Comments: I'm absolutely amazed by this site! As a true lover of movies of "the golden age" I have found lots and lots of interesting info. And you helped me win a dispute I had with a friend about an italian film. Thanks a lot - I´ll be back!

Comments: Great site!
Name: Colin - June 26, 2001
Comments: Super site! I think that you should add THE LADY EVE to your list of "great sexual and erotic" films. This may sound kind of old-fashioned, but those few scenes in which Fonda and Stanwyck are alone have more sexual tension than any other film I've seen!

Comments: This film site is by far the best ive seen , ive seen the internet movie database which i thought was an excellent site but this site is as equally as good , maybe even better . The review for schindlers list (one of my favourite films) you gave was excellent , it was full of detail and effort , i will certainly go on this site again!
Name: Colin - June 19, 2001
Comments: Your review of THE BIG SLEEP really cleared up that confusing, yet very great picture. My suggestion for the site is to try to review all of your top 200 films instead of other movies like BASIC INSTINC. Very very good webpage.
Name: Beth Simonsen - June 18, 2001
Comments: This is a really wonderful site. Your analysis of these films is remarkable. I think the average person wouldn't pick up half of the things that you see (especially in Hitchcock films). It's movies like these that make you want to really appreciate film. The films chronicled in your site are truly the greatest films ever made, aside from foreign films. I have never seen a film site so detailed as yours and I hope you continue to add to it.

Comments: I just wanted to take a minute and let you know how much I appreciate this site. This site is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive and informative website about cinema online. It is truly incredible. I've been racking my brain trying to come up with some suggestion for you, but to no avail. As far as I'm concerned, Filmsite.org is perfect. Thank you. PEACE JOSH

Comments: You seem to have had a lot of very opinionated people on this site.. "How can you miss out this, withouit it you are rubbish" - such people dont seem to understand the word 'opininion' and therefore should be ignored ;) came here for some last minute as media revision (exam tomorow) but i wish i had come here for assignments, would have been much more useful then!!

Name: Stuart Stocking - June 07, 2001
Location: Colchester, UK
Comments: Is this serious? Ok, i have to agree with some of the movies you have included but overall it reads as if you have simply listed a few Academy Award winners. To compose a list like this you need to at least include films such as GLORY, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM and MEMENTO. I doubt you have even seen any of these. GO OUT NOW AND SEE THEM! Yeah ET was a cute 80's icon but what is great about the film apart from the fact that it's been a nice little earner. Days or weeks after seeing your supposedly great "THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS" where you still thinking about what you had seen? Are you still running over scenes pondering their complexity and their underlying meaning? Have you made all your friends sit down and had them watch it and analyse it with you? Compared and argued scenes? NO, i doubt any of this. Go away, live a little and then watch a huge number of films and read up on then. Read what the Directors were trying to say when they said to have a scene acted, cut, edited and then done all over again trying to capture the perfect message. Great films.... hahahaha, do you really fail to see the irony?

Comments: Dear Tim, This is a great site. Your analysis of films is the best I have read. People who make films these days should read these and we will have much better movies. I especially enjoyed your analysis of Hitchcock movies. I haven't been fortunate to watch any of his movies. But after read the analysis here, I am eager to watch them. Let me ask you one question. Have you made any movie[s]?. Bye Vimal

Name: jdkuhn - May 14, 2001
Comments: The information concerning the replacement endding to the film Wuthering Heights was most enlightening. The closing shot it the one that everyone remembers, and here it was done "after the fact" so to speak. Thanks for that footnote. It is this sort of detail that makes me a devoted fan of this website.
Name: Rozanne Spavins - May 12, 2001
Comments: Hey there. Thanks for a really great site. It's not always to get hold of the older movies down south so I found your site fascinating. I loved the fact that MGM's classic musicals are all there. The musicals and anything with Katharine Hepburn and/or James Stewart in it is enough to float my boat! Cheers

Comments: I love your site. you are the only site on the web that has the script for THE SOUND OF MUSIC! all of the people that were in THE SOUND OF MUSIC play that I performed at my school were grateful of all the info you perduced! we all thank you so much! when ever i don't remember a movie title or I need a script I'll always go to your site!

