Yeah, I saw this list too. Can't complain too much- 6 of my current top 10 are represented here, although not my #1 (THE NEW WORLD). The only one I've yet to see is all the way down at #18. Thank you VERY MUCH Claire Denis for not bringing it to the Wexner Center last fall. Although she was supposedly tinkering with it then, so I can't be too mad.
