    Why not Ben Hur and the Greatest Story Ever Told. Cleopatra wasnt all that bad either.
    Ben Hur needs to be on the list.
    The Fight club and Gostbusters out.

    A decent list, but like all compilations not without some problems. For starters, whassup with all the Edward Norton love? "The Fight Club" ahead of "Raging Bull"? and "American History X" tops "North by Northwest"?
  • Gene Phillips · 2 years ago
    The Great Dictator probably should be in the top 10 as it was innovative and tremendously influential on subsequent directors and people like Mel Brooks and Peter Sellers.
  • Steve S. · 2 years ago
    No "Gone With the Wind"?
  • John · 2 years ago
    List should be called "Most often televised recent movies." Has nothing to do with how good they are, just how often people have seen them. LotR better than On the Waterfront? Ha, ha. Shawshank Redemption in the top 50? Get busy watching more movies or get busy not participating in these polls when you don't know what you're talking about.

    Nosferatu makes the list and Gone With the Wind fails to make the cut?
    PLEASE!

    What is Run Lola Run doing on this list?? I liked it, but to 100? please.

    Some of you seem to have forgotten that "Online Film Critics" most likely will be made up of a ounger demographic than the Roger Eberts of the world. I'd guess that 75% of the participants are age 40 or younger. I'm sure there are many folks like myself that have a hard time enjoying the classics as much as some of the modern greats, as the classics are made somewhat irrelevant over time, either due to the socio-political climate (statement films tend to lose their meaning when people don't remember the meaning - take Fahrenheit 9/11, for example - good as it may be, no new viewer will care all that much about it in 25 years) or the acting/directing style.

    I'd pick Fight Club and Pulp Fiction over most of the classics, too. Just my personal taste - but then again, I'm 30. If I was 60, I'm sure I wouldn't.

    ¨Top 100¨? Or ¨FAVORITE 100¨? There is a big difference.