Comments: A site that has nearly everything. Great Class. Top of the Bill. Being a moviebuff and a collector of movies, videos and DVD, I was impressed by the huge database in this site. I'm on the net since a short time, and am trying to put together a catalog of all the movie for screen and TV, and I can use every help I can get (free of charge), that I can put on the net in the future. I've valued all the info I could retrieve, so in the future people can read about what movie was made when, by whom, what year,....

Comments: I have to say, I was disappointed that Harold and Maude wasn't on the list, but this is a nice site, although I haven't delved into it yet. I'm planning on watching the 200 films but like most of my plans, will not come to fruition.

Location: Chicago, IL USA
Comments: Hello, lovely site. Check out mine, too, which is about fashion and costumes in classic films. I have a semi-thought provoking question actually. What does Tracy Lord (Katherine Hepburn) mean when she says "Put me in your pocket, Mike" to James Stewart in the Philadelphia Story. I mean, what is that expression? Just wondering.
Name: David Miller - April 10, 2001

Comments: I know that lists are silly, but I find they are the best way to bring inexperienced filmwatchers to a better appreciation of the artform. Your list links have helped me to convince friends in simple terms where they need to start to become experts. Thanks very much.
Name: Pete - April 08, 2001
Location: CT USA
Comments: Hi there, I'm a big movie lover and I really enjoyed your site. I think you should add some post '96 films too though (Almost Famous and Chasing Amy for example, these are two of the finest movies I have ever seen) and I'm sure many people would agree with me. Well, keep up the excellent work. PS to Kristin in SS who signed a while back, OK....I am a huge John Wayne fan as well, and you're right, The Searchers is probably his best - good choice!
Name: Sue - April 08, 2001
Location: Branxton, NSW AUSTRALIA
Comments: I was absolutely shocked to find that "Seven Year Itch" was missing from the list for the 1950's - surely a real masterpiece by IAL Diamond and Billy Wilder. Your list has, consequently, very little credibility.
Name: SE Santos - April 05, 2001
Comments: Where in your list of actors is Vincent D'onofrio, perhaps the greatest actor of the 1980s and 1990s in his age group? I just thought I'd mention him, as the webmaster of his site....
Name: Devin Melancon - April 03, 2001
Location: Scott, LA USA
Comments: I cannot begin to express how useful this site has been to my years of film research! I did have one comment, though--I noticed that the list of the AFI Top Legends was added. Why not come up with Filmsite's own list of the top 50 legends? There is already the Filmsite list of the greatest films, so I think a similar list of the stars themselves would be a very useful opinion for researchers like myself to use. Keep up the good work!
Name: Antoine Altena - April 03, 2001
Location: Amsterdam, Holland
Comments: I miss Johnny Depp in the list of actors. I think him to be an excellent maker of choosing parts. Fear and Loathing, What eating Gilbert Grape, Dead Man (Jim Jarmusch with awsome soundtrack by Neil Young to which u all would agree), Benny & Joone ( slapstick tribute), I also miss Benicio Del Toro, + Usual Suspects in best films. Also Seven Samurai = Akira Kurosawa....but that one may be attributable to the limitment to USA films only. Can u not construct another page with Foreign Language movies or something? Emir Kusturica, whith his perfect camera man Vilko Filac? Or Robbie Muller in Dead Man? What about the cinematography in A river runs through it? Or Brad Pitt as an actor? Or the casting by Luc Besson in the 5th elemant, where all the bad guys from Movie PLanet are assigned to save the planet from evil? I will leave it at that...but there is a lot more ofcourse where that came from. I have a master in Film & Television Sciences hence my interest. I hope that this e-mail ( i am aware of its chaotic structure ) will be thought of as being insightful, constructive and thought provoking. Have fun, Antoine.

