I'm also curious if maybe some folks would be interested in taking the challege of filling out the missing from all 100 in the next 12 months

I'm going to do this.

As am I. There are 28 I haven't seen.

I'm pretty surprised to find that 41 movies from my top 100 made the cut.
Ugh, I don't want to know how few of mine made it. You people need to watch more non-american movies.

About half my list was foreign, but I suspect the majority of those 41 are from the American half.

You can skip All the President's Men and watch the others, sean should watch all of his.

Along with the 12 I need to see, I'm gonna catch up on people's personal lists starting with whoever's list I've seen the least of.

Or maybe just pick somebody.

You probably won't like Requiem but those other three you should check out.

I plan to.  (Been saying that for a long time though).

Totoro is the perfect film to watch between Stalker and JD.

No chance in hell.

Besides I already promised pix Wild Reeds, Eureka, and Streetwalker. I should probably just keep bartering with him before moving to someone else.

Okay, so late to the party, but pretty awesome top 100. Thanks so much Wilson!!

Now some comments...I was super surprised to see 26 of my films on the list...can this be right?!?

And also, the fact that I was quoted on Before Sunrise, Annie Hall, Casablanca, and The Godfather was so flattering. I didn't think I had coherent thoughts in my reviews. And for it to be on those, which for the most part are so high, it made me smile. But I suppose it's probably more because I was one of the more recent to see these, playing catch-up as it were.

I also want to out Mr. Hutchinson for his blurb on Annie Hall. He actually didn't see the whole film, just a small part including the Jeff Goldblum part, which I had warned him of previously, but also cool to see him quoted.

Yay for things like this!!
