What's a movie you are near *positive* Roger would have added to the Great Movies if he got around to it?

Obviously, you could never be certain about it, but what's a movie you are like 95% confident would have made it to the Great Movies eventually?

Me, I think an almost definite one would be Hannah and Her Sisters

Before the Devil Know You Are Dead. Every part of his review reads like it would've soon been on the list.

The film he was blowing his wad the hardest over towards the end of his life was easily "Synecdoche, New York." He was blowing his wad over that one even harder than he blew it over "Magnolia."

I thought it was great of him to defend "Minority Report," a film that doesn't really seem to have gone down as one of Spielberg's classics.
