Psycho
Wizard of Oz

that's very very very sad

NEUMANN

I always look at the AFI top 100 american movies and have 51 of those, on your list i have 27

atari2600

um...i dont own any!

i never even heard of half of these!

i dont like this list

garmonbozia

of the ones available on dvd in R1, I got these 88.

I got Un Chien Andalou on vhs still too.

the big train

I have these 11

1. Citizen Kane (Welles/1941/Warner)
7. The Godfather Part II (Coppola/1974/Paramount)
8. Seven Samurai (Kurosawa/1954/Criterion)
14. Lawrence of Arabia (Lean/1962/Columbia TriStar)
15. The Godfather (Coppola/1972/Paramount)
43. Casablanca (Curtiz/1942/Warner)
43. Third Man (Reed/1949/Criterion)
55. North by Northwest (Hitchcock/1959/Warner)
65. Rear Window (Hitchcock/1954/Universal)
95. His Girl Friday (Hawks/1940/Columbia TriStar)
95. Notorious (Hitchcock/1946/Criterion/Anchor Bay OOP)

I suppose the list means something to me since I took the time to actually list those titles which I own. Besides that, the list means absolutely nothing to me because I decide what is a great movie. In fact, the way I would rank these would be somewhat reversed. Then again, I'm not a "Film Scholar."

DVDude!

Same for me--only three of the ones listed:

Some Like It Hot
The Wizard of Oz
Pulp Fiction

I do like "crappy" movies (horror, sci-fi, indie, etc.), but I would have probably five or six more of them if my girlfriend hadn't insisted that she buy them for her collection (It's a Wonderful Life, Psycho, North by Northwest and Rear Window are the ones that come to mind). Although we live together (for five years), we keep our DVDs separate.

Mondo Kane

10 (I'm ashamed)

Kane
2001
Godfather 1 & 2
7 Samurai
Taxi
Clockwork
Pulp
Once/America
Apocalypse

I've come this close to buying Satyricon,Third Manand Seventh Seal though.

Cornelius1047

Don't feel bad. I only own 3 as well.

Pulp Fiction
A Clockwork Orange
It's A Wonderful Life

Used to have Psycho, To Kill A Mockingbird, Taxi Driver and City Lights but they were all sold off when I was tight for cash. Will probably pick up the first two again, and eventually City Lights (along some other Chaplin titles, some of which are on the list) when it gets its much-deserved 2-disc treatment. I wish it came with the first wave like it was supposed to. Then again, I might not have gotten $55 for the OOP disc then.

El-Kabong

Otherwise known as "A bunch of film snobs got together and had a circle jerk over their Art".

Pfft! Whatever - there are some films that have no business being within a hundred miles of a 'best of' list. And some obivous exclusions that need to be here. But, what the hell - I'll play along:

In my collection, you'll find:
Citizen Kane
Vertigo
2001: A Space Odyssey
Seven Samurai
Rashomon
Battleship Potemkin The Public Domain version from Total Movie.
Lawrence of Arabia
Psycho
The General Again - the total movie boxed set.
Casablanca
Metropolis
North by Northwest Have it on LD, havent upgraded.
Rear Window
Ran Ditto to the laser comment.

GMLSKIS

Not a list of movies that I care for especially since Clockwork Orange is one of the choices. Proud to only own two of those.



64. The Wizard of Oz (Fleming/1939/Warner)
65. Pulp Fiction (Tarantino/1994/Miramax)

Only 16

RevKarl

Own 77, another 6 (3 OOP) on my want list.

And while this is one "Best Films" poll I respect (unlike similar surveys done here in the U.S., the voters in the S&S poll actually have some knowledge of film history...plus, their names and choices are made public,) I won't buy a DVD for a film I don't like just because it's on this list... but, then again, I might give a film I haven't seen a look because it is on the S&S list.

lisadoris

I own 7 with a couple more on my wish list. Lists like this whether it's AFI or Sight and Sound aren't all that meaningful for me in terms of what to buy. I'll check out lists like this and rent one or two that I haven't seen or heard of before but that's really the extent of their usefulness.

marty888

45 ...so far.

boston george

PalmerJoss
