I've seen 92 of the Modern List and 90 of the all-time list. I'm sure there's someone that's seen all of them.

Seen 92 on the modern list (anchorman being one of the ones I haven't seen so I guess I can't judge it), and 97 on the other.
For being a list, the modern list isn't terrible, at least by my taste. A lot of my favorites on there.

Re: Yahoo's top 100 modern movies to see before you die
I've seen 61 the films. Pretty good list.
Well, Wall-E was pretty much universally adored, though I didn't like it quite as much as seemingly everyone else on the planet. I would've swapped it out for The Incredibles or Up.
And that's the only year on the list where I didn't see any of their selections. Because of that I can't comment on their "worthiness", but perusing Wikipedia's list of '02 films, it wasn't that great of a year for movies. I'd put in maybe 24 Hour Party People, 28 Days Later, About a Boy, and/or The Bourne Identity (though there's already a Bourne film on the list, this is my favorite. Using a tripod FTW!)
It's one of my favorite comedies from the '00s.

Yikes. Anchorman is the worst from the list and in recent years. Glad to see Lola Rennt getting some attention.

Re: Yahoo's top 100 modern movies to see before you die
Can we all agree that there have been enough lists of things to do or see "before you die". You're not actually going to get to these things "after" you die, are you? Isn't it enough to just say these are great movies to be seen? Why the stupid "before you die" phrase?
