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.
