I watch way too many movies.

You think?

I only counted 36 for me.

Any list that includes Slumdog Millionaire on it is viewed as a "piece o crap" list.

why would that be?

...46...

time to download a boatload of movies....

Even if the list has Star Wars, Bladerunner, JAWS, Blue Velvet, A Clockwork Orange, Videodrome, 2001, Taxi Driver, Vertigo, Pulp Fiction, Apocalypse Now, Metropolis on it? Ooookay

The ones in bold I've seen. Miscounted, I've only seen 52.

I recommend watching Ugetsu monogatari. It's an early Japanese thriller and very nice.

i saw finding nemo

I definitely will!

I was thinking there are movies missing off that list, Bride Of Frankenstein, Nosferatu, Kaidan, Eyes Without A Face...then I thought, we should make a 100 Essential Horror Movie List!

I don't remember seeing it. I have short term memory loss.

Actually, I was thinking the same thing about the list missing some more movies worth noting.

And he*ll yeah, about the horror movie list!

I know! 100 movies, and no where do I see Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers!

OP will come back and slap you for that.

Due to the fact that Slumdog is (at least in my eyes) not that great of a film. And I like Danny Boyle. Just did not care for this film.

Torgo. Sorry, but while the movies you mentioned are truly great, you add in Slumdog and the list just goes to hell. Lol!

I can't take a list like this serious if it doesn't include Howard the Duck. Lame list.........
