I've seen it, and it's one of the greatest documentaries I've seen. So its exclusion on my list isn't saying that Hoop Dreams isn't that great, but that there are that many films that I favor for whatever reason (e.g., a film that I'd probably be in the mood for most of the time). Really, past the 20th or 30th spot, give or take a few, they're interchangeable. Plus, my list was one of favorites. Maybe you're someone who makes no such distinction between favorite and best/greatest, but I'm one that does.

>I'm disappointed, PTP. I'm shaking my head right now.

I thought Bus 174 was gonna be higher, but I'm not disappointed in its ranking or the final list, can't hate on them, since I'm assuming most lists were ranking favorites.
