Bridge Over the River Kwai
Cross of Iron
Apocalypse Now
Excalibur
The Great Escape
Cool Hand Luke

Enter the Dragon
The Mechanic

All the early Bond flicks w/Connery
Any Clint western for obvious reasons.

#24  Forrest Gump is top 100 worthy.

#23  Awful list. Wouldn't hang around with those bores to watch one of their stupid flicks...

Where was "The Forbidden Planet", "Rocky Horror", both versions of "Little Shop of Horrors", the "African Queen", all the Borgart flicks, the chillers and thrillers, the rock musicals, the sexploitation flicks, Clockwork Orange, and really strange stuff like 200 motels,.,,,,,, Really boring folks at Time Mag...
Course they never got near a bus let alone on one.
Where is ? where is? whole genres are missing.

#22  I missed Searchers. I guess I have to take back my disgust. But they did leave out 2001 A Space Odessey.
Posted by: BrerRabbit   2005-05-24 21:07  

#21  I added True Grit on mine....maybe the Shootist as well.... Searchers was on there, right?

#20  I think they left out any movie with John Wayne. Thats just down right Unamerican.

I was content they included Casablanca and Dr Strangelove, two of the very best.

#17  Jeremiah Johnson was pretty darn good, Frank.

#16  "The way that you wander is the way that you choose
The day that you tarry is the day that you lose
Sunshine or thunder a man will always wonder
where the fair wind blows..."

The only best thing Redford ever did right, IMHO.

You're tight - a classic and should be there. Will Geer was a major hoot, lol!

#15  Id add Jeremiah Johnson although I'm probably a minority on that one. One of my favs

#14  2 points: "Aguirre" can be viewed as a study of Hitler...

Also, there is no list without the "Wild Bunch".
Posted by: borgboy   2005-05-24 20:23  

#13  I'd add Open Range and True Grit to the list if westerns weren't overrepresented (like French flix)
Posted by: Frank G   2005-05-24 20:08  

#12  get the unrated/uncensored for hot puppet deviancy - gold rain and hot lunch delivered - yuk! The rest of the flick is a laugher!

#10  Blade Runner was there - a real surprise. Missing:

Wild Bunch (Fuck Yeah!)
North By Northwest
Catch-22
Fail-Safe
12 Angry Men
To Kill A Mockingbird
High Noon

They DID get Drunken Master II, but hell, for sheer fun - anything with Jackie Chan.

#9  What? No "Umberto D", "Ulysses' Gaze","Leolo", "Mouchette", "Barry Friggin Lyndon" on anybody's list?
This probably looks like John Kerry's DVD collection.
