This list is officially dope in my book , even if number one turns out to be Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. We have many many favs in common so I'll watch every film from this list that I haven't seen yet. My guess for the number one spot.. Constantine.

All these awesome movies that you get to experience new and fresh for the first time. Jealousy.

An odd near ending to your list for me. Casablanca is good (the script is really good) and I like it, but I've never gotten the love for it. Heat I like watching a lot more than I think it's good. Watchmen I saw once. It's not my kind of thing and, again, I really didn't see/get what was so great/good about it. I don't really remember much about it.

Now, bring on Charlie's Angels (seeing as you got Jaws way too low.)

Full throttle?

Even I don't have Full Throttle in my 100. But, yeah, bring it on! Which is also a good film.

but first...

The Tree of Life / 2011 / dir. Terrence Malick

Eyes Without a Face / 1960 / dir. Georges Franju

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp / 1943 / dir. Emeric Pressburger & Michael Powell

The Magnificent Ambersons / 1942 / dir. Orson Welles

Island of Lost Souls / 1932 / dir. Erle C. Kenton

Generally like the picks I've seen - Watchmen at #2 is another choice that I capital-R Respect, plus if I'm remembering the rest of the list correctly this means Christine is your favourite Carpenter which is interesting.

I believe The Thing made an appearance earlier, but Christine is one that even Carpenter guys won't seem to fully commit to. The WATCHMEN acceptance is also much appreciated.

I stand corrected. I think Christine gets that treatment because it exists at such a remove from other Carpenters with its extensive approach to time (most of his movies take place over a week at most while this one happens over several months) that feels very different to his much more economical and compressed narratives.

Nice honorable mention picks

I'm curious what your #1 film will be.

I've never even thought about that. You're right. Folks always seem in love with his other more notable flicks (which there is nothing wrong with that), I felt like this one gets overlooked most times.

coughs

Wow, forgot about this thread.
