That preview frame doesn't really match the tone of the movie.

Greenaway always felt a kindred spirit, with his aspie obsessions with lists and moral judgements, and when introducing him its always Cook... or The Draughtsman's Contract.
Love Time of the Gypsies but Underground and Black Cat, White Cat were my Kusturica introductions. Jesus of Montreal is a really well-contructed modern retelling of gospel. Sex, Lies, and Videotape has held up, though James Spader hasn't. Heathers was a fave when it came out, but its impossible to talk/think about it without reference to Columbine and later school massacres. I have Why Has Bohdi-Dharma Left for the East, but prefer Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter ... and Spring as Korean Buddhist themed films go.

Sex, Lies, and Videotape from the main list and list of runners-up; Casualties of War over everything.

Yeah, but Sex, Lies and Videotape isn't in the main list, so what from that?
― zama roma ding dong (Eric H.), Saturday, 25 May 2019 01:28 (four years ago) link
Crimes and Misdemeanors. But I usually only vote if something on the main list is at least even with something that isn't, and in this case, that's not true.
― clemenza, Saturday, 25 May 2019 13:07 (four years ago) link
The main list is short but I think it covers a lot of bases.

I mention Frederick Wiseman too often, but '89 was also Near Death, my second favourite film of his.

of the 3 i've seen (do the right thing, the killer, when harry met sally): no award

Other than WHY HAS BOHDI-DHARMA LEFT FOR THE EAST?, I've not seen any of the non-US films which predominate in these lists, so I won't vote. But of the US films listed, I thought Drugstore Cowboy was excellent, while the others, like Right Thing, Harry Met Sally, or Dead Poets, were just mostly OK.

It's Do the Right Thing. Duh.

It's Elephant, but there's five classics on here.

never saw City of Sadness, I would probably really love it, as it is I'm voting for Do the Right Thing
― Dan S, Thursday, 20 June 2019 00:19 (four years ago) link
or would have if the poll hadn't already ended

The Cook, The Thief... is pretty amazing, I need to see more Greenway. Loved Belly Of An Architect too
― brimstead, Thursday, 20 June 2019 03:54 (four years ago) link
I loved that film, want to see it again
― Dan S, Thursday, 20 June 2019 04:11 (four years ago) link
The results of this one are imperialism.

Do the Right Thing and The Killer will be one and two, but A City of Sadness should be taught in film schools world wide, and with it's win of the Golden Lion that year, it's definitely one of the most important films of all time.
