look i wasn’t too far off
full disclosure, i used my privileged position to erase my nomination for Honeyland so i could get Three Colours Blue on the top 128, and to ensure it was 128 and not 127. would still highly recommend that alongside Midnight Family if you want to watch a documentary with all the storytelling finesse of a scripted film (my film mate curates a documentary festival every year and i have learned the immense power that comes from the position of editor, being the last set of hands on something before it’s released (see also Three Colours Blue on this list))

A Touch of Zen and Touch of Zen (1971) are the same movie I think

Damn, what a list! Look at that. I thought Alien was going to win.
Having an easy top 4 and top 9 rather than 5 and 10 seems very SB as well. Nice.

ever since i saw Under The Skin in a theater with someone else who didn’t seem to like it at all i figured that i was alone in liking that movie that much. so pretty surprised (but happy) to see it get 6 votes. also i like Stalker but it’s a boilerplate choice to me and i don’t like it as much as Mirror or Andrei Rublev. still def would prefer it at the top over a lot of other movies though.

I think it makes sense to organize it this way. If you just want to see all the titles you can just read the thread.
