The entry for "The Meyerowitz Stories" should have a ")" after the word "selected"

Other than that....looks good!

I'm curious how Casque D'or and Le Trou compare.

I'm curious how Casque D'or and Le Trou compare.

You sure ask damn good questions.

"Casque d'or" takes critical acclaim. Or at least lasting critical acclaim, initial may be a tie. "Le trou" takes audience acclaim, or at least lasting audience acclaim, initial may be a tie. Industry acclaim seems to be about a tie as well.

"Le trou" takes lasting popularity. I don't find much about the initial popularity of either film but from the bits I found I assume "Le trou" takes initial popularity as well.

I don't think either film has that much influence.

I'll swap them.
