Have I just completely missed it or is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid not in that list?

Definitely. I think my total is 5 films from the list. Spinal Tap is definitely NOT the 13th best film ever made.

That's what I've seen from this top 20. How would someone actually go about compiling a list like this? I always have difficulty saying anything is my top of the list item, let alone having to try ranking 100 things to some arbitrary criteria. Mark

As my uncle used to say, "go ahead son, speak your mind, everyone is entitled to voice their opinion. If fact, I would fight for your right to be wrong".  Back on topic, I have seen about 20 of the films in this guy's top 100, and I rate about 10 of them. So, I'm ten times less full of [LIFTED] as he is.

You don't have to be full of [LIFTED] to have an opinion. I wouldn't have all the films he has in a top 100 if I was doing it but that doesn't automatically make his opinion [LIFTED]. Granted, his list could be full of [LIFTED], but his opinion is just as valid as yours. (8+) Mark

Just saw All About Eve a couple of days ago; it's very good but not really a Number 1 choice. At least he hasn't put all the usual suspects in like Shawshank Redemption, 2001, Some Like it Hot, etc.
