	Some of your years are wrong. The Matrix did not come out in 1984, Rain Man was not in 1998

	I'll fix those- let me know if you notice any others.

	'The Piano' says the year is 199. Great quiz otherwise.

	How in the world does The Shawshank Redemption get left off this list? Way to go, Entertainment Weekly.

	TBird15:	Jun 18th, 2010 at 04:40 GMT		20 points
	No Shawshank Redemption (!), Forrest Gump, Braveheart, Usual Suspects, American Beauty, City of God, or Beauty and the Beast? I'm sure the editors at EW could have found some room for those.

	EW is about as worthless to movies & Tv as Rolling Stone is to music

	redsxfenway:	Jun 18th, 2010 at 07:59 GMT		-3 points
	I object to this quiz on principle. New classics? That means absolutely nothing.

	sta_wolf:	Jun 18th, 2010 at 11:02 GMT		2 points
	Left out the Shawshank Redemption, but they included the 40-year-old virgin? And am I the only one that missed Spiderman 2 and Terminator 2 because I didn't think of sequels?

	willowee2003:	Jun 18th, 2010 at 12:53 GMT		2 points
	I thought it was weird they left off Shawshank too...

	johnlk:	Jun 18th, 2010 at 13:01 GMT		7 points
	What a puzzling list. No "Big Lebowski"?

	glanzerr:	Jun 18th, 2010 at 13:01 GMT		-1 points
	I think you should just accept "Spinal Tap" for "This Is Spinal Tap."

	WCRoentgen:	Jun 18th, 2010 at 13:26 GMT		0 points
	What TBird15 said. Also, where's "Platoon"? And I'd add "A League of Their Own" if only for the line: "There's no crying in baseball!"

	Glanzerr: will do

	I remembered Schindlers List, about to write it down, forget it and then see i it come up!!! I'm very surprised that Forrest Gump and many of the Disney or Pixar animated films didn't come up. Finding Nemo???

	baconstud01:	Jun 18th, 2010 at 16:17 GMT		5 points
	To add to the other obvious missing films (and I agree with everyone mentioned thus far): Good Will Hunting, Slumdog Millionaire? Does EW seriously think The Talented Mr. Ripley or Breaking or The Lives of Others are really going to be remembered/watched more than than these films decades from now? Beyond ridiculous. As a side note...good quiz. Not your fault they're stupid.

	willowee2003:	Jun 18th, 2010 at 16:46 GMT		3 points
	Thanks baconstud. I don't agree with the list- like most EW lists, they made some good calls and plenty of bad calls. Good Will Hunting is so much more iconic than the Talented Mr. Ripley. Im totally with you on that. Also, why on earth Spiderman 2, and Terminator 2? Just bizarre.

	alleyt1989:	Jun 18th, 2010 at 17:39 GMT		1 point
	agree with all the above movies that have been missed out - especially shawshank redemption and forrest gump. what about chicago and sophie's choice, donnie darko?!?

	Fidelio:	Jun 18th, 2010 at 17:44 GMT		1 point
	My best guess as to how these movies were chosen: the staff got together and an editor threw out the question, "OMG, what do you think is the bestest movie ever to watch when you're having a slumber party with all your BFFs?" and these were the first 100 mentioned. Either that, or it was mandated by corporate that at least half of the choices had to be appeal to the bubble-gum crowd, because they were convinced that would make it more marketable - and if that's the case, they were probably right.

	Napoleon Dynamite? Really, EW?

	rgreen13:	Jun 18th, 2010 at 21:36 GMT		0 points
	Forrest Gump should be number one on this list and Shawshank Redemption is way up there also

	hail2california8:	Jun 19th, 2010 at 02:00 GMT		1 point
	Almost Famous? Garden State? Trainspotting?

Comment below threshold: show it

	dxman:	Jun 19th, 2010 at 08:08 GMT		1 point
	@rgreen13, @tbird15, @Fence421: I agree with all of you guys. @quiz maker: Not to be nitpicky, but you forgot the parentheses after Jim Carrey's name (for the 2004 film) and your put the wrong parentheses after Eddie Murphy's.

	At the risk of getting my head bitten off (or the Sporcle equivalent, violent downgrading), I was happy to see a list that had the guts to include Far From Heaven but NOT Forrest Gump. Sure, there'll always be omissions and weird inclusions, but since 1994 I'd always thought Forrest Gump was overrated.

	LoneStarDown:	Jun 24th, 2010 at 01:11 GMT		3 points
	Seven, city of god, usual suspects, Braveheart, shawshank redemption, and maybe forrest gump should be on this list.

	Fidelio:	Jun 24th, 2010 at 01:27 GMT		1 point
	@photogirl - Forrest Gump was overrated - and it's especially a shame that it won the Oscar that year. Pulp Fiction was the most influential movie of the 90s by a longshot. If a movie about a heroinc-addicted hitman that features Ving Rhames getting raped was too muh for the Academy to handle, then the Shawshank Redemption would have been a perfectly acceptable choice. Forrest Gump, on the other hand, was a rip-off of Being There written by someone who couldn't figure out it was a parody.

	Dark Knight? I figure that you can pretty much take the highest rated movies from iMDB or Rotten Tomatoes to make this list instead of arbitrarily picking it.

	Bulletchewer6:	Jun 27th, 2010 at 09:24 GMT		0 points
	Top 14 Omissions: 1 The Shawshank Redemption; 2 City of God; 3 The Big Lebowski; 4 Forrest Gump; 5 The Dark Knight; 6 Se7en; 7 Braveheart; 8 Reservoir Dogs; 9 Amores Perros; 10 Borat; 11 Mean Girls; 12 Charlie Wilson's War; 13 Girl, Interrupted; 14 Sin City.

	I refused to finish this quiz when i saw Blue Velvet was #4. I agree with Fidelio, FG was overrated, Shawshank or Pulp Fiction were better movies

	brez002:	Mar 23rd, 2011 at 07:25 GMT		1 point
	fun quiz; I like how they included some comedy movies like south park, there's something about mary, 40 year old, swingers, austin powers, and shrek. HOWEVER, some terrible omissions (that most ppl mentioned). My main objections: A Few Good Men, Good Will Hunting, Shawshank Redemption, Braveheart, and Reservoir Dogs. And a few that were included I haven't even heard of; may be good movies but tough to consider classics.

	SmokeMonster:	Apr 8th, 2011 at 05:20 GMT		1 point
	I personally hate that Shrek is on here, but that's not unique to this list. Eventually people are actually going to go back and watch the movie again, and realize it was okay at best.
