I see Mulholland Dr as top tier Lynch but that wasn't enough to be a contender for my ballot. It may have made my top 100, but not ahead of Triangle.

There Will Be Blood was low on my ballot, but...

Didn't care much for Eternal Sunshine when I watched it years ago. Been meaning to give it another shot since I've become more tolerant of goofy characters.

Have not seen Return of the King. I'd be willing to try the first movie again and watch the whole trilogy if I could get into the right frame of mind and I had the time.

I very much enjoy Memento every time I watch it, but I never think as highly of it in retrospect.

In the Mood for Love didn't do much for me but I've only seen it once.

I've seen Amelie 2 times, 2 times too many.

I've seen The Fellowship of the Ring, and that's the main reason I haven't seen Two Towers, Three Towers, or any friggin Towers.

I haven't seen Infernal Affairs yet but the reason I love The Departed has little to do with the story. It's the characters and dialogue.
