63. As in every list of this kind, I miss some movies that IMHO should have been included, and one or two that... well, let's just say that they are controversial. National Lampoon's Animal House? If I have to watch it before I die, I'm worried about enthropy killing the Universe before I buy the farm.

And I will never understand why 'Saving Private Ryan' is so highly valued, only the very first minutes, the landing, are any good; the rest is eminently forgetable. Any 'Band of Brothers' episode, for example, is far better than SPR. And 'Band of Brothers' is a TV series...

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

Amen.  Animal House definitely belongs.  Room should have been made for Caddy Shack too.

Some are awful.
I'm not going to count. I've seen a lot of them though.

And Band a part > all the other pretentious French crap they mention.

Only 41.   And I probably ought to see some of those again--I haven't seen some of them in more than 30 years, and even some of the ones made since then, I haven't seen since they first came out (f.e., Blue Velvet--hard to believe that it's been 23 years since it was released).

I can't believe that was on the list... it was entertaining, creepy and fucked up, but I don't know that I consider it to be a "great film".  If the list makers insist on a David Lynch film, and they probably did due to the creepy and fucked-up qualities of his films, Eraserhead would have been a better choice.

So sad.  If only you had seen Animal House.

Probably because Spartacus is a mediocre movie despite the spiffy presentation of the Roman Maniples.
