Well… Last week I finished off my Top 100 favorite movies of all time with a look at Back to the Future as my number one. This was after sitting through the American Film Institute’s Top 100 movies of all time according to their critics.
My next great movie adventure will be the Top 100 movies that I have never seen. As with my previous list, I have turned to my good friends at Flickchart to provide me with a list of movies I’ve never ranked on their site. In addition, I took a look at the best reviewed movies on IMDB.com. Looking at their list, I pulled out the top 100 that I know I’ve never seen.
I then compared the lists, taking any duplicate films that show up on both lists as well as including the top movies that only showed up on one or the other. Hopefully I’ve managed to put together a list that is fairly accurate, based on the information provided by those two sites.
Here they are…