Comments: Great Site! I'm a movie lover myself, and I enjoyed looking at the reviews, and everything.. This site is awesome, and I'm glad I found it on the web.. I'm a big John Wayne fan, and I love the movie 'The Searchers'...
Name: Paul - April 01, 2001
Comments: Great site. Am studying film right now. However, selection of top 200 films is, in my opinion, stuffed, being to geo-, ethno-, and racially-centric. Still, it's your site so you can do whatever you want. Differences of opinion can only be a good thing.

Comments: Dear mister Dirks, I have recently had the pleasure of reading the article you wrote about horror films. It stated that a science-fiction film was the same as a horror film but with a monster instead of a person doing the killing. I would like to inform you that you are very wrong in this assumtion. science-fiction is defined by one thing and one thing only; the presence of advanced technology. I egerly await a reply from you. Respectively, Sean

Comments: I am a high school Am. History teacher and have found your site to be a wonderful source of information and analysis for teaching Am. History through film. Thanks. The only thing I wish there were more of is more full length reviews, e.g. American Graffiti, Rebel Without a Cause, etc.

Comments: Hi all. I just want to share this with you Deeds researchers. My mom's brother (Uncle Sonny, better known as Albert Deeds) sent Mom an interesting letter this week which Mom sent me a copy of. He lives in New Milford, Connecticut and he also sent a newspaper article. They are going to remake the old movie "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town." It will be filmed right near where he lives. As long as I can remember (which is pretty darn long ago) Uncle Sonny told the story of his grandfather Albert Deeds (married to Sue Rader) taking my uncle in the woods every day to write and write. He says his grandfather wrote the movie script. He said his Aunt Susie (Albert and Sue Rader's daughter) had the original papers he wrote. She died and we don't know who has them. Remaking this movie (and yet in his home town) got him thinking about this again. Just thought I'd share that info. I wish i could find out more.

Comments: The "FILMSITE" is a very good site. Undoubtedly HOLLYWOOD is the biggest on the earth. We should convey the classic movies of Hollywood to younger generation. Welcome english speaking ladies/gentlemen, of the age group 35-55 interested to become E-FRIEND , who are interested in Hollywood movies/music of yesteryears. With Best wishes.

Comments: you forget so many movies - think about it.Where are movies of Lang (M; Metropolis), Carne (Kinder des Olymp), Gance (Napoleon), Bunuel (Ein andalusischer Hund), Rossellini (Rom - offene Stadt, Paisa), Eisenstein (Panzerkreuzer Potemkin) and so on. You take only American movies. No doubt, USA is the movie nation NO 1, but there are a lot of movies of other nations (especially Germany, France, Russia), which make very great and important movies.

Name: Sam Cane - March 16, 2001
Comments: A superb film site. Intelligent choices for the categorised lists range from such legends as Citizen Kane and The Third Man to contemporary masterpieces such as Schindler's List, Pulp Fiction and Fargo. A comprehensive, unmissable movie site! Well Done!
Name: John D. Kuhn - March 15, 2001
Comments: This filmsite has provided me with many, many hours of pleasure and delight! It is by far the best film site I have ever visited. I have learned more about film and films than I ever thought possible in a relatively short period of time. It has helped me immeasurably in my efforts to teach a high school film course for the first time. I recommend the site to everyone I can so that they can enjoy it as much as I have. Thank you for an amazingly good site.
Name: Rob McMillan - March 13, 2001
Location: Newcastle, UK
Comments: I would just like to say that this is one of, if not the greatest film site I have ever been on. Although admittedly there are a few things I would choose, mainly in the 100 greatest films. But it is an opinion and everybody's will differ. The site shows an obvious love for films, and inspires me to love them too. Thank you very much for giving us such an incredible site. Rob
Name: Raúl Esteban Cisneros González - March 11, 2001

Comments: I think the 200 films list is great. But still.. I think there are some films missing. It's hard to chose 'em but... where's "The Shining"? I think it really deserves to be in.

