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.

[Warhorse]

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.)

[Peanut]

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.

[Spitfire]

3 The Godfather 1972
4 Gone with the Wind 1939
6 The Wizard of Oz 1939
15 Star Wars 1977
25 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial 1982
28 Apocalypse Now 1979
29 Mr. Smith Goes to Washington 1939
32 The Godfather Part II 1974
46 A Clockwork Orange 1971
47 Taxi Driver 1976
48 Jaws 1975
49 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 1937
58 Fantasia 1940
59 Rebel Without a Cause 1955
60 Raiders of the Lost Ark 1981
64 Close Encounters of the Third Kind 1977
67 The Manchurian Candidate 1962
83 Platoon 1986
84 Fargo 1996
94 Goodfellas 1990
95 Pulp Fiction 1994

Not alot but I don't watch many older movies, I like sound effects and music. I do want to see Dr. Strangelove though.

[Ra]

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.

[JaffleMan]

Only 17 for me, and of those I only own one on DVD.


5 Lawrence of Arabia 1962
6 The Wizard of Oz 1939
9 Schindler's List 1993
15 Star Wars 1977
18 Psycho 1960

25 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial 1982
45 A Streetcar Named Desire 1951
46 A Clockwork Orange 1971
56 M*A*S*H 1970
60 Raiders of the Lost Ark 1981

65 The Silence of the Lambs 1991
71 Forrest Gump 1994
72 Ben-Hur 1959
77 American Graffiti 1973
84 Fargo 1996


Not really that much of a TV/movie person to be honest.

I've seen all of them.

Wow that's insane.
I'm guessing you also have a pretty impressive movie library.

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

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.

8 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 1937
9 M*A*S*H 1970
10 Raiders of the Lost Ark 1981
11 Vertigo 1958
12 The Silence of the Lambs 1991
13 Forrest Gump 1994
14 Ben-Hur 1959
15 Rocky 1976
16 My Fair Lady 1964

and some of these I've only seen chunks of. I've seen bits of others on the list, but not enough to consider it a viewing. so only 16. I don't care to see a lot of them, others I do, but I tend to watch "so bad their funny" films.
