***"Great" and "enjoyable" don't mean the same thing but they're not mutually exclusive.
I'll drink to that, it's the difference between having a great teacher and having sex.

***OTOH, Pandora's Box is probably a "great film", and many critics love it too. Black Orpheus, Los Olvidados, Belle du jour, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Blow-up, and the Cocteau films all regularly make critics' lists...uh oh. You may be a closet snob.
LOL! That was my feelings exactly!

***Sheltering Sky - interesting failure. The Passenger Anotonioni's best??? Don't think so.
And here I agree with him... which one would you rate higher?

***The Conformist - don't remember well.
Love that one. Marvelous.
***French Lieutenant's Woman - Meryl does good accent, mediocre film. Peixote - never seen it.
Ditto on both counts.
***Really, the only trash on your list is arguably The Hidden, and it's a fun piece of genre filmmaking. I think you need to ryy harder. Your list isn't that provacative. And anti-snobbery is snobbery of a sort.
Agreed.

***So many movies, so little time.
To this one I would add: so many so hard to find!
