Ending the video with The Seventh Seal and having the footage used being "It is finished." is genius.

[@aspfproductions]

Thanks! Glad you noticed that little detail.

[@aaronfletcher8745]

@@aspfproductions I just watched it for the first time a couple days ago, so it's fresh on my mind.

[@michaelsamerdyke108]

Wonderful montage. Fifty-seven of these are on my list, but I really enjoyed how you put these together. Wonderful job.

[@paulshawley6490]

That's well put together and a solid list - I enjoyed trying to name the film before the title came up. I was pleased to see The Artist in there, and many of my favourites.

[@jonlanier_]

I'm glad you clarified this was your favorites list. Some of those I agree with and some I don't, but that is why there are so many diverse films and tastes out there. I would not have put Oppenheimer on my list. With the back and forth in time and some assumptions of conversations, I found it boring. But, since nothing else came out last year worth much... it'll be the best picture of the year. I would have replaced it with Sisu. My two favorite movies of all time are Rocky and Casablanca. I would have thrown up a Rita Hayworth movie as well.

[@millerlynn8379]

Great list! I especially appreciate you including Dr Zhivago, The African Queen, Judgment at Nuremberg, and some others which are too often overlooked. David Lean is my favorite director, and Alfred Hitchcock is right behind him, so glad they are well represented. There are a few here, like Mirror, I'll have to look for. I've seen almost all, own most! Of course, there are some I'd exchange for others (musicals for example) but personal preferences always come into it.

[@56music64]

Great list, a few I can think of which I would like to add are: Shawshank Redemption, Sunrise: a song of two humans (1927), Network, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Up and another which I just watched again recently which does not make these lists very often, but is an absolutely brilliant ensemble movie is, Glengarry Glen Ross with Pacino, Lemmon, Baldwin, Arkin, Harris, Spacey and Pryce

[@ohcanada8084]

Excellent compilation of films from different genres which entertained us throughout the years. ❤❤

[@sensitivedogs]

What an immersive and impressive choice. I own all these movies except STALKER & INSIDE/OUT, which I've seen and SACRIFICE, which I've never seen but been trying to find a beautiful blu ray transfer! 90 percent of the movies you chose are on my outstanding list and 10 percent on my exceptional or great list. It's incredible!

[@phillipsheppard5361]

Extremely good list, it’s hard to name all the great movies that have come out. That said, I would’ve included Raging Bull, Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Giant, The 10 Commandments, Psycho, Rebel Without a Cause, Apocalypse Now, Godfather 2, Saving Private Ryan, Philadelphia, Goodfellas and Rocky.

[@sensitivedogs]

Totally agree!

[@sensitivedogs]

Your list is impressive as well.. I own all of them!

[@karllieck9064]

The Last Emperor, Wizard of Oz, Amedeus, Society of the Snow, The Exorcist, Soapdish, My Fair Lady, Bram Stoke's Dracula, Tate Danielle, The Others, Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf, The Godfather II, A Streetcar Name Desire, Nosferatu- Hertzog director, Klaus Kinski actor...

[@RodM.Peters]

Fantastic to see many 1940's and 50's classics that other reviewers simply shun because they're "old black and white stuff".

[@randyacuna5643]

I could not agree with you more , old black and white and 3 strip technicolor movies made in the 1930s 1940s and 1950s was ( in my view) the true classic period. Even today, there will always be talent , but not the stage training that actors had in those days. CGI today has killed the human element in movies. The technical aspects are missing, example, 1955s This Island Earth, very well done by technical artists, now it would be just CGI used today. Ouch! Too many great B&W movies are just overlooked. The last 40 years or so cannot match the saying of " they don't make them like they use too". We have no John Barrymore or Paul Muni or Boris Karloff.

[@TheTonyahawk]

Damn good list!

[@alexandrerangel6614]

A lista of 100 favorite films without any of Charles Chaplin...strange.

[@shellyharry8189]

Great list! I would add The Dirty Dozen, Marty, True Grit, and In the Heat of the Night!

[@larrymrobinson1051]

What about King Kong (1933) one of the most influential movies of all time!

[@akaisenpaitsubakihiganbana6706]

background music is awesome.

[@johnw706]

I have never compiled such a list , but many of your choices would definitely be on it . Mine would also include films such as : The Good , The Bad & the Ugly Out of the Past Mediterraneo The Maltese Falcon Educating Rita One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Do The Right Thing Apocalypse Now The Lives of Others Box of Moonlight La Femme Nikita Death at a Funeral ( UK version ) to name a few . Thanks !!

