Normally I'm not a stickler for plots needing to be good in the traditional / formulaic sense, but I got these sense that the plot was heading somewhere while Hall's character was teaching Reilly's character to be a good at working the system, but that it fell apart with the whole motel room incident, which took place several years later as I recall. A plot development out of left field, plus later the revelation about Reilly's father.
Just feel like it would have been better with one contiguous plot, instead of a couple plot ideas stitched together with major time breaks between them. I enjoyed it though.

Anyone else have a favorite 100 list? @version do you have one? I finally just put mine together, probably need to tweak it a bit.
This list is more about personal favorites, rather than what I think would be the top 100 films I've seen, in terms of significance/influence.

Yeah I just recently rewatched that, and it is a bit awkward at times.

I'm trying to do this and it's interesting cos I've realised that I either haven't seen or saw and liked but wouldn't want to bother rewatching a lot of those highbrow BFI picks and the Empire list (which I usually like to think is too middle of the road for my refined tastes) is actually throwing up a lot more films I genuinely like

Yeah I still have a tough time making this distinction too: between films I genuinely like and films I respect.

I can give you my sign-in creds for the criterion channel streaming service if you want. Excellent selection there.

Nah, nowhere near. It's too many films to really work, imo. I'd end up scratching my head and arbitrarily sticking in stuff I liked just to get the full hundred.

Yeah, people are much more aware of how dodgy it is now, especially since it's allegedly based on the director's relationship with an underage girl.
Hollywood had a thing about Natalie Portman in general. There's another film from around that time called Beautiful Girls with a similar dynamic. She's talked about this stuff in the past and said how grim it was and how she was getting creepy letters from men who'd seen the films.

My initial comb through got me 168 candidates, then I had to prune a bunch to get down to 100.
