    How many have you seen? I have a nice even 30. Very pleasantly surprised that Drunken Master II (or Legend of the Drunken Master as I always knew it) makes it in there, considering I am not particularly into Asian movies, martial arts movies, or Jackie Chan movies, it is obscene how many times I have watched it!

    Some of those seem rather dubious to be honest.

    Finding Nemo for one, enjoyable film all in all certainly not a top 100.

    Crap list IMHO.

    Swing Time (1936) get's in there but Shawshank Redemption doesn't ?

    I thought this was a pretty good list. First one I've seen that struck a good balance between good commercially successful films and arthouse ****.

    Seen 26 AFAIK and thats one strange list. No Potemkin? No Napoleon? Barry Lyndon in but no Paths of Glory? Psycho but no Rear Window? etc etc etc!

    I've only seen 9 and I don't care cos' that list is messed up! I mean The Fly (1986) gets in?! I liked the film but it's hardly in the top 100 EVER!

    I've seen 47. Didn't think I'd be higher than about 15 tbh! :) There's a few titles on there that I wouldn't have expected tbh.

    Gladiator? Aliens? Shawshank Redemption?
    Patchy top 100 at best.

    interesting list some nice selections from back in the older days

    bride of frankenstein, yojimbo, ikiru.

    i like the finding nemo choice aswell for a bit of a suprise.

    pretty good list all in all

    purple rose of cairo getting in ahead of annie hall and manhattan is fairly suprising as is psycho over rear window
    Gladiator? Aliens? Shawshank Redemption

    fantastic at last a list by a publication without any of these films especially Gladiator and Shawshank Redemption which are usually always thrown in lazily.
