    Glad to see The Taking of Pelham One Two Three made the cut. I love the way it takes its time, and Shaw and Matthau are so good. Army of Shadows is definitely on my list for 2014.

    I haven't seen For a Few Dollars More, but I love the rest of your top 5. I also watched Nashville recently, and I dug it.
