Addendum: Why Some Of Your Favorite Movies Aren’t Here
I’ve heard about a dozen times that Goodfellas should be on the list. Casino is Goodfellas and Scorsese only gets one spot for making the same movie twice.
Lawrence of Arabia is a great film, but I find the other epics on the list to be a cut above.
Doctor Strangelove is one of the most overrated films of all time. The Peter Sellers comedy Being There is a superior film, and even that got an upgrade with the 90s classic Dave.
Chinatown has a brutal ending that completely sours the experience of watching the film. I can't in good conscience recommend such a downer so highly. Scott Pilgrim vs The World is a comedy I thought was hilarious and genius, but I similarly couldn't recommend in good conscience because it portrays a homosexual character positively.
There are a dozen films I wanted to add to the list but I did want to keep it as close to 100 as possible, to make this list strictly the best of the best.
To that end, Sideways, Rounders, Dredd, The Green Book, The Burial (2023), Gone With the Wind, North by Northwest, Boondock Saints, Cinderella Man, The Mask of Zorro, Mission: Impossible, and Captain America all missed the cut.
Pretty good list. Groundhog day pulling in top spot is a bold move. It is such a great movie. Inspiring me to watch it again. Happy Gilmore is one of my favorites. You missed on Goodfellas not being in the mobster movie section.

I have Casino there, it's the same film. 😁
If I had to pick one John Hughes it would be Breakfast Club by a mile, but Ferris is definitely 2nd.
Thanks for the list.

One of the most overrated films of all time.
Oh wow Pacino and De Niro, couple of good scenes, that's it.
