"12 Angry Men"
The one guy I don't like in that movie is Lee J. Cobb. Not certain
why, maybe his acting is a little too phony, too much of an
affectation.
But look at the photo in the article. There are only eleven men
pictured and he is not included.

Thanks for that. I did come across "Death of a Salesman" associated
with Lee J. Cobb, but "Biff" wasn't mentioned.
Here is my Christmas gift to you:

Lee J. Cobb is noted for playing Willy Loman in Arthur Miller‘s Death of a Salesman. Willy’s oldest son, with whom he did not see eye to eye, was named Biff.

Adam made an erudite joke about Lee J Cobb. Mack didnt get it and said so. >Adam responded with a sigh.
Mack interpreted the sigh as, you are an idiot for not understanding.
Just for the record, thats how I interpreted the sigh too.
But now it appears Adam intended the sigh as a signal of disappointment
that people didnt understand his joke. No condescension; just regret.
Sounds like a minor misunderstanding to me. Amusing, even. Happy holidays

Since you appeared to ask:
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a cartoon, a good one in fact,
but it doesn't belong on a list with Lawrence of Arabia.
The Shawshank Redemption is adored by millions, but not me. I'll
admit I will always allow myself to enjoy the last 20 minutes or so,
but still that doesn't make it a great movie.
Star Wars: Episode V- The Empire Strikes Back: It's good, but the
first movie was the brilliant one. So why isn't the first movie on
the list?
Inside Out: Another cartoon, and a rather obscure one. I predict
it'll soon be forgotten.
Whiplash: Not on my radar.
Alien and Aliens: Excellent sci-fi but not "great" films.
12 Years a Slave: Haven't seen it but seems too recent to be on a
list like this.
Spotlight: good but too recent.
LA Confidential: Didn't click with me.
Inception: Great movie? C'mon.
Coco and Wall-E: Nice cartoons but not great.
Under the Skin: loved it, but but does it belong in the canon of
great movies? C'mon.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: Should be lumped with the
others which makes me wonder where the rest of this 100 movie list
is.
I agree almost unreservedly with putting all the other films on this
list, but there must be more to it somewhere. Love it or loathe it,
GWTW belongs on a list of great movies and so do plenty more that
don't show up here. At least it's clear the author has eclectic taste
and a broad appreciation of the good stuff.
