Movies, movies, movies!

Yes, folks, it's the 100 Movies Meme. I've gone with yet another different list, just to be ... different. This one's the top-rated movies from IMDB, a somewhat different list to the AFI/BFI and Biggest Box-Office lists, albeit with some of the same names.

Movies I've seen are in bold, ones I have a copy of but haven't watched yet are in italics
