This list is absurd! It came up soap opera, short films and bad movies among only a few good ones. Find out about movies such as "Toda nudez será castigada", "Chuvas de Verão", "Quatrilho", "Dois filhos de Francisco", "A estrela sobe", "Gabriela", "Dona Flor", "A ostra e o vento", etc...

I totally disagree with you, Elias. You're talking about soapoperas and then you mention «Dois filhos de Francisco»? I agree with all the choices he made. He has chosen movies from different decades, different esthetics, different directors. Of course there will always be a missing movie. But the only thing that's absurd here is how unpolite you are. P.S.: It's a great blog, nevermind the rude people! keep up with the blog! Cheers from Brazil. Lígia.
