On Monday, in response to the New York Times‘s list of the Top 25 Films of the Century So Far, BPoFD announced its own list of the Top 25 Films of the Century So Far. Now, in preparation for an upcoming podcast with the critic David Salinas, BPoFD is publishing his list of the Top 50 (!) Films of the Century So Far. The Editorial Board assures the readership that this will be the last list on this topic. There is no need to send our interns any more aggrieved emails. Thank you.
