202. 8½ (1963): 8.0
  • I've seen it: in 2007.

207. The Best Years of Our Lives (1946): 8.0
  • I have not seen it.
208. Sin City (2005): 8.0

  • I've seen it: a couple of times.
  • I've reviewed it: "Full of ironic hidden meanings. Characters talk about sex without talking about sex in such a way that we are left in no doubt whatsoever about who is having sex with whom. The Nazi characters speak with a courteous formality that is wonderfully full of evil menace."
242. Gangs of Wasseypur (2012): 8.0
  • I have not seen it.
243. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966): 8.0
  • I've seen it: in 2015.
  • I reviewed it:  "So, it’s an unlikely drama, hinging on a dumb plot device, and it’s about a quartet of people who turn out to be, each in their own way, fairly unpleasant people. This is not a great recipe for entertainment! And yet, I was kind of riveted."
  • My imdb rating: 8.

  • I have not seen it.  
248. In the Mood for Love (2000): 8.0
