well, i know I'm late, but if it's not too much trouble here is my expanded list. Now 50 and somewhat rearranged.

Got some rewatches in and reminded myself (using these lists and other online resources) of many good films I had forgotten - some rather great classics I left off out of sheer forgetfulness.

Anyway, still not a full 100 but at least it's a solid 50.
