    Seems like you need to get past that and finish off the list. Meanwhile, I have a lot of movies to watch if I'm to ever catch up to anyone, especially you. I've only seen 28 of the 100.

    It is disturbing. Not uncharacteristic with Kubrick.

    I've only seen 24 of the films on that list. I know I probably should have/should see more of them.

    I've seen them all and its amazing how some movies don't hold up well over time. And other older films are still great. Try looking back on the Oscars website sometime and look which films won Best Picture and the other nominated films. Can anyone still tell me that Shakespeare In Love is better than Saving Private Ryan?

    Going through this with my wife (she had 62), there was another glaring omission: "To Sir With Love."

    Others:

    • "Falling Down"
    • "Jurassic Park"
    • "The Exorcist"
    • "The Big Chill"
    • "Dirty Harry"
    • "Mary Poppins"

    Sleeper: "I Love You To Death"
