Another thought — no Planes, Trains and Automobiles yet which is a movie I think is wildly overrated and not that funny but I know many thread denizens like.
The “Why was X missing?” posts are going to last long after number one is named. I plan to go on an especially long rant when Spinal Tap misses out.
I liked Planes etc but wouldn't my 100. Unlike albums, I'd probably struggle to compile a 100 movie list. No shortgae of films that I like but choosing 100 and putting them in order would be far too much like hard work. 20 - 40 easy enough though.

"You're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat"
Possibly my favourite line in a movie.

They totally did and there was a lot of character and scene and plot mixes and matches between the books and the movies. My fave was always Goldfinger -- best plot idea, great villain, solid love interest, awesome car, and it has Connery who's the best Bond. I did like Skyfall too though.Only read a few of the books, not sure if I thought any were better than the films but it was so long ago. Fair to say the movies often strayed from the book.
I think there's just too many of them so votes could have been spread. Not my choice but I did wonder if Skyfall would make it into the 100.

And I only had one of those (Goodfellas). Though Blazing Saddles was effectively the last to go on my cut list. I had a lot more comedies than most I think.The top ten is upon us all and what we do in life echoes in eternity. Here was my own Top Twenty and shame eternal shame that I did not place Papillion within it's midst.

Connery is best Bond in my book too but Dr No was the first movie I recall going to; mind you, I slept through most of it as I was a bit young and I think my parents only took me because they couldn't get a babysitter. I actually remember them going to see From Russia With Love without me even though I was too young to be bothered. Thereafter, seeing Bond films as soon as they opened became bit of a family tradition.
You Only Live Twice is my favourite but Goldfinger, Thunderball, Diamonds are Forever and Live and Let Die are right up there. OHMSS actually has a lot going for it. Live and Let Die aside, the soundtracks on all the aforementioned movies are perhaps the most wonderful series of soundtracks. John Barry's work is just exceptional.

I only included one comedy and it hasn't made the 100, which I feel is a bit of a travesty but not a huge surprise: Some Like it Hot.

That’s my wife’s favorite comedy after Rushmore. It’s a classic.I only included one comedy and it hasn't made the 100, which I feel is a bit of a travesty but not a huge surprise: Some Like it Hot.
