V bad poll for more recent 'controversial' Euro auteurs too (never mind Bunuel or Pasolini). I did expect something by von Trier, if not by Haneke as well.

I didn't vote (I've seen only 35 of the movies of the top 100 - this list has given me a lot of movies to watch) but Pee-wee is possibly in my top ten
― Vinnie, Saturday, 6 November 2021 15:43 (two years ago) link
I guess no Fellini in the Top 200 is the biggest surprise in all of this to me. (He makes the Top 10 in both Sight & Sound and TSPDT).

Was sole voter for a handful of films loosely on the horror continuum: Fulci's The Beyond, Seconds, White of the Eye, Kaufman's Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Valhalla Rising, Communion. Would they all survive if I put a ballot together today? Maybe a couple. Was more surprised to be the only booster of Lola Montès and The Wind Will Carry Us, tho the directors of both have plenty of vote-splitting scope. Alain Tanner's Messidor too, love that film, really struggling to source other films of his
― ignore the blue line (or something), Saturday, 6 November 2021 19:25 (two years ago) link
I had Tanner's previous film, Jonah Who Will Be 25 In The Year 2000, on my long list. I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing the VHS from a bargain bin 15+ years ago. All of his movies are pretty hard to find.
― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Saturday, 6 November 2021 19:37 (two years ago) link
...and looking at Tanner's imdb, I see he did a kinda sorta Jonah sequel in 1999.
― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Saturday, 6 November 2021 19:42 (two years ago) link
I like Lola Montès and Alain Tanner too, saw many of his films ages ago at the old Walter Reade Theater. I guess now I can go to MUBI stream one I still haven’t seen, Charles, Dead or Alive, his first, but that’s about it as far as streaming, I think.Figure at least some of the underrepresentation is due to there being too many films and directors, too few votes.
― Exploding Plastic Bertrand (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 6 November 2021 19:56 (two years ago) link
Oh yeah, I forgot I saw Charles, Dead or Alive on Mubi, it was pretty good. Really want to find Jonah, The Salamander and In the White City

I was wondering what actor has the most appearances in the Top 100. I count four actors with four appearances each: James Stewart, Robert De Niro, Samuel L. Jackson, and Sterling Hayden. Wondering if there's anybody with more than that.
