Thanks, you have great taste yourself. Bela Tarr is without a doubt my favorite living director (with the exception of Scorsese). Also, how the hell did you find Out 1? Rivette is so hard to find, even on netflix.

They screened it at the UCLA Film Archive over 2 days in July 2007. I can't wait to see it again. I was floored.

I would agree with pretty much all of this list as being among the greatest films ever made, especially Tokyo Story, Citizen Kane and Greed which, if you haven't read the book on which it is based ( McTeague by Frank Norris) I suggest you might find it worthwhile. Von Stroheim almost bankrupted the studio in making the film which he wanted to be as close to the novel as a film could be. Both the book and the film are monuments to their respective art forms.

Oh yes indeed. It is probably the ultimate sin of Hollywood that the studio destroyed the eight hours of footage cut from Greed. Stroheim is really one of the American cinema's unspoken masters. His Foolish Wives is also a masterpiece and while not being as immense as Greed, is still as biting a satire on post-WWI European society as you can get.
