		 My opinions 
 
			 				1. "Citizen Kane," 1941.  - Well qualified for this spot. 
2. "The Godfather," 1972.  - Well qualified for this spot. 
3. "Casablanca," 1942.  - Well qualified for this spot. 
4. "Raging Bull," 1980. - Way overrated, I probably wouldn't put it on the list at all. 
5. "Singin' in the Rain," 1952. - Way overrated but near the top of musicals. 
6. "Gone With the Wind," 1939. - Way overrated. I simply don't care for this movie. 
7. "Lawrence of Arabia," 1962. - Move it up. 
8. "Schindler's List," 1993. - Never seen it. 
9. "Vertigo," 1958. - Not my favorite Hitchcock, I'd put a different movie this high up for him. 
10. "The Wizard of Oz," 1939. - Belongs on the list somewhere. 
11. "City Lights," 1931. - Eh. 
12. "The Searchers," 1956. - Super way overrated. Shouldn't be on list. 
13. "Star Wars," 1977. - Super way overrated, should be on list because of its cultural impact but not this high. 
14. "Psycho," 1960. - Better candidate for the top Hitchcock spot. 
15. "2001: A Space Odyssey," 1968.  - Ok. 
16. "Sunset Blvd.", 1950. - Ok. 
17. "The Graduate," 1967. - Eh, move it down a couple dozen. 
18. "The General," 1927. - Ok. 
19. "On the Waterfront," 1954. - Move it up. 
20. "It's a Wonderful Life," 1946. - Take it off the list. There is much good Capra, but for me this isn't. 
21. "Chinatown," 1974.  - Move it up. 
22. "Some Like It Hot," 1959. Ok, not my cup of tea but I understand why it is loved. 
23. "The Grapes of Wrath," 1940. - Only seen have and it was great. So ok. 
24. "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," 1982. - Best movie ever when I was eight. I was stupid when I was eight. If Spielberg doesn't respect the movie enough to leave it alone then I don't respect it enough to want it on the list. 
25. "To Kill a Mockingbird," 1962. - Never seen it. 
26. "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," 1939.  - Much better Capra than IaWL 
27. "High Noon," 1952. - Move it up. 
28. "All About Eve," 1950. - Move it up to the second spot. 
29. "Double Indemnity," 1944. - Way up. 
30. "Apocalypse Now," 1979. - Off the list. 
31. "The Maltese Falcon," 1941. - Ok 
32. "The Godfather Part II," 1974. - Ok 
33. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," 1975. - Ok 
34. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," 1937. - Off the list. Not even among the top ten Disney animated movies, unless you're just looking at cultural and industry impact 
35. "Annie Hall," 1977.  - Ok 
36. "The Bridge on the River Kwai," 1957. - Move it up. Put it right after Lawrence and give David Lean the listual blowjob he deserves. 
37. "The Best Years of Our Lives," 1946. - Are you kidding me? 
38. "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre," 1948.  - Ok. 
39. "Dr. Strangelove," 1964. - Move it up. 
40. "The Sound of Music," 1965. - Ok. 
41. "King Kong," 1933. - Ok, but only on cultural impact. 
42. "Bonnie and Clyde," 1967. - Ok 
43. "Midnight Cowboy," 1969. - Off the list. 
44. "The Philadelphia Story," 1940.  - Move it up. 
45. "Shane," 1953. - Ok. 
46. "It Happened One Night," 1934. - Higher please. 
47. "A Streetcar Named Desire," 1951. - Higher please. 
48. "Rear Window," 1954. - Another much better candidate for Hitchcock. 
49. "Intolerance," 1916. - Never seen it. 
50. "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," 2001. - Off the list. 
51. "West Side Story," 1961. - Ok. 
52. "Taxi Driver," 1976. - Ok, I'd be fine with switching this and Raging Bull. 
53. "The Deer Hunter," 1978.  - Off the list just because of the horrible nine-hour realtime recreation of Polish wedding. 
54. "M-A-S-H," 1970. - Ok 
55. "North by Northwest," 1959. - Ok 
56. "Jaws," 1975. - Ok 
57. "Rocky," 1976. - Ok 
58. "The Gold Rush," 1925. - Never seen it. 
59. "Nashville," 1975.  - Oh god no. Off the list, find another Altman. 
60. "Duck Soup," 1933. - Ok. 
61. "Sullivan's Travels," 1941. - Way higher please.  
62. "American Graffiti," 1973. - I'm more ok with this than Star Wars but I would be ok with pretending Lucas had never made any movies. 
63. "Cabaret," 1972. - Never seen it. 
64. "Network," 1976. - Higher please. 
65. "The African Queen," 1951. - Ok

69. "Tootsie," 1982. - Ok 
70. "A Clockwork Orange," 1971. - Ok 
71. "Saving Private Ryan," 1998. - Not just not a good movie, it is a bad movie with compelling imagery. Remove it from the list then burn the prints. 
72. "The Shawshank Redemption," 1994. - Way, way, way fricking higher. I believe CP would like this to be in the #2 spot. 
73. "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," 1969. - Ok. 
74. "The Silence of the Lambs," 1991. - Ok, but I don't think the movie has aged well. 
75. "In the Heat of the Night," 1967. - Higher. 
76. "Forrest Gump," 1994.  - See Saving Private Ryan 
77. "All the President's Men," 1976.  - Ok 
78. "Modern Times," 1936. - Ok 
79. "The Wild Bunch," 1969. - Higher please, should be above Unforgiven

81. "Spartacus," 1960. - Ok 
82. "Sunrise," 1927. - Haven't seen 
83. "Titanic," 1997. - I'd put this higher.

86. "Platoon," 1986. - Off the list. 
87. "12 Angry Men," 1957. - Higher. 
88. "Bringing Up Baby," 1938. - Way higher, somewhere up with The Philadelphia Story 
89. "The Sixth Sense," 1999. - Ok 
90. "Swing Time," 1936. - Ok 
91. "Sophie's Choice," 1982. - Off the list. I actually sent this back to Netflix after watching 30 minutes. 
92. "Goodfellas," 1990. - Way higher. 
93. "The French Connection," 1971. - Ok 
94. "Pulp Fiction," 1994. - Ok, but mostly because of cultural impact 
95. "The Last Picture Show," 1971. - Should be in the middle of the list, too bad Bodganovich faded. 
96. "Do the Right Thing," 1989. - Ok 
97. "Blade Runner," 1982. - Off the list. Not a good movie made worse by being supplanted by an excrutiating director's cut. 
98. "Yankee Doodle Dandy," 1942. - Ok 
99. "Toy Story," 1995. - Fun movie but no. 
100. "Ben-Hur," 1959. - Ok.
