Hmm... — 1 year ago

The list source counts Dr. Mabuse the Gambler parts 1 and 2 as separate entries. Apparently the same goes for Olympia…?

Heimat II was missing from the list.

That makes 99 titles, I don’t know what the last one is.


King of the Road — 3 years ago

Is this supposed to be the Wenders film, KINGS of the Road?


Also — 3 years ago

the list had included the Terry Gilliam version of Munchhausen rather than the 1943 German version. Lists of Bests didn’t seem to have the German version, so I made one and put it in.

But why aren’t there 100 films here?

Some clean up — 4 years ago

You had the wrong Jakob the Liar and I also cleaned up several of the bland titles with those with pictures.
