Should be Sunset Boulevard, not Boulevar. Would you accept The Godfather 2?

So many I missed that I should have gotten, but there were several on here I'd never heard of. Very interesting list. Hitchcock is obviously popular across the pond. Quite interesting to me to see Koyaanisqatsi on the list. I thought I must be the only one who'd ever seen it outside of college students who were forced to sit through it in class. I own the first two films of the trilogy but sometimes I wonder why, and other times I think it's brilliant.

Wow, that is quite an idiosyncratic list. Very interesting perspective. BTW please accept the Godfather Part 2 or the Godfather Part Two. Tried every way I could think of to put that in and was surprised it wasn't on the list.
