AFI has there listing, IMBD and other have theirs...Here is mine.
I am a film fan, I however, am not the biggest fan of Technology to enhance the action of a film, only the reality of the film. I am highly interested in the story and the acting, as such my list may be different than others. I have a decided appreciation for the Art of Film-making and not the computer enhanced realism of today...so yes I may be biased...these are what I consider to be the 100 Best films, not necessarily my favorites...some of my favorites I left off...but that list is coming.

So here it is, forget all the rest and contact your NETFLIX or go to BLOCKBUSTER and get you film list complete
Also,...If you are interested in the BEST CATHOLIC FILMS of all-time look at this list from CatholicEducation.com
