Think I've seen all but 2 of those...
Again, for me, a bit hit and miss, but definitely some quality in there.

Hmm, of todays, I've seen: And heard of: I'm quite keen to get to the top of the list, I'm currently feeling like a bit of a philistine  _________________The Official "Saucy Minx"  This above all: To Thine Own Self Be True "Red sky at night, Shepherds Delight"..Which is a bit like Shepherds Pie, but with whipped topping instead of mashed potato.

Blue Velvet is the sole one on that list I've seen. I am aware there are some very good films on it that I simply haven't got around to watching.

Again, not sure how many would go in my personal Top 100. Maybe Alien (and I hope Aliens is in the top 20) and Casablanca.

The Appartment is one of my all time favourtite films. I love anything that Billy Wilder does and Shirley MacClaine is one of my favourtite actresses. I was lucky enough to see her on stage in the early 80s. She did a one woman show doing scenes from her films and lots of singing and dancing. As for Jack Lemmon, wow he's was just brilliant. They don't make them like the used to. And of course Raging Bull was amazing. When I first saw it I had to trawl through the information on IMDB.com and lap up all the quotes. The fact that De Niro and Joe Pesci improvised so many scenes made the film feel so real. Brilliant stuff. _________________Still the official cheeky one

Now, don't get me wrong, I like that film, but 13th best film ever made? He should have renamed this this "a list of films I chose, coz I think it makes me look cultured" I agree wholeheartedly.
