is it in some sort of order? good list though

As I always say, there is only ONE list of the 100 best films of all times and this one comes pretty close to it (you should have concentrated only in foreign language films; otherwiese there are too many British films that should be in the list). Well, one you read a list like this one, your mind begins immediately to think about the "absentees". I don't see Abel Gance's Napoleon, Shoot the Piano Player, Farewell my Concubine (one of the 10 best) and the Kiarostami trilogy (also one of the 10 best). Also, please remember that Buñuel best film is Viridiana, made in Spain (under Franco) and produced by a Mexican producer. You should move Potemkin to the No. 1 spot. Les Enfants du paradise is still fascinating. Mesmerizing. I think you also missed a few of the silent Soviet films (like the Mother or End of St. Petersburgh) and a few German films. "Cabiria" (made in Italy in 1912) should be in the list also.
