Okay---got to stop fiddling with it. I'm sure I'll think of more later. It's light on the foreign films, too, and on classic horror and musicals and animation and a few other sorts. Like lesbian films. It's hard to stop at 100, that's for sure. I'm leaving off LOTR for now; have to digest it longer.
