Fantastisk godt arbejde, Pjalte, og det siger jeg ikke bare, fordi du og jeg har sådan en redaktør-kasket på. Det er fantastisk godt og velgennemført arbejde, som jeg sætter stor pris på.
Der er mellem 5 og 10 film på listen, jeg ikke har set. Jeg vil derfor holde mine ord, og se de af filmene, som jeg ikke tidligere har set.

Fed liste, og godt arbejde Pjalte. Virkeligt fedt med posters, plot + trailers Har du mulighed for at smide en pointopdelt liste så vi kan se stemmerne på de enkelte film?

Super arbejde, Pjalte.
Har set dem alle. Ikke de store overraskelser. Dog kommer det bag på mig, at de to Godfather film ikke var placeret med omvendt fortegn. Jeg kunne selvfølgelig bare have nærstuderet listerne.
På bagkant skammer jeg mig over at have udeladt Almost Famous. Magisk trailer og film...er nok nødt til at sætte den på i aften nu.

Der er lige præcis to film jeg ikke har set, og den ene nægter jeg kategorisk at se, så jeg må vel hellere få kastet mig ud i ham Godard .. en opgave jeg har negligeret for længe.
