On the "Recommendations" post (2nd from the top), I ammended the "rule" of "only recommending 7.3+ or higher" to the following:
Please only choose those you feel have a solid chance of me rating at or above the lowest rating shown on the list you're recommending for.
Therefore, if the list (such as my in-progress "Greatest Paintings - Extended List", which has now been added as an option) goes lower than 7.3 (like 6.8-7.2/10) it is now totally fine to send me such lower recommendations for such a list. It's now just based on whatever the particular list indicates.
Also, please note that my current incarnation of "Greatest Classical Music Works" only goes as low as 7.8/10 so the same "rule" applies. I will likely expand it to 7.3 sometime in the future, but currently 7.8+ is all I'm including. _________________ Best Classical

Hi AfterHours,
Perhaps, you could (re)consider Zelig by Woody Allen. Very profound, dense and funny. A powerful reflexion on conformism.

Thanks, I added it. It's been at the back of my mind as something I need to see for what seems like ages now. Thank you for the reminder _________________ Best Classical

Thank you, I have not seen the film and will add it. I know those paintings so will add them into the "to revisit" section. Except Grosz's The Funeral, which is already on my "Greatest Paintings" list (in The Lounge forum), unless you are recommending that I revisit it because I am rating it too low? If so, I'll add it but let me know. Amazing work though. I do have an analysis I wrote up on it a few years ago, which I'll add to my paintings list (or a separate, new list) at some point (among some other analyses for film, paintings, albums) _________________ Best Classical

Nope, didn't know about that, but I figured with Bosch in your top paintings that would probably be up your alley.
Edit: BTW if you want to see an academic view of that movie you could watch this, it's a great piece. It shows up at about 4:40.

Ok, I just added those.
As regards books, I'm not delving into those right now or looking to make any lists, but I will keep your recommendation in mind should that change in the future.
Here's that paintings list: https://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/v...hp?t=15560
Note that it has hundreds of further selections below the main list that are yet to be re-rated and re-ranked (for the most part; unless otherwise noted) _________________ Best Classical

Just looking at Scaruffi's page...how the hell does he (or anyone for that matter) have the time to listen to so many new albums, watch so many new films, read so many books, and write so much?
I appreciate that he's a professional cultural historian but this guy is unbelievably prolific.

It is very impressive. A few things to know is that he's been doing it pretty much full time for decades. He doesn't watch all those new films -- he has seen "just" those he has on his DECADES lists plus those UNDERLINED on the yearly ones (plus probably many others that didn't make it on the pre-2000s decades lists). The rest of those you see on the year-by-year rankings (late 1990s forward) that have NOT been underlined, have not been seen and the rating/ranking is just averaged out among his favorite critics until he does so himself. Otherwise, yes, it would be actually impossible. As it is, it is (barely) doable but still very impressive. _________________ Best Classical
