Pretty good list.
I have seen 62 of the 100 films.

How many have you seen?

[nycomet]

I've seen all of them. I guess I can die now.

[supersix4]

I wasnt keeping track lol I saw lots I had seen tho. Jaws !!!!!

[Blu Titan]

A fantastic list. I have seen 91 of the 100.

[cartman781]

39 for me

[Lapse of Reason]

I've seen 45 yet many of the older ones are on my "to see" list. Some I even own but have not watched just yet.

[Batman1980]

Meh I could probably tell you how many of those I had seen if they had presented it in a list form.

[Edo]

wow a lot of those movies dont belong on that list in my opinion

[Sarge]

I've seen about 60; need to catch up on the some of the older ones.

Don't like the list; a little too poltically correct where they seem to try and cover as many different genres, talent and eras as possible. Or recognizing films that have paved the way for others. Sequals seem to be grouped together with a single entry. Only one Disney animated flick (and it's Snow White???). I will admit to having not seen "Princess Mononoke", but find it hard to believe that it would warrant inclusion over Braveheart, Gladiator, Dances with Wolves, Forrest Gump, etc, etc.

Nice to see Shawshank there; a bit unexpected but one of my favorites.

[Red Hood]

im a long way from dying.

[JimShaw]

75 out of a 100

25 more to go. I better slow down. I am too young to die

Having a page for every movie is tiresome.

Are any of these a must see? Can you reccommend 5 of these I should see before I die.

Some considered classics like Citizen Kane, I would not recommend to anyone, others like 12 Angry Men is a must see.
