lol, the pianist is pretty good, but it's far from being the only good one from his list.

Just because you only like 1% of the movies listed doesn't mean everyone feels that way.
Not even saying WHY that movie is better or what other movies might be good just makes your post no better than a troll looking for attention.

Cannot say Saving Private Ryan isn't good
