  1. Great list. The Malick films should go as follows.

  2. Miami Vice in the top 100? Have you ever writen a review I can read, because that just sounds insane to me. Otherwise, it's your best list yet, very cool.

  3. You can find my original short review of Miami Vice from way back in August 2006 here.

    There's a lot of other, better, pro-Miami Vice stuff out there on the internet as well.
