102 movies you SHOULD have watched

Thank you Hob Gadling (It's such an effort not to use your name!) for the tag. You clearly know how much I love movies..

Background: Jim Emerson came out with a list of 102 movies which you should watch if you want to have a meaningful discussions of any kind about movies.

And since I love talking about movies (WHAT? No Almodovar? No Ozon? No Twyker?), I sat down with this list and tried to see (and use Hob's way of noting) how many of these movies I'd seen. the results surprised me. How about you? I tag Mitli Miss, Kate, Prasad and F-Cubed. Surprise me!
