I find it a bit boring to include multiple entries by the same director. And I'm really not sure about The Godfather, Part II as there are so many films I really should rewatch. But there we are. Nice to see that five of my choices have cracked the top ten :)

After that, there's a significant drop in quality, I think. Do I really need to come up with three more films? :)
I did ask him. He said that he did publish in peer-review journals back in the day, when he was in the computer science industry. He also stated that now that he's not working with the Academia any longer, it's really hard to get anything peer-reviewed.

One of my favorites:

(from his page on the Rolling Stones)
Wow, thanks a lot for the link! That one comes in very handy, as I was just planning to start studying ancient civilization!
30 pages a day? What happened to speed reading?
I did ask him. He said that he did publish in peer-review journals back in the day, when he was in the computer science industry. He also stated that now that he's not working with the Academia any longer, it's really hard to get anything peer-reviewed.
Do you know where I could get hold of that Stockhausen piece, Cosmic Pulses?