[@JuanFernandez-jr2wz]

In this list Truffaut, The sound of music, Astaire and Rogers, Chaplin, Buster Keaton, spanish movies, Renoir and others are missing.

[@riccardoangeli802]

L' asso nella manica Billy Wilder ...C'era una volta il West Sergio Leone .... Il Padrino 2..... Aguirre Furore di Dio Herzogh .... Accattone Pasolini

[@MarvinJBush]

Of course, anyone who sees this list will think, "Well, why wasn't this one or this one or that one on the list"? And I am no different. I have certain extraordinary films in my memory -- especially for their time. One film I'd like to see on the list is "Forbidden Planet".

[@samuelriemer5720]

One of the best science fiction films of all time.

[@MarvinJBush]

@@samuelriemer5720 My man!!

[@wojciechchmura4903]

My list would be similar. I would definitely include Manuscript found in Saragossa

[@Sunflower-sh6ys]

Great list, but Touch of evil, 1958, and The downfall, 2004, should be on it.

[@dayceem]

I'm guessing a Jimmy Stewart fan. :) Good list, though it could go on for another hundred including more-contemporary movies. My only beef is with Dunkirk which, except for the perspective twists, I found rather run-of-the-mill.

[@cristinochigioni6047]

And Charlie Chaplin?

[@JamesLee-hr3oi]

Agree with many on your list...but can't understand, no Cohen Brothers or David Lynch?!?

[@lilyarmitage4168]

I would also include: The Hunt with Mafs Mikkelsen Far from the Maddibg Crowd with Carey Mulligan and My Cousin Rachel with Sam Clafin. I could add many more; Saltburn would also be there as would Saturday Night Fever.

[@barbjs2000]

Would like to have a written list of

[@13APM]

Missing - Kurosawa's Rashomon. My ATF. Ernst Lubitsch's Ninotchka- Fred Zinneman's- A man for all seasons (8 Academy Awards) Charles Jarrot's -Anne of the thousand days. Above random list More on recall

[@marcdelente2456]

Des grands classiques incontournables de l histoire du 7ème arts que je possède dans ma Dvdtheque. je suis cinéphile depuis ma tendre enfance et est travaillé dans la distribution cinématographique a 63 ans je suis toujours fasciné par le cinéma que l ont appele le 7ème arts.

[@antoniofongaro6833]

This is a very personal list.... I think the choice for 100 films is very hard... I haven't seen any Scorsese movie(to name just as few Raging bull, Goodfellas or Taxi Driver) or Milos Forman, William Friedkin, and I could go on with many others.....

[@user-gy3tn2xz3g]

How can you leave out Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, Pulp Fiction, Django. Very poor choices

[@13APM]

Antonioni's Blow-up, The Passenger, Zabriskie Point

[@LuizFernando-gx9me]

Incluiu muita medíocridade deixando de fora muitas obras primas Listas são assim mesmo

[@carlcontrera1699]

Top 100 and virtually no Italian movies?? No De Sica, NO FELLINI??

[@joeedley3936]

silence of the lambs or did i miss it? also memento.

[@GiulianoLugli]

You forgot Charlie Chaplin

[@clintprovance8047]

Did not recognize many of the modern movies . Doctor strangelove 1964 High Noon 1952 blazing saddles 1973 planet of the apes 1968 blazing saddles 1973 The wizard of Oz 1939 adventures of Robin Hood 1939 Laura 1944 the Westerner 1940 Shane 1953 the Bride of Frankenstein 1935 The wizard of Oz 1939 Hondo1953 the swimmer 1968 the last man on Earth 1963 The grapes of wrath 1940 it's a wonderful Life 1946 The Maltese falcon 1941

[@bradhansen2065]

No movie made after 2005 can ever be considered in the top 100. These movies you named with very few exception are so far below the rest. Hollywood is broken and I wonder if it can ever be fixed, not if these are the best you can offer.

[@13APM]

The Big Country

[@13APM]

Limelight.

[@kevinfarrell523]

Are they approved by the Government?

[@13APM]

Amadeus. Becket.

[@grandetclaude5005]

good choice, but too much american and english films . What about french, italian, corean , swedish films etc. ?

[@13APM]

Psycho

[@enieniz]

sometimes frustrating sometimes satisfying, but thanks for putting this together. I hope some of these are really amongst your favourites and not just wankerism
