Other notes on individual lists
2010: Includes multiple titles for some directors.
2011: Limits each director to 3 films. Thus, some films by Dreyer, Bresson, Tarkovsky, Kieslowski, Bergman, & the Dardenne brothers are not included (which would have otherwise been included). Some of these extra films are in the 2010 Top 100 list.
2020: Limits each director to only one "official" film. Carville's list herein includes the other titles by that director cited within the write up for the chosen title which were also officially nominated, considered for inclusion, and recommended as also being worthy of viewing.
Carville personal comment - The list of films is NOT a list of "Christian" films. If it were, I would have absolutely no interest in it. Several of the people voting on this list are obviously extremely open minded and progressive in their thinking. I love this list because it encompasses a wide range of films for thinking people interested in philosophy; sociology and humanity; concepts of God and the meaning of Life; issues pertaining to religion and religious faith of every denomination imaginable; the misuse of religion, religious dogma, and faith; and larger issues dealing with the basic fundamental spirit of man and mankind. I do not meet the fundamentalist definition of a "Christian", and also do not consider myself to be a "religious" person because I personally reject "religious dogma" and proselytizing. I instead consider myself to be a very spiritual person with perhaps a more "eastern" slant in my philosophical beliefs, and recognize that there are shared fundamental truths in all religious foundations. I am intelligent and very scientific in my thinking and believe that a higher consciousness (aka "God") does exist which permeates the totality of time, matter, space; within every corner of the universe from the tiniest building block of every atom to the universe as a whole; and within every living soul contained within the universe. This is one of my absolute favorite movie lists because I have found so many beautiful films which challenge my thoughts, help me to appreciate Life and the human spirit, and contemplate larger philosophical issues in a deeply profound way. There are many titles on this list which are not on any other film list, including some absolute jewels that I would have never seen were it not for their inclusion on this list, and which I am so grateful to have discovered. I am sharing this comment with the hope that anyone who contemplates pursuing this list will better understand what types of films are included.
