Wie houdt nou niet van lijstjes? Ieder jaar worden we rond de jaarwisseling platgebombardeerd met lijstjes van het grootste nieuws, de beste films, en ga maar door. Nu iets eerder, want acteur George Clooney, die zelf in menig toplijst aanwezig is, onthulde tijdens een interview zijn top 100 beste films uit de periode 1964-1976.
Clooney koos bewust enkel voor dit decennium, omdat het volgens hem "the greatest era in filmmaking by far" is. Zijn vijf favoriete films zijn All the President's Men, Network, Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, Carnal Knowledge en Harold and Maude.
