Top 250 movies out of the united states


Hi from Istanbul - Turkey,
I chose the best 250 film for me is not the construction of the united states. This selection is a demanding job and was very difficult to prepare

Hello to Istanbul! (One of the most beautiful cities in the world) This is some list, and I see many of my favorites here. you know your cinema. You put "Bicycle Thieves at number 1. Does this mean that it is what you consider the best of all?
"IMdB; where 14 year olds can act like jaded 40 year old critics...'

That is an awesome list. Thanks for sharing it. I've seen about 90% of the films listed. I might change the order a bit, but you did a magnificent job ranking them. I will be following up on seeking out those I haven't seen before. Bravo!

reply

What a fucking joke!!! You are a Marxist bigot.

No Kubrick, Wells, Spielberg, Allen, Hitchcock, Ford, Coppola, etc. No Americans or British! All continental Europe and Japan.
