Hello Doctor! I will always be thankful to you for reviewing Mayabazar which has considerably changed content-wise after its GAR. Now, i have nominated Pathala Bhairavi to GA-status, the film whose success was the reason we all are watching Mayabazar today. Jaguar has just copy-edited the article and i request you to conduct a GAR on Pathala Bhairavi. :D Pavanjandhyala ( talk) 16:37, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

We can try. The only down side is that this wasn't the type of place that generated publicity (celebrity photos at the restaurant, etc.) material. Where Billingsley had a house photographer, went out of his way to get the press in the door and printed postcards and the like, I have yet to find a photo of the restaurant's interior--original decor or re-done--that isn't on the couple's website. You can find photos from Toots Shor's and El Morocco because they wanted publicity the same as Sherm did for the Stork. Maybe they would release some photos via OTRS if they were contacted, since the restaurant has been gone foe a while now. BTW-I have more Stork Club photos to upload when I get a minute (and I've had to resort to archiving some of my backlog). Life magazine forgot to renew the copyrights on all of its 1944 issues and some of its 1945 ones-the issue with the article & photos of the Stork Club is one in the 1944 lot.

Saw your ping. I've been thinking about it and doing some research, as well as talking to a few people. The Guardian contains a potted history anyway and the gist seems to be that simply renaming and moving a newspaper doesn't justify a separate article: its outlook etc remained the same, it remained under the Scott Trust etc. So, I'm a bit torn here: it might be better to try expanding the history in the existing article and then wait for someone to say "hey, this is getting a bit big - fork it". - Sitush ( talk) 10:25, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

As you already know, I've been working on the Thanhouser films - though it seems that someone thinks they don't meet N. To make them FA - films would need appropriate context and that is somewhat difficult to do with more than century having past. I've gotten new sources and new materials, but with each work found and discovered it becomes clear that Thanhouser is very unique and very special. At peak produced 25% of the Independent films, those outside the Edison Trust - Universal later forming and rising to exceed. However quantity was not a problem because Thanhouser films helped define and found the techniques of the industry, even bring political and social issues to light. Narrative structure and the quality of the productions far exceeded the other studios - namely The Star of Bethlehem (film). Ugh - I don't want to feel like USROADs, but considering the information and details which exist it seems going about it from specific to broad is not someone's cup of tea. ChrisGualtieri ( talk) 06:08, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
A lot of them won't be potential FA material of course because the info may be very sketchy so not read like an FA, but I reckon there's a few of them with more content and quality of info which could be brought up to FA. There's absolutely no question about notability though, Thanhouser and Edison Studios were the studios at least in my mind for that late 1900s - early 1910s period, and I think you've done very well to find what you have on all of them. Whoever thinks they're not notable is clueless about the history of film. Which ones do you consider your best articles to date? One of my favourites is A Dog's Love which I also started, that's a real gem, I'm not sure there would be enough to get it to FA level though! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:29, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

@ Ser Amantio di Nicolao: You're probably right on Dordogne. You know what, I'd be more comfortable with the formal "Monument historique" in xxx. What about you?

