Feeling all list-y today. Two things I learned while compiling this beast: 1994 and 1999 were both banner years for movies, and P.T. Anderson is the greatest film director of the last two decades. I didn’t pick any silent films, though Haxan, Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari almost made the cut; I like [...]
