I love your list, and how it embraces the canon: there are so many great movies here. I do love 'Chinatown', and I wonder has it suffered some critical reassessment that I haven't caught up with. I still love it when I watch it: for me it's almost perfect.

My favorite part has nothing to do with the list itself, but the fact that you chose to end the timeline with the day I graduated high school - oh, sure, you called it the day before Star Wars was released, but I know what you meant.

Also, Kael was a better writer than she was a coherent critic.
