Date: 2004-02-18 12:58 pm (UTC)Of the ones I haven't seen, mostly the ones I'd like to see are the older classics (e.g., Notorious, Strangers on a Train) though a few of the newer ones I want to watch one of these days too (Reservoir Dogs and, yes, Leon).
Just FWIW, here's the current listing of top 100 at IMDB; actually, the top 250, split into 1-100 and 101-250. They also explain their ranking system; it *is* weighted, just in a complicated way.
