This is virtually identical to the previous C du C 100 list here. It appeared as if completely new in today’s Independent in the UK- with a lot of fuss over the lack of British films. The fool journalist was comparing it with the AFI 100 list, and its lack of French films- not realising the AFI’s was of American films.

Nice to see such a high ranking for Night of the Hunter, one of my absolute favorites as well.
