Eventually I will revise this list and expand it to make an official top 100. These lists are pretty tough to make. Mine, at least, I know will be subject to change so I appreciate any feed back as it will help me draw closer to a top 100 I feel good about.

Here are a bunch of movies that nearly didn't make the list:

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

The Eiger Sanction


Where Eagles Dare


The Dark Crystal


The Hobbit


Robocop


Dazed an Confused

Animal House

Patton

Apocalypse Now

A Clockwork Orange

Unforgiven

Papillon

Enemy @ the Gates

And many more to come as they come to me...



I love Clint, but I can't stand The Eiger Sanction. Where Eagles Dare is decent, but for only one viewing. I doubt I live long enough to work in time to watch it again.

Great list, though. The first post had many favorites of mine listed.
