In terms of popularity, Fando and Lis is clearly a notable step down from Santa Sangre, El Topo or the Holy Mountain Had, and I'd say the Dance of Reality is closer to the latter three instead of Fando and Lis. 2014 has been something of a return to prominence for Jodorowsky with the Dance of Reality and Jodorowsky's Dune, the reviews for the Dance of Reality are significantly better, and it did have a solid two-four week theatrical run in Chicago, so it hasn't only been seen by critics or the film festival crowd. As for From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, it was developed by Rodriguez and he directed four of the ten episodes, and it's been getting pretty good reviews. Technically, Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams does have a slightly higher percentage on the Tomatoemeter, if you look at the audience meter and IMDB, it doesn't fair too well with audiences.

Do you think Dinner for Five is eligible for Jon Favreau's list if it shared a credit with Chris Donovan?

I will answer this once I get to look into Favreau's list.

Nuri Bilge Ceylan – Winter Sleep

Looks like it may eventually beat "Climates" and "Three Monkeys" but for now I'd say #5 should be enough.

I think this is my third attempt to convince myself that ILD needs to be added but it looks like they still have eleven films that need to be on the list, no matter what.

OK, well if one has to go it should be one of the bottom three.

TG probably has the least amount of lasting acclaim but it's also the Coens' highest-grossing film and their best-rated film at RT so I'd say it needs to stay and should probably even be raised to #8.

Lasting acclaim: this is unfair to ILD but I'd say BS > ASM > ILD (last two are very, very close)
Initial acclaim: according to RT ILD = BS > ASM, either way they are all very close
Initial popularity: If we're going by total box office, it's ILD > ASM > BS but the first two are very close and BS was a surprise success. None of them was a huge success, none of them was a bomb.
Lasting popularity: according to IMDb ASM > BS > ILD but I don't know whether that's accurate
Influence: BS > ASM = ILD

According to TSPDT ILD was the most critically acclaimed movie of 2013, which is why I think it needs to be here and I'm going to add it at #9. "Blood Simple" moves to #10. "A Serious Man" vanishes in the mist.

If you disagree, please disagree loudly but in a civil manner.

Looks like MttS may eventually make it but for now no to both.

Too early and while it would be possible to extend the list to ten entries I'd say with only seven significant films it's too early for that, too.

Claire Denis – Bastards

I'd say #7 should be about right (below "Nénette et Boni", above "No Fear, No Die"). I'll kick off "I Can't Sleep" instead of "Vendredi soir" as while they're similar in acclaim "Vendredi soir" clearly is more popular.