Thanks for that.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:49, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
Sorry, I've just rather brutally reverted or partially reverted some of your edits. You added the Category:Châteaux in Haut-Rhin to some articles about castles. In English (and this is, of course, English Wikipedia) "château" is used to refer to French examples of what in English would be called palaces or mansions or stately homes. The French are less fussy, having a smaller vocabulary. They use "château" in that sense, but also for castles, vineyards and even water towers ("château d'eau"). It causes a lot of confusion, even for the French. (Direction signs can be quite interesting! You can never be sure what you will find if you follow a sign to "Château de XXXX". An English friend of mine was bemused to find himself staring at a water tower when he expected s medieval defensive structure!) In English, "castle" is for the military building. This has caused considerable confusion here before,, hence the page List of castles in France and the categories for castles in each French region, e.g. Category:Castles in Alsace.
There are, of course, some structures that are both castle (as originally built) and château (after later modification): Château d'Amboise is a classic example. Emeraude ( talk) 06:31, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
Emeraude You're preaching to an experienced editor with chateaux who knows fully well this, I've known this since about 2007. Why do you think I created all of the chateaux categories separate from "castles". I don't see where I've called something a castle. All I did was stub sort, and copied the existing Template:France-castle-stub which includes both castles and chateaux in one for convenience in stub sorting. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:09, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
Ah I see what happened, I categorized some of the castles with titles Chateau de with Chateaux without looking at the articles and realizing they were castles. Sorry about that. I still think then you should create Category:Castles in Haut-Rhin rather than clog up the main department category.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:12, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
You may be right, but it took some time to create categories for castles in regions! (These categories had been deleted some years ago in a rather silly discussion.) The reason for using the département category is really just to make a categorical link with the département. If an article fits into some sub-category (e.g. Structures in Haut-Rhin) it's not necessary. The good work you are doing on categories ought to mean that this happens. Emeraude ( talk) 07:43, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
It's part of the stub sorting proposal in Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. We ought to have struct-stub templates by department and at least 60 articles on chateaux, castles, churches, museums and theatres etc for each. Any help creating them and ordering them would be most welcome it'll take a long time to go through them myself!♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:01, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

I was hoping to finish with the Argentine actresses this weekend, but I'm not going to be able to. Merello's sourcing is bizarre to say the least. (Almost worse than having no sourcing whatsoever) For example, this source on the Spanish Wiki page "Cavallaro, Diana (2006). La Nación, ed. Tita Merello: la morocha argentina. Argentina: Aguilar. ISBN 987-04-0577-0." is actually "Delgado, Josefina (2006). Tita Merello, la morocha argentina (in Spanish) (1a. ed.). Buenos Aires, Argentina: Aguilar. p. 13. ISBN 987-04-0577-0." So I thought, okay, maybe one author just got screwed up, next source, same thing, it says the author is Göttling, Jorge but the actual author is Ernestina Herrera de Noble. I checked them both with an ISBN and google search. I then started checking links and either they don't support the text, or go to dead sites. Makes me suspect all the citations. So...I am having to document from scratch and am not finding any book links. Anyway, I will probably lose a bunch of the hyperbole and some of the text which I cannot verify. Since the citations are clearly incorrect, I don't trust that any of it can be simply translated and wanted to give you a heads up that the sourcing is bad. SusunW ( talk) 00:14, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Let me first of all, work on the Gates "panic" section to pare it down. I think the details should go into footnotes so it's understood what Gates' position in all of this was.

I may have found the answer re: the Bath Hotel. pages 86-87 The White Horse Cellar was listed as 150 Piccadilly and described as well known because of the many stage coaches which made a stop there. This was taken from an 1850 London guide. A map from circa 1869-1874 says there was a Bath Hotel at the corner of Arlington and Piccadilly. This is where the current Ritz stands, but there were other businesses also: a coach builder, a coal merchant, a stationer and Cockburn's, the wine merchant. The businesses had buildings of their own. The story goes on to say that Lord Walsingham purchased the properties circa 1886, demolished the structures and began building Walsingham House. The White Horse Cellar was considered a famous coaching inn. We hope ( talk) 01:03, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

And this is the shame of it--no access provided to those not in the US. The publications you can download either at HathiTrust or Google Books are so old they're safely out of print. If you wanted to buy a copy of one, you'd need to do it on the secondary market. There's no more money to be made on them by the publisher. If this is worrying them, why not allow downloading for those in the US only but permit viewing of the material in the US PD to everyone? Not sure what the viewing status of Life magazine is outside of the US at Google Books, but in the US, you can freely view it (most are still under copyright)-you just can't download it. I wish they'd use a system like this. Have just tested a proxy server. This one's been around a while so there are no nasty surprises--the worst that happens is that you have to click off on an ad before you can start viewing. The spam filter won't let me post the link but you can search for hide my a** and find it. Select the United States and give it the url of the book at Google you want to see.

