I know there were only 65. The following movies I plan to see again, just haven't.

Gone with the Wind
Great Escape, The
Shawsank Redemption
Shining, The (1997)
Stand, The

And a few notes.

Resident Evil 4 is not on the list because I haven't seen it. While I recommend to see all James Bond movies, I seem to enjoy the mentioned two the most. I do like all Alien movies. The 1997 Shining I prefer for two reasons: 1) It was more true to the book, screenplay by Stephen King himself, and 2) Jack Nicolson gloomed a crazy feel from the start, but Steven Weber seemed a neat family man, so his going nuts was far more believable. Speed Zone is unofficially Cannonball Run III. And Pitch Black is like The Matrix - the first one feels cool and new, the sequels are masturbation material for fans.
