Hey!

One of my personal projects is to view many of the best movies of the last century. Yes! I know that top 100 lists are subjective and endlessly debatable but there seems to be a GREAT deal of overlap or consensus among lists. Here is Roger Ebert's from his website. Would would you include or exclude? I am especially interested in hearing from non-American folks as these lists tend to exclude many fine "foreign" films. P.S. Many of these films such as Buster keaton's are available in the public domain for download.
