Let me tell you a story about right and wrong. The left hand and the right hand. The left hand is hate. The right hand is love. I hate the fact that most of the movies on my list did not even get close to placing, but I love the list, which I think is the best Canon list yet.
So what does everyone think about the canon? What does it say about the Milk Plus members and readers who voted, you know, besides having a kick ass taste in film and a probable obsession with the Coen brothers? Wait, no, I now mean Woody Allen. Plus, if anyone wants to share their honorable mentions go right ahead, and if you by chance missed out on the voting, feel free to share your own top ten list in this comments thread.
