34 for me. And if you've honestly seen all of them, you're my hero. I wanna get into movies so I try to watch the classics and stuff, but I have a family to share my netflix queue with.

20. Most of them I find too depressing to even give them a try. I hate depressing films and avoid them like the plague. I watch movies to have a good time and be awestruck. If I want to be depressed, I'll just have a talk with my dad!

But my favorites on that list are the Spielberg ones. E.T, Jaws, Close Encounters with the Third Kind, the Indiana Jones movies, and George Lucas's Star Wars (though I found the Empire Strikes Back to be the better film.)

I've seen about 6 the entire way through(Schindler's List, Star Wars, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Forrest Gump,). I don't watch an entire movie if I don't like it. I've seen bits and pieces of a lot of them, but I thought they were utter sh*t, so I never finished them.

Man, I've got a lot of watching to do if I want to see the enitre list. I've only seen:

6 The Wizard of Oz 1939
15 Star Wars 1977
25 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial 1982
42 Rear Window 1954
49 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 1937
55 The Sound of Music 1965
56 M*A*S*H 1970
71 Forrest Gump 1994
83 Platoon 1986

I honestly didn't like "The Godfather" all that much, but I was about 10 when I first saw it. Not really the best age to watch something like that.

I'm a huge film geek and I study film at school. It's pretty hard to not see most of these films.

No it shouldn't. Halloween is one of my favorite films (I assume you're talking about the original), but I can think of atleast 100 more films I would add to that last before Halloween.

Yup, the original. Haven't seen the remake and I'm not planning to.

Ok, I can't even think of one ;P

But I don't watch a lot of film... Even though films are one of my biggest interests... Weird... But whatever :S :P

hmm, thats only 15 (I have seen some of the others, but hated them). This was a really bad list, so many over-rated films... what were they going by? Certainly not excitement...

And to anyone who hasn't seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: Watch this friggin movie, it's so damn good, introspective, and hilairious.

Out of those 100 films I've apperantly seen 43 of em. E.T was the first movie I ever saw in theatre. I was 2.

Many of those films I saw at school namely: Yankee Doodle Dandy, Patton, Schindler's List, and Grapes of Wrath.

Interesting list. And out of all those I've seen I love Unforgiven, E.T, Dances With Wolves, American Graffiti, MASH, and Wizard of Oz the most.

So there you go. I can't explain my taste in films. Some have that charisma that draws me in to watch it over and over, but most on that list I found of no interest or jsut dull and un-entertaining. I'd like to know what scale they use to make the (best 100) list.

I'm guessing you also have a pretty impressive movie library.

Eh, it's not that big compared to some. It's all I can afford with my current financial situation(college student), but it gets me by. My "want" list is almost as big as my collection.

I've seen 37 of those films...

And I agree, many of them ARE overrated. But one thing I think they all have in common is that, one way or another, they had some significant impact on either the culture or did something groundbreaking in the history of cinema.

How recent is this list, by the way?

I bolded out my beloved ones out of this list.

Where the hell is "American Beauty"? I love that movie.

I wonder if "Schindler's List" really is that awesome as they say. Never watched it and it's pretty high on the list.

Schindler's List is an ok movie. Not really a top priority on the must see films. It's mostly in Black and White except for the little girl in the red dress.

I thought it was from this year, but looking back at it, I think it's the old one because some more recent films (LOTR, Saving Private Ryan) are absent.
