as "The Best Of".. There were plenty of movies missing from that list and some that shouldn't have been on there..

Half of the ones I have not seen have been by choice. I also doubt very much that this list really represents the 100 greatest films of the last 30 years. A lot of good ones, some mediocre and quite a few omissions.

I've seen 18 of them for sure. I didn't like all 18, or think they were all worth seeing. I skipped a couple I wasn't sure about; maybe I saw them, maybe just heard about them, but don't remember, so they don't count. I've read at least one book for a movie on that list I haven't seen.

I hardly ever watch movies. And I wouldn't consider most of those good picks for a "100 greatest" list.
