and very clever.

Thanks again!
