Listas e recomendações de grandes filmes:
To be useful to me, a list should contain titles I’m not familiar with, suggest directors I should be looking at, and inspire me to give some films another look. That’s what I mean by its function as “propaganda.” When any of us makes a list, aren’t we really telling other people what they should like?(…)
Any list of great films helps breaks the hammer-lock of box office performance that grips too many (…) moviegoers. A great movie acts like a window in our box of space and time, opening us to other times and other lands. The more windows we open, the better.
