The Big Post of Flicks

"Ask me if we need a different way of life...yes!" - Mr. Lif, Home of the Brave (DJ paWL Remix) [buy the album] I need your help. I'm compiling my personal top 100 films of all time and while I know I've seen near 500 films (and probably more) in my lifetime, I'm struggling to come up with the definitive list. What am I missing on here? I know there are some important films to me lost but my mind is currently mush. The criteria and order is actually pretty simple. Each position is a battle. The movies below a position are all the films that would lose if both movies were on cable at the same time. I tried not to make too many "This is a classic film and deserves a spot" choices and focused majoratively on the flicks I like to watch. So, check it out and put possible omissions in the comments if you would. Thanks!

*additions in bold. Wholesale changes will be explained here. Update: Paul Kim reminded me of some important missing movies (particularly The Terminator films, some more John Woo, and Die Hard -- I love a Bruce Willis flick). There were some films that just didn't feel right being on the list so they got dumped. I'm still tweaking. I'm woefully lacking in Comedy and Horror and, outside of one film, there isn't any animation. It's still a work in progress...
