"Once Upon a Time in the West" is from 1968. We know it's from 1968, but did we actually include it in 1968? There has been a few foreign movies we shuffled around to make room for other movies. |

I'm pretty sure we did, and it belongs in 1968. Released in December of 1968 in Italy, released in 1969 here in the States. Sometimes when a film is released at film festivals the year before I can see where there might be an issue, but in this case it's 1968.

Man, the Canadians have a weird alphabet.
The Chinese have over 20,000 characters in theirs; the Canadians have 1.

I actually have Z being recorded on TCM tomorrow morning. Probably won't be able to watch it until April though.

Cooper is right, "Once Upon a Time in the West" is from 1968. I think you guys are right on the money for this year! Midnight Cowboy Z Easy Rider Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid The Wild Bunch (the old man is exactly what I would've been in the wild west, that dude cracks me up every time) So it looks like this is what we're going with? |

The Godfather: No brainer
Deep Throat: Yeah, I'm going there. It legitimized porn, demystified blow jobs, and brought down a president.
Deliverance: Hillbillys are still trying to recover from this one.
The Poseidon Adventure: Airport sparked the 70s disaster movie craze but this one solidified the formula and was probably the more influential movie overall.
Pink Flamingos: Terrible movie, but a sort of cult icon.

1. The Godfather: Duh.
2. Deliverance: Iconic, and for good reason.
3. Aguirre, the Wrath of God: Influenced a number of films, including Apocalypse Now and "Important Movie" The New World. Also probably Herzog's most famous film.
4. Solaris: Seems a pretty major and influential sci-fi film.
5. The Poseidon Adventure: Seems to have had a pretty tangible impact on the disaster film.
Honourable Mentions:
The Last House on the Left: I hate this movie but it's controversial subject matter is worth considering.
Cries and Whispers: Bergman seems to have made a lot of highly acclaimed films that just don't seem to be able to break into the list.
Pink Flamingos: I can probably be talked into this one, but as of now my cursory research suggests my other five are better choices.
