You didn't answer the question about where did the stupid line about laughs come from.Yes, both of those films are good, but not truly special. Both fail on the sentimental side - not such a big deal, just a fact. When I said humane, I presume it was clear I appreciated them. Just would not consider them among the ten best... no way.
You seem to be forgetting there are about forty years between them and the Thief. Just like someone painting in Flemish manner would seem dated, so do film makers who fail to push the envelop.
So - that laughing question... still waiting.
I do not know about the critic's lists, as I don't read those.
