Yahoo's Top 100 Movies

Yahoo has come up with a list of 100 movies to see before you die. I don't agree with all of their list but it is interesting. I just don't know what made them think some of them were Top 100. I’ve bolded the ones that I’ve seen.

To choose the titles for the list, we considered factors like historical importance and cultural impact. But we also selected films that we believe are the most thrilling, most dramatic, scariest, and funniest movies of all time.
