The 100 Greatest Movies of All Time

I think most of us enjoy talking about the films we love and why we love them. And if my experience is anything to go by, conversations can become quite heated when discussing the merits of films, and why one film is better than another. We all tend to have a favourite film too or at least a shortlist of favourite films. So I thought it would be interesting to post a list of the 100 best films of all time as voted for on the IMDB. How many of these films have you watched? Is your favourite film in the top 10 or even on the list at all?
