I'd like to see the tacky first sentence of the description removed, it doesn't fit in with the rest of the description and it isn't necessary. I'd also like to see a proper link under source, as it is it actually links back to itself.
Is there any official web site/book for this?
I can only find user-made lists throughout the web like this: http://www.listology.com/kenji/list/british-film-institute-360-classics
I guess Plae kao (1979)/The Scar is the wrong movie. It appears to be listed as The Scar (1978) and there are many other wrong dates on that list (you can also see that from the list order, like Metropolis listed as 1925, etc.)
So it looks like it's really Kieslowski's Blizna (1976)/The Scar.
The source for this list is a book, "360 film classics from the National Film and Television Archive" by Nick James from 1998 (WorldCat no. 39259278) - originally compiled in 1982.
I wrote and asked a librarian at the MoMA library, which holds a copy, about the title "The Scar". I received this reply:

Surprising how hostile that BFI rationale is to the AFI, especially given some heavy overlap with their own US picks.Kasparius
I didn't write any of it Mont, I lifted it from the BFI website.Knaldskalle

so it appears to be the correct movie.

You should email the guys at ICM, I can't edit the list myself.Melvelet

Yeah but the key thing, is that they have other countries in their list.Alias
I like the feist of this list.monty
@kas: Hahaha, yeah, why should you want to edit something you wrote yourself, especially considering that it's so well put?
