Lists of Bests: The 100 Best Films to Rent That You've Never Heard Of http://www.listsofbests.com/list/31454 This list comes from a book of the same name by David N. Meyer, published in 1997 by St. Martin's Press. Of course, we're all familiar with some of them. Nevertheless, it's a welcome list that strays away from some of the typical choices. There are 101 entries because Meyer lists both Wages of Fear and Sorcerer as one entry.
