Here are some others I think should have been on the list, although I'm not sure they all qualify as American films.

How Green Was My Valley

Rosemary's Baby

dom,

Mr. Smith goes to washington is a movie worth seeing right away. I am a poli nerd and that movie brings a tear to my eye everytime I see it.

"The Sixth Sense" - really? Top 100 all-time?

clearly originality is weighted really, really highly

Rod Sterling did everything to a much better degree in the 60s compared to what M. Night is trying to do now. M. Night just makes really long mediocre twilight zone episodes.

Love/hate moments in his film, cant say I truly like any of his movies, maybe unbreakable for what he was trying to do, but I cant sit and rewatch that movie, I want to kill myself. And the [censored] subtitle ending is BS.

I'll just assume the only reason Pootie Tang isn't on the list is because it came in at #101. That's the only possible excuse.

In the Bedroom is a post 2000 movie that should be on the list. It really doesn't matter, though, as the omission of Cool Hand Luke makes the whole list a joke.

Everyone knows that Empire was better than Star Wars, so any list that ranks Star Wars pretty highly and doesn't have Empire at all is obviously retardo.
