Man I suck….only seen 16 of these films and I know most here gonna blow this list up….

Pretty good list but obviously there's gonna be films missing from it that some would argue should be on there but narrowing a list down to a top 100 if all American Films is a pretty crazy undertaking…

How did y'all score?

37 for me, although a few that I haven't seen are books or plays that I have read.

Seen 50 of the 100 here

56

But the list is suspect. For example, Platoon caught my eye. Good movie, but definitely not top 100. Where tf is Raiders of the Lost Ark?

ETA: Thanks - I see it now

66?

Interesting list. I've seen 54 of those flicks, some more worthy than others.

48

49. Surprised to see a lot of films from the 1920s here. Also surprised - and pleased - to see a Marx brothers film on here!

59

There are some debatable choices on that list. Titanic? meh. Not a big fan of Sophie's Choice, Tootsie, or The Sixth Sense either.

I got into a huge classic phase sometime in college, and used the original list as a jumping off point, so I have seen all from that one and this one, and actually got a decent way through the nominees list (did a quick look on the site, not sure if they have it anymore, unfortunately). Believe I finished the comedies and thrillers lists as well, but can't remember, been quite a while.

There's a bunch I should probably go back and rewatch at this point. Some because I don't remember, others because it's been too long, and at least a couple that I didn't like back then than I might change my mind on now that I'm older.

29

72. I watched a lot of movies before I had kids. Now that I'm within 5 years of having them both off the payroll, I'm guessing I'll start watching a lot more.

32 out of the top 100
4 out of the top 10

31

Most recent movie is from 2001, yikes

47 for me

36. I need to get cracking.

39

31

And Citizen Kane does not belong on that list, let alone #1. That movie sucks.

61

38 and maybe a couple of more that I can't remember if I had seen or not.

90

Only 32. Need to get after a lot of these.

64. I too have not seen some of the older movies.

52

Surprisingly, 65 for me, and large portions of probably a dozen more over the years though I didn't count them. A few might be critical classics but are just uninteresting to me.

I've only seen 14 or 15 out of 100.

46. Not bad. I thought that I would be lower due to the glorification of artsy BS and self-aggrandizing Hollywood fart sniffing films (i.e. The Oscars), but there wasn't too much of that. The ones I haven't seen seem to be movies that I may actually want to see.

For anyone interested in the differences between the one linked and the initial list they did 10 years before, there were a bunch of changes. Wuthering Heights is one that sticks out to me as the only one from either list that I outright hated, that movie was so ****ing boring.

Would be interesting to see what would get added and dropped if they did it again today. Honestly, just using Best Picture Academy Awards as a jumping off point, I don't know that anything really stands out to me as having that kind of staying power, but you obviously never know.
