I've only seen Trainspotting :( and I haven't even heard of the others.

I don't doubt it will include all the usual films though.

Usual Suspects,
Shawshank Redemption,
E.T.,
At least one of the Star Wars films,
Close Encounters,

Hmm... wonder what else?

::EDIT:: Just remembered, I've never seen Trainspotting :(

Hmm, there are some interesting films in there, but I wouldn't class many of them as "best ever" material, let alone top 100... :?

Perhaps I'm reading too much into this, but...

Spike Milligan wrote a Goon Show called The Fear of Wages at about the same time, obviously as a pun on the film.
The Goon Show also starred Peter Sellers.
Peter Sellers is perhaps most famous for creating a character called Clouseau...

Does anyone see the links?

I've only seen Picnic at Hanging Rock, but not all the way through. I was so bored by it.

I've seen six of them, but I don't think any of these would make my Top 100 or even Top 200.

Expect a rant if I don't see my favourite films in there.

I've only seen 5 so far, should be an interesting list :D

3 for me so far - quite interested to see how this pans out if the obscure titles appearing in the list are anything to go by.

Oh and in all seriousness, this is one of the greatest films of all time. Helped me get a module in World Cinema a few years back.

If Stephen King describes it as the scariest movie he's ever seen.....and it's based on a true story.....you know it has to be good.

I've only saw Trainspotting and Unforgiven from that list - tried watching Mean Streets but found it boring at the time, would give it another go however...
