How many of these DVDs do you own? I own 43

*ahem* Purple Rose of Cairo *ahem*

Edit - Geofferson beat me to it.

T.I.M.E.? Since when is the "Time" in "Time Magazine" an acronym?

My error, nothing starring Woody Allen like Annie Hall, Sleeper, Bananas

No mention of Goodburger or Weekend at Bernie's????

Actually surprised that Gladiator didn't make the cut.

I'm also surprised that Unforgiven made it. To me that movie is WAY over-rated. I recently bought it and to me, Open Range is a much better western.

Interesting picks, some I'm quite tickled to see, but the entire list is torpedoed into utter uselessness by the omission of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY which, even if you don't agree with me that it's THE greatest film of all time, should be guaranteed inclusion on any top 100 list worth its mettle...

What sort of extras can we expect to see from this Time list?

T.I.M.E. ?!?

The Idiots Missed EXORCIST?

I own 43 but that list sucks. E.T. c'mon? That movie sucks. Why won't anyone admit it?

No silly, we all know Citizen Kane is the greatest film of all time. Why bother arguing this when every list in the world includes it as their #1 film.

I just wanted to say that I tried to come up with a clever T.I.M.E. acronym and failed miserably.

I rule supreme! Bow before me and swear your allegiance!

33.

Hmmm... no Vertigo? The list is automatically invalid.

I own 7 of those mentioned.

Exactly this list is crap!!! Look at all the left out classics; 2001, Vertigo, Gone With the Wind, The Maltese Falcon, All About Eve, North by Northwest, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Wizard of Oz, Sunset Boulevard, The Grapes of Wrath, Duck Soup, Rear Window and the list goes on and on. And please tell me it's a joke but The Fly and Drunken Master II are choosed? What the f***?!?! Purple Rose of Cairo choosed over Annie Hall and Manhattan? And look at the foreign titles, they didn't even include The Rules of the Game, Battleship Potemkin and La Dolce Vita!!! Are the people who made this list even qualified as movie experts?

I own 6, and one of those is the LOTR trilogy.

No Fargo or Jaws.

I fess up to having 43 =)

While there are a goodly amount of glaring omissions, this is still a pretty good list of movies. It really seems like a sampler of directors mixed in with some of the critics's personal favoriates over a strict Top 100 list.

Movie I was most shocked to see in the list: Detour (probably the noirest noir of them all, and a personal guilty pleasure).

Looks to me like they purposely tried to pick more odd-ball choices just to be different. Barry Lyndon over 2001, E.T. over Jaws or Raiders, Miller's Crossing over Fargo, In a Lonely Place over The Maltese Falcon or Treasure of Sierra Madre, Detour over Sunset Boulevard...you have to do something different to get attention, I guess.

But it's an opinion list, and it got me thinking about it, which they said was what they wanted, so more power to them.

Where the hell is Double Impact?
