I am also struck by the list’s most glaring, and curious, omission. There’s no Orson Welles

Why is it that the deeper someone gets into a field/hobby the less accepting they are of other people having different tastes? You're not beholden to anyone for your preferences. You're allowed to like or dislike anything for any reason, even something as silly as the way someone pronounces a word or maybe the director's face reminds you of your high school bully.




> glaring, and curious

both of these things can be true without being condescending. it is kind of interesting that welles didn't make the list given his status as a filmmaker, and i don't think the author is completely doubting the taste of one of the greats here lol


Also, The Third Man is in the list...


that’s directed by Carol Reed, not Orson.


I am aware of that... but OW is in it...
