Welcome to the boards Javi :). Great first post! Especially glad to see Pather Panchali and Hoop Dreams on that list :). Oh and Sherlock Jr too!

Great to see some well needed love for Marty, but The Man Who Knew Too Much, ouch!

Nice list. Brave putting a few Keaton and no Chaplin on there. Going on the screenshot alone I want to see Mishima.

Was that Keaton in some kind of Chaplin disguise in The Gold Rush?

I'm down to my final 193. Once I decide on whether or not I will include short films, I can really get moving.

Yes you can!  It doesn't even have to be a 100 films.  And the order doesn't have to be exactly right.  Or even close to right.

It's easy!

Sidenote: I spent two hours yesterday trying to decide on films 99 and 100, despite knowing full well that it wouldn't matter in the long run.

Exactly.  I keep trying to put together a list in my head, and it just doesn't seem possible.

I'm just saying:  If you took all of your favorite films and picked 100 of them at random and submitted that as your list, it'd still be better than submitting no list at all.

Yes we can!  Yes we can!
