Good link...
Yeah, where’s The 10 Commandments and The Exorcist?
What the.....?!
Why isn’t “Big Trouble in Little China” on the list?
Raging Bull is overrated in general.
So should “The Defiant Ones”.
It could take “Sophie’s Choice” slot. What a snoozefest!

A great movie from the 50’s is “The Bad Seed.”
Horrifying.
I don't get those either. The Searchers arguably The Dukes best movie to some, The Shootist is my favorite, But it doesn't belong in the top 12.
The biggest loser is The African Queen having lost 48 points...that's just not right.
You beat me to it. Flying Chinese wizards shooting sparks. What more could you want?
Hey and thanks for the link.
I’m multi-tasking now. Rush and here too.
I have only seen 33 of those movies. Seems like a bunch of stuff is missing. Patton and Once Upon a Time in the West among others.
This list is sexist—not enough chick flicks. ;-)
Never saw it, or if I did, don’t remember.
Most of the movies I admire are from the 40’s, 50’s, and sixties.
I’m kinda surprised also that Cleopatra isn’t on there. I think measured in inflation adjusted dollars, it is still the most expensive movie ever made. Liz was as stunning as the sets, which were breathtaking.
And no list is correct without Midnight Cowboy.
And a bunch of anti-Polonist nonsense to boot.
I watch a lot of TMC and AMC. Great stuff. And love the hosts and their information on the films.
Midnight Cowboy gave me the creeps and found it depressing.
Silence of the Lambs and Goodfellas are great chick flicks!
Midnight Cowboy is #43.
Ok...where is Sling Blade??? Love that movie.
What about Convoy?
What a gip!
