30--- 21. Batman Begins- 780

Those are the only ones that made my top 100.


31--- 15. Hoop Dreams- 845 (I just saw it last weekend - it should probably be higher but I don't want to have to redo my Top 100)


These got consideration for my list, but didn't make it:

32--- 46. The Lion King- 514 (honorable mention for me)
33--- 2. Do the Right Thing- 1851 (honorable mention)
34--- 38. Toy Story- 584 (honorable mention)
35--- 10. No Country For Old Men- 998 (almost made it)
36--- 45. Casino- 523 (got cut)
37--- 20. The Incredibles- 790 (got cut)
38--- 44. Pan’s Labyrinth- 529 (got cut)


Didn't even get consideration for my list:

39--- 41. Miller’s Crossing- 552 (good, but not THIS good)
40--- 43. Aliens- 544 (haven't seen it in so long it's hard to say)
41--- 31. Boogie Nights- 668 (see Miller's Crossing)
42--- 48. Anchorman- 501 (funny but very uneven - requires multiple viewings to really enjoy, which is a negative IMO)
43--- 18. Rushmore- 827 (liked it, but didn't get the hype - but it's been a long time)


And these I didn't really like very much:
44--- 30. Children of Men- 670 (not that great)
45--- 50. This is Spinal Tap- 499 (just saw it last weekend - not as good as advertised)
46--- 32. There Will Be Blood- 664 (great acting, SUPER boring and lame)
47--- 7. Fargo- 1170 (I didn't like it and couldn't finish it - which is REALLY rare for me - maybe I should give it another chance?)



I haven't seen these so they're not included:
5. Malcolm X- 1220 (yeah, I know - it's on my queue)
16. Unforgiven- 836
24. Schindler’s List- 751 (keep meaning to see, but I know it's gonna be a downer)
