Love to hear your omissions.

And as for absolute shit? Yeah, there's Andy Warhol on there.



There’s Toy Story 1-4 on there and Star Wars Force awakens, but for popular films it doesn’t have the incredibles, no Star Trek (perhaps include ii), few/no bond films (Casino Royale?), few Miyazakis (Nausicaa, Mononoke), not many Tarantinos (hateful 8), not too many Burtons (Batman 2, Big Fish, Sleepy Hollow). Is there any Indiana Jones? Could include Starship Troopers.


Sharing some in my all-time top ratings which are not in the list (would be cool if other folks shared some of theirs as well):

- Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022): Newer than the cutoff date of the list.

- Your Name (2016): I'm not usually a fan of Anime but this newer film hit different.

- Sunshine (2007): This one I know I consider far better than most do, but it's one of my favorite variants on this kind of story for some reason. Also Cillian Murphy is my favorite actor in the modern era.

All 3 of these happen to be from after the original 2003 book from Steven Jay Schneider as well (though they aren't in the newer list either). I find he did a really good job of covering the classics, but I'm sure if I dug through my top 100 I'd hit something older I liked a lot that didn't make the cut. I'm just too lazy to :D


"One, Two, Three" (1961) is Cold War comedy gold.

"A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" (1945) is a real tear-jerker even 70 years later.


One, Two, Three was great! I hadn't heard of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, added to the watch list for sure. Thanks


Just a few:

Kin Dza Dza.

Tomorrow I will wake up and scald myself with tea.

Big trouble in Little China.

My neighbour Totoro.


Hey now... Flesh for Frankenstein is a fun weird mess, at least.
