Very nice, Emiliana.  We share twelve titles, and you had another fifteen or so that were high on my shortlist.  Even though I didn't vote for them, I especially loved seeing:

20. Four Weddings and a Funeral
23. The Sweet Hereafter
37. Mary Poppins
54. The Thief of Bagdad
55. The Matrix
66. Metropolis (1927)
85. Groundhog Day

Oh, and Cabaret at #1 and Eureka at #5 ...  :).

I'm surprised by 500 Days of Summer. I'm thrilled that Little Children is getting some support.

nice list, and i'm not sure i'm too surprised by much on there, a nice chunk of films about film :)

So glad to see Eyes Wide Shut in #2 Basil. I thought I was alone in my love of that film.

currently at my 12-spot, though i am still doing a lot of shifting

Well, 5 if I would contribute but due to mental and emotional issues.  I'm unable to due a top 100 films list.

:(  you doing okay?  (and i wouldn't feel bad about just putting 10-20 in, that is where most of the points are anyway :) )
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.