My exams have finished. It went rather well. I managed to watch a few Hitchcock films these past three days (Rear Window (1954), Vertigo (1958), The 39 Steps (1935), Dial M for Murder (1954), Sabotage (1936) and Rebecca (1940).) Rear Window was the first Hitchcock film I had seen in my life. All these films, especially Dial M for Murder, really showed me why Hitchcock is called "The master of suspense". All of his films, besides the thrills, have a great humour quotient in them, especially Rear Window in the scene where Jeffries speaks to Stella about Mrs. Lonelyhearts. When Stella wishes for Lonelyhearts to find the right man and happiness along with the man, Jeffries retorts that the man will lose his happiness. ROFL. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 08:04, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
All great, except Sabotage Ssven2. Psycho, Shadow of a Doubt, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Wrong Man, Northwest, To Catch a Thief, The Lady Vanishes, Frenzy and the Birds you must see asap too. Psycho in particular on first viewing you'll consider it probably the greatest film you've ever seen. I've seen every film of Hitchcock's from 1935 onwards, but I've managed to find the vast majority of his oldest ones which I'll be watching in the next few weeks. I've seen two or three of the silents I think but soon enough I'll be able to say I've seen every film of his which isn't lost ;-). Not many duds out the lot, most are masterpieces or very good-great films, I suppose his weaker efforts off the top of my head are Jamaica Inn (a shambles of a film which didn't capture the true essence by Hitchcock's own admission, it needed sinister actors and we got jovial Charles Laughton!) Lifeboat, Under Capricorn and Torn Curtain. Jamaica Inn does stay in my mind as one of the worst films I've ever seen actually, perhaps because I rated the novel so highly and had high expectations of Hitchcock to capture the true atmosphere of it and it came off just the opposite, like a pantomime in fact. It was included in the The Fifty Worst Films of All Time which I'd have to agree with, although there's undoubtedly much worse films made such as low budget horror type ones, but for a director like Hitchcock it was abysmal.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:22, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
@ Ssven2: Best to watch Psycho on a cold wet night with the curtains drawn, thunder and lightning outside and in solitude ;-) Honestly though, see as many of his films as you can, more often than not you won't be disappointed. Even ones like Family Plot are entertaining ones and have their charm. If you want atmosphere I highly recommend The Birds, incredible really the hostility he created in that film, quite frightening at times. Psycho, Vertigo and Rear Window are in my top 25 greatest ever film list, and believe me, given how many I've seen it has to be a special film to cut the mustard!!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:04, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
If you haven't seen some of the ones on my top 25 list they're vital to see!!:
@ Ssven2: Glad you enjoyed it! Especially if you consider the year it was made in 1960. People would have been dumbstruck coming out of a cinema seeing it. Another monumental film from 1960 I urge you to watch is Peeping Tom (film), an all time masterpiece and still shocking to this day. In fact if you read the Peeping Tom article you'll find "Chris Rodley's documentary A Very British Psycho (1997) draws comparisons between Peeping Tom and Hitchcock's Psycho; the latter film was given its New York premiere in June 1960, two months after Peeping Tom 's premiere in London. "♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:38, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
It's an excellent film, but IMO a bit overrated in comparison to some of the others.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:15, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
I'm so good at finding films I've even seen The Mountain Eagle ;-) Got that one up to GA a while back.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:58, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
@ Ssven2: I see you've now seen The Kid (1921 film) and rated it the full 5 stars, told you so, Krimuk90 still hasn't seen it :-). I see three of the greatest films of the 90s and of all time are not on your list, trust me on this, urgently check out The Shawshank Redemption (1994), LA Confidential (1997) and Barton Fink (1991). After watching Shawshank for the first time it blew my mind, it got better and better as it progressed to the point at the end I thought "wow, this really is the best film ever made!!". In terms of plot and twist I still say it is very close to that. Isn't it the top ranked film on imdb too? For a very good reason!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:49, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
@ Ssven2: Yup, the highest ranked film on imdb! The order of the rest of the list is dubious though, Django Unchained better than Once Upon a Time in America? Not even 1/10th as good, and I'm sure Tarantino himself would agree!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:01, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Longest thing I ever translated. I cannot look at it any more. Someone needs to proof it and I am absolutely positive that it is more than start class, but have no idea what it is. The documentation was well cited and on Spanish wiki that is amazing. I did change some of the referencing if I could not find the source. I also took out a bunch of quotes and flowery stuff, but it is still a really, really long file. Have worked on it all weekend. I am going for a glass of vino. I deserve it.

