New Canon Update
0September 18, 2013 by gaughin
I have completed through directors whose last name starts with C. In case you missed the earlier post, the idea here is to generate a list of great movies with two emphases. Preference is given to more recent films, and preference is given to storied directors who have created a large body of work. And yes, I do realize that Transformers: Dark of the Moon is in the top 100 (so far) but except for that truly inexplicable thing, I like the way the list is shaping up.