Comments: Wonderful site. It offers two possibilities. Either one would learn from it and make better sites or one could hang his or her head in shame.
Name: Pedro - March 03, 2001
Location: Brasília, DF BRAZIL
Comments: This site is really great, a must-visit to any cinema lover. Tim Dirks is a film expert, as his 100 greatest films list is very similar to the one made by the AFI. It would be a good idea to rank the films in the 200 greatest films.
Name: Thomas - February 28, 2001
Location: Berlin, GERMANY
Comments: My english is so bad. I repeat it in german: Ich liebe die Seiten! Alles ist so liebevoll nacherzählt. Ich kenne die Filme alle in deutscher Synchronisation, und nun habe ich die möglichkeit meine lieblingsfilme im Englischen nachzulesen. Ich hoffe dadurch mein Englich zu verbessern. Es ist so liebevoll gemacht. Danke! Thomas aus Berlin/Deutschland. What a great site. I saw the films in german and now I read my favorite film in original. I hope i learn english with that site :-)! Its so funny - I love it!
Name: Susan l - February 27, 2001
Comments: What a great site. Excellent summaries and selection of films. Rottentomatoes.com, which compiles reviews from all over the country (and includes foreign reviews as well) is a good site to include in the reference sources section.
Name: Chris - February 25, 2001
Comments: You've got a great site. Of course it helps being in general agreeement on the rankings. Nice to see someone including Roman Holiday in the top 100 films and that may be the best brief summary I've ever read of Cool Hand Luke.....and that's from someone who had always seen it as an allegory for christ in a modern world (just too much there for any other interpretation imo).
Name: Jon - February 25, 2001
Location: Kansas City, MO USA
Comments: This site is very informative. I have used this site to write reviews for my high school film course. If you watch a film when you are tired you can come hear to read the review without having to watch the whole film again. The introductory information is great and informative for films. It gives you a background on where the film was made, what is was based off of, and key cast members. This site is especially helpful for finding quotes from a movie you rented and returned. This site has enabled me to return movies on time. I can thus write reviews of films without even having the movie because I can find all the qoutes I need in the reviews.

Comments: Your site is an outstanding site, and the following comment is offered with the recognition that you can't do everything. I suggest you also include screenplay academy award nominations and winners in your academy award summary. Historically, some of the best films in any year are those which are nominated for best screenplay but NOT for best picture or director. For example in this year's field, those films would include Almost Famous, Wonder Boys, O Brother Where Art Thou, and You Can Count on Me. Go back to a random year, and you will see why including these nominees in your already copious lists will be an invaluable resource for those of us who use your site to spark good movie viewing ideas.

Comments: Great site! Lots of information. Seems very comprehensive! I learned a great deal about genres and so much more! Very helpful for my college course on Popular Culture. Thanks, I'm sure I'll be returning often, so don't go anywhere!

Comments: This site is really amazing. I have already found half of my research paper here... :) However, I would need further help. I'm writing on the HISTORY OF BRITISH COMEDY FILM, focusing on Monty Python. I would appreciate any help. Best regards for all visitors, Julia
Name: Colin - February 10, 2001
Comments: What an amazing site! I've been visiting here for the past year or so and I figured it was time to sign the guestbook. I am a young 15 years old and believe that those who would like many more modern films on your list are simply ignorant. I know many people in my school who have seen films such as Citizen Kane and don't like them. My conclusion is that they don't understand them which is a sad thing.

Comments: Hey, your site is cool. But do you like any Angelina Jolie movies? They are so good!! They rock every single one of them. Well if you do not know who she is she plays in: Girl,Interrupted (lisa rowe), Hackers, Gia(gia), true women, gone in 60 seconds(sway), pushing tin, Hell's kitchen, Foxfire, and many many others. If you wish to chat with me or need any futher info on angelina (nothing really personal) you can find me on msn messenger (Fire_demon_25) or on napster (Fire_demon_25). Well i loved your site! If you do see any of her movies try to add them to the greatest list because she has some great great movies! Thanks

Comments: Your many essays at filmsite.org are the best I've read (and I've read John Simon, Pauline Kael, Andrew Sarris, David Thomson, you name them, I've read them, all the way back to Cahiers du Cinema in the mid-60s. I developed one of the first film courses in a college or university in 1969).

Comments: I can't beleive you don't have the Usual Suspects on your list! I understand that most of the movies that you have picked are classics, but is it really necessary to exclude excelent films just because they are modern?

