100 Movies to See Before You Die: The All-Time Greats
by The Yahoo! Movies Editorial Staff
Many movies are good, some are great, but only a select few can be called truly "essential." After heated discussions, long negotiations, and a shouting match or two, the staff at Yahoo! Movies has put together this list of the 100 films you must see before you die. To choose the titles for the list, we considered factors like historical importance and cultural impact. But we also selected films that we believe are the most thrilling, most dramatic, scariest, and funniest movies of all time. Some of these films you've seen, and some you may not have heard of, but we believe that each one is a timeless classic that you absolutely have to see. For a look at the movies from the more recent past we also think are worthy of acclaim, make sure you also see "100 Movies to See Before You Die: The Modern Classics." It highlights the greatest films from across the globe made during the last two decades.
