Lists of Bests: Michael Wilmington's The 100 Best Films A Century's Worth Of The Greatest Movies Ever Made, Anywhere In The Universe http://www.listsofbests.com/list/25467 This list appeared in and is copyrighted by the Chicago Tribune on March 19, 1995. "The following are, in my opinion, the 100 best-and most culturally significant-fiction films ever made. The list is personal, but it also tries to be historically broad and representative. It is an attempt at the sort of all-time canon common in literature or music. These are the films that changed the face of the art, influenced other filmmakers and stayed in the hearts of the public." NOTE: This list appears here as 101 films because Wilmington originally listed both Heimat and Heimat 2 together as no. 71.
