Have seen Goodfellas and 2001. Wasn't a big fan of either one at the time, but massively overdue to give both another go. Hopefully this year?

Pulp was one of my toughest omissions from my list. Argue all you want about Quentin's ability to sample from films that have inspired his life.

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 of All-Time Refresh: Countdown

Now would be the time to admit that I don't speak (or read) emoji.

Jaws definitely deserves its place on the list even though I didn't vote for it. Between Quint's speech, the scene where Mrs....

I've still yet to see Blade Runner in full.

From the little snippet I did see, I do get it though. The story looks interesting, the visuals look superb and the soundtrack is very good.

Raiders making it is a pleasant surprise. This callback to the day of serials is well done with memorable characters, lines and scenes. Nice set pieces with the boulder chase, the confrontation...

I'm down to give GoodFellas another shot.

Hook is mid-tier to low-tier Spielberg. Some decent sets and Hoffman was fine. But not essential by any means.

Weirdly enough, I thought the merlot was a double meaning with the alcohol drank in The Thing.
