And, the download is designed to be used as a checklist for your own "100 Movies" viewing. Enjoy!

There's been a lot of movement in 10 years. 23 new movies that never made the original list in 1997, surprisingly a lot of them are silent movies, surprising to me at least. Huge double digit up and down movements in well established classics, especially in the top 12.

[NCC-1701]

“Godzilla” didn’t make the list? Geeesh, the vote was rigged.

How could “Chariots of Fire” fail to make the Top 100?

[Vision]

“Do the right thing” is above “Ben-Hur”. Yea, right.

[Vision]

Jaws should be on this list.

25!

[Vision]

My mistake. Jaws is.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Top 400 nominations.

BenHur should be top 20. Easy.

Jaws lost 8 points

Titanic?

And for animated films I’d go for “Monsters, Inc.” over “Toy Story”.

[Vision]

“Do the right thing” is on there for PC reasons only.

[weegee]

Toy Story in the top 100?
whatever. I wouldn’t even rank it among the top 25 animated films of all time. Disney’s “Victory Through Air Power” (which is available on DVD) was more influential and a better use of craft.

They also seem to really really like Redford and Scorcese and the 1970s.

[Vision]

“A Christmas Story” should be on there.

Also “The Caine Mutiny.”

[Clint N. Suhks]

And for animated films I’d go for “Monsters, Inc.” over “Toy Story”.

There was a lot of short sightedness there. From Disney to Pixar there are too many that should be represented...Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Shrek to Fantasia.

Where’s “Patton”?

[Clint N. Suhks]

I don’t see The Natural, Babe or Full Metal Jacket either.

Raging Bull is way too high IMO.

[Soliton]

Mary Poppins?

[Skooz]

BenHur should be top 20. Easy.

Indeed. Top 10.
