The Last Dance could be on here as well, if we talking 2020.

[Tim]

The top 8 is from your TV Shows list tbf with Scenes from a Marriage added, which, when I think about it, could be on it as well.

[Tim]

Btw sent your list to the ex ddders group chat and people complained about Dekalog being too low. You open to moving it up?

Riget?

[Tim]

Forgot about it. Where do you see it paolo?

[Fido]

It's true that Dekalog seems low considering it's at the top on Kieslowski's list.

[ManPerson]

Btw sent your list to the ex ddders group chat and people complained about Dekalog being too low. You open to moving it up?

Yeah sure.

[pauldrach]

Forgot about it. Where do you see it paolo?

Don't know. Kinda hard to compare with the others cause it seems to be more acclaimed from a movie than a TV perspective (if that makes sense). #8 maybe?

[Dubrow555]

"Jackass" being nowhere on the 2000's list seems like a bit of a snub/oversight.
