100 Films list!

Like my previous list of Books to Read before Death I've decided to work my way through some of those classic films I have yet to watch. My rather lovely Sister in law-to-be bought me "The Film Book- A complete guide to the world of cinema" for my birthday last month and while I've been enjoying flicking through it, I've also been shocked at how many amazing films I have never seen! For Shame!

Anyway, the book suggests a Top 100, here 'tis: (I've seen the ones with stars beside them)

• The Birth of a Nation

The book does suggest that North by Northwest, Psycho or Rear Window could all have made the list too, which is typical as I've actually seen all of them, what with my love for Hitchcock. Boo.
As it stands I've only seen 25 out of a hundred.

My head hurts.