We can try. The only down side is that this wasn't the type of place that generated publicity (celebrity photos at the restaurant, etc.) material. Where Billingsley had a house photographer, went out of his way to get the press in the door and printed postcards and the like, I have yet to find a photo of the restaurant's interior--original decor or re-done--that isn't on the couple's website. You can find photos from Toots Shor's and El Morocco because they wanted publicity the same as Sherm did for the Stork. Maybe they would release some photos via OTRS if they were contacted, since the restaurant has been gone foe a while now. BTW-I have more Stork Club photos to upload when I get a minute (and I've had to resort to archiving some of my backlog). Life magazine forgot to renew the copyrights on all of its 1944 issues and some of its 1945 ones-the issue with the article & photos of the Stork Club is one in the 1944 lot.

Saw your ping. I've been thinking about it and doing some research, as well as talking to a few people. The Guardian contains a potted history anyway and the gist seems to be that simply renaming and moving a newspaper doesn't justify a separate article: its outlook etc remained the same, it remained under the Scott Trust etc. So, I'm a bit torn here: it might be better to try expanding the history in the existing article and then wait for someone to say "hey, this is getting a bit big - fork it". - Sitush ( talk) 10:25, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

As you already know, I've been working on the Thanhouser films - though it seems that someone thinks they don't meet N. To make them FA - films would need appropriate context and that is somewhat difficult to do with more than century having past. I've gotten new sources and new materials, but with each work found and discovered it becomes clear that Thanhouser is very unique and very special. At peak produced 25% of the Independent films, those outside the Edison Trust - Universal later forming and rising to exceed. However quantity was not a problem because Thanhouser films helped define and found the techniques of the industry, even bring political and social issues to light. Narrative structure and the quality of the productions far exceeded the other studios - namely The Star of Bethlehem (film). Ugh - I don't want to feel like USROADs, but considering the information and details which exist it seems going about it from specific to broad is not someone's cup of tea. ChrisGualtieri ( talk) 06:08, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
A lot of them won't be potential FA material of course because the info may be very sketchy so not read like an FA, but I reckon there's a few of them with more content and quality of info which could be brought up to FA. There's absolutely no question about notability though, Thanhouser and Edison Studios were the studios at least in my mind for that late 1900s - early 1910s period, and I think you've done very well to find what you have on all of them. Whoever thinks they're not notable is clueless about the history of film. Which ones do you consider your best articles to date? One of my favourites is A Dog's Love which I also started, that's a real gem, I'm not sure there would be enough to get it to FA level though! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:29, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, I've just rather brutally reverted or partially reverted some of your edits. You added the Category:Châteaux in Haut-Rhin to some articles about castles. In English (and this is, of course, English Wikipedia) "château" is used to refer to French examples of what in English would be called palaces or mansions or stately homes. The French are less fussy, having a smaller vocabulary. They use "château" in that sense, but also for castles, vineyards and even water towers ("château d'eau"). It causes a lot of confusion, even for the French. (Direction signs can be quite interesting! You can never be sure what you will find if you follow a sign to "Château de XXXX". An English friend of mine was bemused to find himself staring at a water tower when he expected s medieval defensive structure!) In English, "castle" is for the military building. This has caused considerable confusion here before,, hence the page List of castles in France and the categories for castles in each French region, e.g. Category:Castles in Alsace.
There are, of course, some structures that are both castle (as originally built) and château (after later modification): Château d'Amboise is a classic example. Emeraude ( talk) 06:31, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
Emeraude You're preaching to an experienced editor with chateaux who knows fully well this, I've known this since about 2007. Why do you think I created all of the chateaux categories separate from "castles". I don't see where I've called something a castle. All I did was stub sort, and copied the existing Template:France-castle-stub which includes both castles and chateaux in one for convenience in stub sorting. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:09, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
Ah I see what happened, I categorized some of the castles with titles Chateau de with Chateaux without looking at the articles and realizing they were castles. Sorry about that. I still think then you should create Category:Castles in Haut-Rhin rather than clog up the main department category.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:12, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
You may be right, but it took some time to create categories for castles in regions! (These categories had been deleted some years ago in a rather silly discussion.) The reason for using the département category is really just to make a categorical link with the département. If an article fits into some sub-category (e.g. Structures in Haut-Rhin) it's not necessary. The good work you are doing on categories ought to mean that this happens. Emeraude ( talk) 07:43, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
It's part of the stub sorting proposal in Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. We ought to have struct-stub templates by department and at least 60 articles on chateaux, castles, churches, museums and theatres etc for each. Any help creating them and ordering them would be most welcome it'll take a long time to go through them myself!♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:01, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

