Gonna try to check out at least five of these before submitting the final version of my list. Any suggestions?

Raging Bull, Third Man, Wild Bunch, Once Upon a Time in America, Ran, Night of the Living Dead, Walkabout, Repulsion, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, Right Stuff, Lost in Translation, Das Boot, Forbidden Planet, Memories of Murder, Year of Living Dangerously, Abyss, Day of the Jackal
 

[Blankments]

I'll post my list soon. In an effort to have a varied number of years on my list, I'll only allow five representatives of each year. Also will only allow movies released before May 12, 2015, so adequate time has passed.

There are two kinds of listmakers in this world my friend, those who meticulously compile their's together, and those who scramble to fill one out at the last minute. You go scramble.

Can some one please give me links to the previous "top 100 films of the forums" countdown threads

I know it is all old and black and white and stuff, but can everyone please finally get around to watching Casablanca so that it doesn't crawl in at an embarrassing 47th place like it usually does.

I saw about 30 mintues of it a few years ago. even if i did watch it, it is incredibly unlikely it would make my top 100. Just like Citizen Kane is one of the most overrated pretentious films I've ever seen. even Metropolis which I really liked a lot wouldn't make my top 100.
