Saw this on Robin Lee Hatcher's blog:

Entertainment Weekly has posted a list of the 100 New Classic Movies.

Here are the first ten:

1. Pulp Fiction (1994)
2. The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-03)
3. Titanic (1997)
4. Blue Velvet (1986)
5. Toy Story (1995)
6. Saving Private Ryan (1998)
7. Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)
8. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
9. Die Hard (1988)
10. Moulin Rouge (2001)

I've bolded the ones I have seen in the top 10.

Go here for the rest of the list.

I've seen 39 of these movies. Another 3 or 4 are on my "to view someday" list. Most of the rest I wouldn't bother with.

Glad to see Lord of the Rings and The Matrix are in the top 15. And really The Lord of the Rings IS THREE movies, you know, Entertainment Weekly! So maybe we could get rid of South Park and The Evil Dead 2?

Here are the ones I have seen:
2. The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-03) - Really three movies
3. Titanic (1997) - Adore this movie! Lifelong fascination with The Titanic
5. Toy Story (1995) - Wonderful!
6. Saving Private Ryan (1998) - Didn't really like it
10. Moulin Rouge (2001) - I love this movie!
12. The Matrix (1999) - ADORE!
15. Edward Scissorhands (1990) - Odd, very odd.
17. Jerry Maguire (1996) - Didn't like it.
19. Casino Royale (2006) - Love this new Bond movie.

37. Pretty Woman (1990) - Why do people like this movie so much?
38. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) - Another very odd movie. Didn't like it.

53. The Truman Show (1998) - I liked it.
54. Fatal Attraction (1987) - Didn't like it.
55. Risky Business (1983) - Didn't like it. Another prostitute-with-heart-of-gold movie. What's up with that?
