Personally, I like instrospection. So many of Woody Allen's movies sit well with me. He also has the offbeat sense of humor that I can relate too.

Seems like fundamentally there are only a limited number of stories, and most are variations on each other. The trick is finding characters that the viewers can like.-

I just watched Vicky Christina Barcelona (2008), with Javier Bardem ,a Woody Allen film, last night, it was pretty good, Woody Allen is very good. No trick in Javiers character that I liked...omg he's hot as hell IMO. not a ground breaking film, but kudos to Woody Allen

Hmm..

I'd add Brazil.. Until the End of the World.. The Fisher King.. Beauty and the Beast (the original, first one -- not the Disney crap) instead of a Trip to the Moon.. Metropolis.. and.. Dr Zhivago.. Maybe Temptation of Christ (for the controversy)..
Probably get rid of Basic Instinct and the Sixth Sense (come on -- I knew he was dead six minutes into the film) at least. -

Interesting list, subjective, but interesting. The list of criteria for "groundbreaking, controversial" seems to have been added after the films have been scrutinized, however.

I'd call Jim Jarmusch "groundbreaking" as a film-maker with "Stranger than Paradise" somewhere in the mix.
Nice, diverting thread. Thanks -

Sadly "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" didn't (and likely never will) make the list.

It's quite an interesting movie, in that Steve Martin is the only living actor featured in the film. The rest are all dead and scenes are constructed from old footage.
