-Love the list from 200 to 1 :
-Balthazar deserves his rank imo
-For me, Death on Venice > The Leopard ( although the wedding chapter at the end is astonishing)
-No Stalker? ;)
-Herzog got proper recognition, I appreciate it.
-Caché, Jeanne d'Arc and Umberto D are among my favorites.

Thanks again!
