^{Eh, 1 out of 3 again for me ... love Requiem for a Dream, like Full Metal Jacket, no real opinion on POTA, but it's okay.}

Planet of the Apes and Requiem.   Full Metal Jacket is my least favourite Kubrick film. 

[JarJarBinks]

Glad to see Almost Famous and Requiem for a Dream on the list.  Both are just outside my top 100.

I have not see 92 yet.  I am glad Blade Runner made the list.  I am not a fan of Lebowski.

Why have I not seen Once Upon a Time in the West? I only have one movie from top 50 list I submitted but Almost Famous would have been in my top 100 and so would Blade Runner.