I was hoping to finish with the Argentine actresses this weekend, but I'm not going to be able to. Merello's sourcing is bizarre to say the least. (Almost worse than having no sourcing whatsoever) For example, this source on the Spanish Wiki page "Cavallaro, Diana (2006). La Nación, ed. Tita Merello: la morocha argentina. Argentina: Aguilar. ISBN 987-04-0577-0." is actually "Delgado, Josefina (2006). Tita Merello, la morocha argentina (in Spanish) (1a. ed.). Buenos Aires, Argentina: Aguilar. p. 13. ISBN 987-04-0577-0." So I thought, okay, maybe one author just got screwed up, next source, same thing, it says the author is Göttling, Jorge but the actual author is Ernestina Herrera de Noble. I checked them both with an ISBN and google search. I then started checking links and either they don't support the text, or go to dead sites. Makes me suspect all the citations. So...I am having to document from scratch and am not finding any book links. Anyway, I will probably lose a bunch of the hyperbole and some of the text which I cannot verify. Since the citations are clearly incorrect, I don't trust that any of it can be simply translated and wanted to give you a heads up that the sourcing is bad. SusunW ( talk) 00:14, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Take a look at the photo and now take a look at The Ritz in 1907. It looks like the Walsingham House was neatly erased and replaced by the Ritz. I have something for the Walsingham House interior I'll upload next. Then (we both hope), on to Bath House. :) We hope ( talk) 16:17, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

I may have found the answer re: the Bath Hotel. pages 86-87 The White Horse Cellar was listed as 150 Piccadilly and described as well known because of the many stage coaches which made a stop there. This was taken from an 1850 London guide. A map from circa 1869-1874 says there was a Bath Hotel at the corner of Arlington and Piccadilly. This is where the current Ritz stands, but there were other businesses also: a coach builder, a coal merchant, a stationer and Cockburn's, the wine merchant. The businesses had buildings of their own. The story goes on to say that Lord Walsingham purchased the properties circa 1886, demolished the structures and began building Walsingham House. The White Horse Cellar was considered a famous coaching inn. We hope ( talk) 01:03, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
Old and New London: Westminster and the western suburbs is now in the Library. There's a large section on Piccadilly starting at page 253 and continuing to page 314. A lot about the White Horse Cellar-pages 259-261. We hope ( talk) 13:38, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
And this is the shame of it--no access provided to those not in the US. The publications you can download either at HathiTrust or Google Books are so old they're safely out of print. If you wanted to buy a copy of one, you'd need to do it on the secondary market. There's no more money to be made on them by the publisher. If this is worrying them, why not allow downloading for those in the US only but permit viewing of the material in the US PD to everyone? Not sure what the viewing status of Life magazine is outside of the US at Google Books, but in the US, you can freely view it (most are still under copyright)-you just can't download it. I wish they'd use a system like this. Have just tested a proxy server. This one's been around a while so there are no nasty surprises--the worst that happens is that you have to click off on an ad before you can start viewing. The spam filter won't let me post the link but you can search for hide my a** and find it. Select the United States and give it the url of the book at Google you want to see. While you can't view the item, you can download the PDF of it, so you can ultimately have the book to refer to. We hope ( talk) 20:27, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

