Well by my reckoning Ive seen 53 of those (and enjoyed about 40). These lists are always subjective - Im surprised “HArd days night” is on (its a good film, but not a great one) and Im surprised “Gone with the Wind” isnt.

Can't stand that one: unwatchable.

What about an epic - ‘The Ten Commandments’? I am still convinced that if I go to heaven, I’ll find that Moses will look exactly like Charleton Heston.

What about the ‘The Blues Brothers’?

I've seen all but one, Toy Story.

It's a good list but where's the truly iconoc western? The Searchers is there but it's a revenge story set in the west, not a true western like Shane or High Noon. A spaghetti western (GBU)and a half-a-homo man love story (Butch) don't cut it.

Only one noir?

No Astair/Rogers? No Busby Berkley? These depression era films were vastly popular as the first examples of Escape movies.

No pre-code movie?btw

One silent (and it's German). Where's Griffith? Where are the incredible Russians from the silent era?

btw...Hard Days Night does belong for both cultural and technigue reasons. Spinelli invented the music video with this movie.
