I'll be without internet for a week from tomorrow and won't finish the huge Kubrick/Kurosawa page before that. So, don't wait for it. It will happen.

Every poster I found has the title stylized in all-caps, which means absolutely nothing. For title capitalization, I generally use the spelling rules of the title's language.

The "S" of Sangre should be capitalized for Jodorowsky.
Why's that? It's a Spanish-language title. Sangre is a common noun and those are not capitalized in Spanish. See, for instance, the Spanish Wikipedia: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_sangre_(pel%C3%ADcula)
Might be my bias against ...

I'm curious how Jumanji and Captain America compare. Also, I could see Ozymandias at 1 or 2 for Johnson's list.

Re:Johnston: Yes, I wasn't sure about these two. Influence I'd give to Jumanji for its starting a franchise basically out of nothing, while Captain America did spawn two sequels but it ...

Speaking of Jackson...curious about the justification for having Bad Taste above the 3rd Hobbit movie. Is BT considered an influential movie in any way? Wasn't really particularly successful or acclaimed. IDK if I'd even call it Jackson's "break out" - doesn't feel top ten worthy to me.

Yeah ...

Speaking of Peter Jackson documentaries, I was actually thinking Get Back could be somewhere on his list.
Guess I can see it beating his current #9-10 entries.
Gotta say I disagree. The popularity of the Hobbit franchise was so big that I don't see how the acclaim of his documentaries can be ...

Of course, but its niche acclaim surely isn't enough to beat hobbit-schlock's mainstream popularity.

Fine with OGWAU at 3. I saw Contra and FotB as pretty close in popularity and acclaim, I'm curious how you'd compare them.
Nevermind. They are very close. I may have thought given its higher certifications in the UK, Australia and Canada, plus its much better RYM user rating that Contra should be ...

I did swap.

Think this breakdown slightly favors Gentlemen Prefer Blondes even though Sergeant York is ranked higher on the 1940s list (#65) than Gentlemen Prefer Blondes on the 1950s list (#87).

How so? With acclaim going to SY, popularity about a draw and influence going to GPB, this seems to be a toss-up ...

I moved up "May December" three spots. Too many?

As for Hosoda, I'd say "Summer Wars" takes lasting popularity and lasting/audience acclaim. "Mirai" takes initial popularity and initial/critical acclaim. As I consider especially initial acclaim very close (SW was the first of his films to be ...