My exams have finished. It went rather well. I managed to watch a few Hitchcock films these past three days (Rear Window (1954), Vertigo (1958), The 39 Steps (1935), Dial M for Murder (1954), Sabotage (1936) and Rebecca (1940).) Rear Window was the first Hitchcock film I had seen in my life. All these films, especially Dial M for Murder, really showed me why Hitchcock is called "The master of suspense". All of his films, besides the thrills, have a great humour quotient in them, especially Rear Window in the scene where Jeffries speaks to Stella about Mrs. Lonelyhearts. When Stella wishes for Lonelyhearts to find the right man and happiness along with the man, Jeffries retorts that the man will lose his happiness. ROFL. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 08:04, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
All great, except Sabotage Ssven2. Psycho, Shadow of a Doubt, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Wrong Man, Northwest, To Catch a Thief, The Lady Vanishes, Frenzy and the Birds you must see asap too. Psycho in particular on first viewing you'll consider it probably the greatest film you've ever seen. I've seen every film of Hitchcock's from 1935 onwards, but I've managed to find the vast majority of his oldest ones which I'll be watching in the next few weeks. I've seen two or three of the silents I think but soon enough I'll be able to say I've seen every film of his which isn't lost ;-). Not many duds out the lot, most are masterpieces or very good-great films, I suppose his weaker efforts off the top of my head are Jamaica Inn (a shambles of a film which didn't capture the true essence by Hitchcock's own admission, it needed sinister actors and we got jovial Charles Laughton!) Lifeboat, Under Capricorn and Torn Curtain. Jamaica Inn does stay in my mind as one of the worst films I've ever seen actually, perhaps because I rated the novel so highly and had high expectations of Hitchcock to capture the true atmosphere of it and it came off just the opposite, like a pantomime in fact. It was included in the The Fifty Worst Films of All Time which I'd have to agree with, although there's undoubtedly much worse films made such as low budget horror type ones, but for a director like Hitchcock it was abysmal.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:22, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
@ Ssven2: Best to watch Psycho on a cold wet night with the curtains drawn, thunder and lightning outside and in solitude ;-) Honestly though, see as many of his films as you can, more often than not you won't be disappointed. Even ones like Family Plot are entertaining ones and have their charm. If you want atmosphere I highly recommend The Birds, incredible really the hostility he created in that film, quite frightening at times. Psycho, Vertigo and Rear Window are in my top 25 greatest ever film list, and believe me, given how many I've seen it has to be a special film to cut the mustard!!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:04, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
If you haven't seen some of the ones on my top 25 list they're vital to see!!:
@ Ssven2: Glad you enjoyed it! Especially if you consider the year it was made in 1960. People would have been dumbstruck coming out of a cinema seeing it. Another monumental film from 1960 I urge you to watch is Peeping Tom (film), an all time masterpiece and still shocking to this day. In fact if you read the Peeping Tom article you'll find "Chris Rodley's documentary A Very British Psycho (1997) draws comparisons between Peeping Tom and Hitchcock's Psycho; the latter film was given its New York premiere in June 1960, two months after Peeping Tom 's premiere in London. "♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:38, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
It's an excellent film, but IMO a bit overrated in comparison to some of the others.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:15, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
I'm so good at finding films I've even seen The Mountain Eagle ;-) Got that one up to GA a while back.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:58, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
@ Ssven2: I see you've now seen The Kid (1921 film) and rated it the full 5 stars, told you so, Krimuk90 still hasn't seen it :-). I see three of the greatest films of the 90s and of all time are not on your list, trust me on this, urgently check out The Shawshank Redemption (1994), LA Confidential (1997) and Barton Fink (1991). After watching Shawshank for the first time it blew my mind, it got better and better as it progressed to the point at the end I thought "wow, this really is the best film ever made!!". In terms of plot and twist I still say it is very close to that. Isn't it the top ranked film on imdb too? For a very good reason!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:49, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
@ Ssven2: Yup, the highest ranked film on imdb! The order of the rest of the list is dubious though, Django Unchained better than Once Upon a Time in America? Not even 1/10th as good, and I'm sure Tarantino himself would agree!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:01, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
