Excellent list! I put Lolita at the top of mine followed by Dead Ringers and Reversal of Fortune. Im afraid Ive not seen as many of his films as I would like, so I can't put together my own top 10, (Sad, I need more of his movies) I have had a crush on him since I was about 10 and saw Lolita for the first time.

Good list, but I agree Dead Ringers and Reversal of Fortune should be on there, and also Brideshead Revisited!
