50	There Will Be Blood 2007, R) amazing character study, daniel day-lewis blew it out of the water for me. the word greed takes on a whole new meaning. i would however like to nit pick a bit because while i was blown away by this film i don't think it was seamless or flawless as most people have said. i don't want to spoil it for anyone so i will keep my qualms to myself but if anyone who has seen it wants to dissect just hit me up
51	No Country for Old Men 2007, R) oh my god this film is amazing. it grabs your gut from the moment it opens and it still hasn't let go of mine. not a moment was wasted in this film. javier bardem is mind blowing as one of the scariest and subdued villains i've seen in a long time. the dialogue is impeccable. this is by far one of the best films i've seen this year. it is chilling and terrifying in a beautifully simplistic way. the lack of music definitely added to the element of suspense and the unconventional ending made it all the more poignant and thought provoking. it's definitely one of those films i would need to see again to get a firmer grasp on because it is so complex. this film reminded me why i love films.
52	Say Anything... 1989, PG-13) fun, funny, not too corny romantic comedy from the 80's, reiterates why i love john cusack
53	Casablanca 1942, PG) i don't understand anyone who doesn't like this movie, no matter how overrated it may be, it's worthy of all the praise
54	Earth (Disneynature's Earth) (Planet Earth) 2009, G) fucking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
55	All About Eve 1950, PG) fantastically sharp, biting, and beautifully executed. Bette Davis stole the show, in this blunt portrayal of the calculated backstabbing that showbiz is known for.
56	Dazed and Confused 1993, R) this movie will always have a warm fuzzy place in my heart
57	Tirez sur le pianiste (Shoot the Piano Player) 1960, Unrated)
58	The 400 Blows (Les Quatre cents coups) 1959, Unrated)
59	The Killers 1946, Unrated) excellent noir
60	Beaufort 2007, Unrated) i am too stunned to say anything yet
61	The Band's Visit (Bikur Ha-Tizmoret) 2007, PG-13) a lovely gem of a film, sweet and funny, simple and tender, i enjoyed it from start to finish
62	Superbad 2007, R) pretty fucking funny
63	Persepolis 2007, PG-13) truly moving, honest, never corny and fascinating. i highly recommend seeing this movie
64	Fast Times At Ridgemont High 1982, R) aloha, mr. hand
65	The Spirit of the Beehive (El Espíritu de la colmena) 1973, Unrated) wonderful story that is beautifully shot - like watching a moving painting. such a tender accurate rendering of a child's perspective and obvious influence of Pan's Labyrinth.
66	My Life Without Me 2003, R) i truly love this film; it is poignant without being overly dramatic. it is lovely and tragic and realistic and at times dream like, with a fitting balance of each element. i do enjoy
67	Pump up the Volume 1990, R) naked, wearing only a cock ring...brilliant
68	Swimming with Sharks 1994, R)
69	House of Sand and Fog 2003, R)
70	Lilya 4-Ever (Lilja 4-ever) 2002, R) gut wrenchingly depressing but beautiful, this film rips your heart out, stomps and squishes it, then pours salt all over it then carefully places it back into your bleeding chest and sews you up with perfect stitches. pow
71	Pan's Labyrinth 2006, R) wow, this film was absolutely breathtaking, my kind of fairy tale, bittersweet and multifaceted. impeccable story telling and quite the feast for the senses. i do enjoy!
72	Donnie Darko 2001, R) sweet movie
73	Kumonosu Jô (Throne of Blood) (Macbeth) 1957, Unrated)
74	Adaptation 2002, R)
75	Sweet and Lowdown 1999, PG-13) delightful film, and the music was like icing on the cake, samantha morton was fantastic

78	Sunset Boulevard 1950, Unrated)

93	Kill Bill, Volume 2 2004, R)
94	Kill Bill: Volume 1 2003, R) so much fun
95	Lars and the Real Girl 2007, PG-13) after seeing this a second time i think i understood it so much more and really adored this film and the story. it manages to express the most basic of human needs and desires that seem to be overlooked and disregarded in the hustle of modern living and is a reminder that emotional support is the under belly of expressing your love and compassion to your fellow man. oh yeah and gosling was just fucking amazing.
96	The Departed 2006, R) not necessarily scorcese's best but definitely an entertaining suspense-filled, never a dull moment movie.
97	Annie Hall 1977, PG)

99	Over the Edge 1979, PG) teenage rebels in the 70's and matt dillon in a midriff baring cut up sweatshirt = one awesome movie!!!
100	Coffy 1973, R) got to love a sista who can kick ass even with her big ol' tata's flying around all over the place
101	Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song 1971, R) totally set the bar for blaxploitation films, the first of it's kind and all i can say is that this one must be approached with caution patience and a strong stomach
102	Before Sunrise 1995, R)
103	Home for the Holidays 1995, PG-13) seriously one of my favorite movies, i can't quite place why, i just love this film
