Do you have a bucket list of movies to see?


Perhaps the idea has merit. The Yahoo! Movies staff has published a list of “100 Movies to See Before You Die.”

Based on the Yahoo! Movies list, I have some serious movie-watching to do. But it also seems I have seen more than my share of classic films.

Here are the flicks I have seen (so far) on their list.

How many of these 100 movies have you seen?

Do you agree with the Yahoo! list? What must-see movies did their editors miss? Which of these movies do you think should be skipped? Why?