Comments: What an amazing site!!! Please please please pat yourself on the back-many times over. You SO deserve it! I've finally found (as many people use this expression) my one stop shopping place. Forget the Oxford Dictionary or any Encyclopedia-this is the only place for information-the best kind that is-MOVIES!
Name: A Visitor - February 01, 2001
Location: Los Angeles, CA USA
Comments: One must appreciate the effort which went into writing all those narrative descriptions. The writing style is, however, laborious and pretentious -- reminiscent of a high-school newspaper staffer who's trying to imitate a local TV reviewer who's trying to imitate a national magazine. Meaning well is not the same as being good, and enthusiasm is not the same as intelligence.
Name: Katie - January 25, 2001
Comments: This site is great ! There is no need to put modern movies into the list in my opinion. I am 18 years old and love classic films!

Comments: Whew! I just spent two days combing over your terrific site--very comprehensive, informative and engaging. I've even made my own top 100 hundred list. (uh-oh, too much time on my hands.) You'll forgive me though, I have to concur with your other reader that A Clockwork Orange ought to be in the top 100. Oh well, still a great site.

Comments: Fellini NOT in the greatest directors list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Name: Nick Smith - January 09, 2001
Comments: Yet again, another past worshipping, contemporary ignoring web-site that rates the likes of John Wayne but ignores the talents of much better modern actors. Only in the 50's and 60's could such a terrible actor ar J. Wayne be appreciated. Admittedly, a lot of modern films are terrible, but have you actually looked at the percentage of older films that are bad? Its MUCH higher, and those that are bad are awful, not just slightly dodgy. I can't wait until my generation takes over as the dominant percentage of the population, and we can look at older films without the misty eyed worship that you give them, and we see them for what they really are......

Comments: Finally a resource that really delves into the movies. Because of the cost of print, many movie books are just fluff pieces and most web sites aren't serious about the content. Great job. I know I'll use you a resource for my movie needs!

Comments: I have only perused your site a little bit. There are so many films that I like I find it difficult to pick one. Thank you for the site and I will read it more and maybe I will get an idea about a favorite film.

Well I am going to have to as I can not find any films or stars that I can use the name Tiara with. Best wishes Catherine

Comments: Great site. Very informative. I'll definitely be visiting again. One comment though ... only three movies are on your list that have been made in the last 20 years ... Blade runner, ET and Raging Bull, all of which are great movies. Does this mean that great movies aren't being made anymore? Of course not, but great movies have to stand the test of time. Ergo I pose the question; which movies made in the last 20 years would/should appear on "great movies of all time" lists in say ... 20 years from now. I'm casting my ballot for Slingblade, The Matrix and Fight Club. OK, maybe not great but damn good in so many different ways and I like 'em!

Comments: I have gone to your site quite a bit in the last several months, simply because it beats the heck out of every other review site I have been to. The idea of making a site with a lot of full-length, in-depth reviews on classic films was something I had wanted to do for a long time... BUT NOT NOW!! I can't top your site. I think you would do yourself a big favor by making a Top 50 (or at leat Top 25) foreign films list. After all, any top 100 list missing Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai or Fellini's 8 1/2 just isn't complete. But for an English-language only list, your picks are absolutely superb. There are were a few that I disagreed on, but after I read your insightful reviews, I usually changed my mind. Being able to fully appreciate a movie is a great thing. If you can, visit my site on Christmas Day or afterwards, and check out MY top 100 list, which includes a few silents and foreigns as well as the usual goodies.

Comments: This is the most informative film site on the Web, a must for all movie fanatics. I agree with almost all of your top 100 and top 200 greatest films choices. Well done!!! P.S: Why don't you add a poll to the site once in a while?

Comments: I have only one complaint about this web site, and that is that the 100 Greatest Films list lacks "A Clockwork Orange." Otherwise it's great.

Comments: I love the site! I have used it many times this semester for papers and such. One comment though. Please get more horror movie reviews. I am doing a final per for a horror fiml class and a blow-by-blow of Scream would have been great for my analysis. MORE HORROR REVIEWS!!! :)
