I know it was long, but what that represents is roughly three years of trying to alone program around: college courses, lesser seen films, what I could obtain and titles requested. We'd meet on weekends and basically steal time away whenever possible.

That's what you get in college: no backing, no support and no help.

It's much harder to program films into schedules and programs than you'd think. I'd love to do it for festivals or a theater someday.

When the choice arises, it's sometimes tough but due to time pressures and discussion topics it can be more useful to introduce people to the lesser known works or gems versus the tried and true.

Antcu, I agree in the historical context (and still think it should be available in it's original version of course)..but respectfully disagree in favor of Pinocchio..for the same reasons as you. ;)

I wonder if it would be more productive to list the essential styles, techniques, genres, eras, and directors in film and then provide a list of films for each category that are considered the standouts in that category. That would allow people more freedom in choosing what they're interested in seeing.

I think most of those would not fall under "lesser seen films." I see where you tried to go against the typical choices in some places, though I will say not showing Raging Bull is heresy.

I'm on the executive board of the film society at my university. We too try to watch things that the classes don't show (but there are actually some well varied courses) but were lucky if we show a film a week. I would never be able to find the time to screen every Bond movie, for example (nor would I want to, despite my love for the franchise), and besides I'm not the only voice that decides what movies we watch.

I'm sort of tempted to make my own list of 104 movies now...

The Far Encounters of the Eighth King is my favorite.
