IMDB top 50 movies I have seen
Got this idea from another blog while surfing. I would link to the original blog, but I lost the link sorry. The Internet Movie Database compiles a list of the top films of all time based on votes by their visitors. I have highlighted all the ones I've definitely seen all the way through.
1.The Godfather
2.The Shawshank Redemption
3.The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
4.The Godfather: Part II
5.Shichinin no samurai
6.Casablanca
7.Schindler's List
8.Citizen Kane
9.One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
10.Pulp Fiction
11.The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
12.Star Wars
13.The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
14.Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
15.The Usual Suspects
16.Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il
17.Rear Window
18.Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
19.Cidade de Deus
20.Raiders of the Lost Ark
21.12 Angry Men
22.Psycho
23.Memento
24.C'era una volta il West
25.Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, Le
26.Lawrence of Arabia
27.Goodfellas
28.The Silence of the Lambs
29.Sunset Blvd.
30.North by Northwest
31.It's a Wonderful Life
32.American Beauty
33.Apocalypse Now
34.The Matrix
35.Paths of Glory
36.Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
37.Fight Club
38.The Third Man
39.Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi
40.Vertigo
41.Double Indemnity
42.Singin' in the Rain
43.Boot, Das
44.M
45.To Kill a Mockingbird
46.Rashômon
47.Se7en
48.Taxi Driver
49.All About Eve
50.The Bridge on the River Kwai
The list is flexible. Often new movies will suddenly appear in the top twenty or thirty but as time goes on will gradually slip off the scale depending on their long term popularity.
I scored 25, and i've seen big sections of some of the ones I didn't highlight. Considering I have pretty narrow tastes when it comes to films I think I've done pretty well.

Some of the films you haven't seen amaze me SD.
I can recommend the following:
Lord of the rings: The Return of the King (for completeness sake if nothing else, not as good as The Two Towers)
Casablanca (just so you can tell people that the line "Play it again, Sam" is never actually said)
The Usual Suspects (Who is Kaiser Soze?)
Memento (watch it sober though, its a bit of a mindbender)
American Beauty (A startling insight into the american psyche)
Apocalypse Now (watch the redux version though it makes alot more sense with the extra 50 mins)
The Third Man (Intrigue and espionage have never been done better)
Eternal Sunshine...etc (Great performances and great story, simple as that)
Yes it is a bit of a surprise really. I plan on seeing return of the king in the near future.
Many of the ones you list I've probably seen and have forgotten or have seen at least part of the way through.
The ones I highlighted I have definitely seen, probably more than once.
I must admit a few I didn't recognise straight away, such as Eternal Sunshine..., Memento etc. after reading the entry on the IMDB now intrigue me and I'll look out for those in the future.
My performance for 50-100 is even worse I've only seen about 18 of those.
I admit my tastes are somewhat limited. Your interest in different film genre is clearly deeper than mine.
I think I've done pretty well. It would be interesting to know how others would fair on that list.
