Well, there are no Conner films on that list, but a glance at IMDB tells me Report probably belongs up there. Are you thinking of Michael Snow? Because he's pretty awesome.

Most of the film I've seen aren't really Top 5 worthy.

Oh, yeah, now I remember you saying that you have more films from 1967 on your top 100 than from the 30s and 40s combined. Apparently I don't have any films from 1967 on my list.
