It's not the public responses to filmographic requests that are objectionable. Ben is right: others may be interested in a particular category. What I find objectionable is the way these requests trigger "stream of consciousness" responses and personal musings that are not appropriate to a list devoted to the >>study<< of film. Lists like CINEMA-L are available for folks who want to utter their personal, unsubstantiated, uncritical, uninteresting opinions. Or they might try the local tavern or dorm lounge or pizza parlor.
