#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.

#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
Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman
Seven Samurai
Cowboy Bebop
Enter The Dragon

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

#13 I'd add Open Range and True Grit to the list if westerns weren't overrepresented (like French flix)

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

Also, there is no list without the "Wild Bunch".

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

#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!

#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.

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

#22 I missed Searchers. I guess I have to take back my disgust. But they did leave out 2001 A Space Odessey.

#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.

#26 They have drunken master and finding nemo on there but not "Patton?" Best Picture 1973 and can't even crack the top 100 in this silly assed list? WTF!?

Bridge Over the River Kwai
Cross of Iron
Apocalypse Now
Excalibur
The Great Escape
Cool Hand Luke
The Shawshank Redemption
Enter the Dragon
The Mechanic
Das Boat
All the early Bond flicks w/Connery
Any Clint western for obvious reasons.
