DVDs weren't out yet, so please ignore my box set
The hundred movies meme was even harder to assemble because I spent far more of my childhood and adolescence immersed in books than in movies and therefore many of the films on this list were not so much formative as illuminating once I finally started paying attention to cinema as an art form, and/or they wired themselves instantly into my brain and are quoted regularly to this day. A list of favorites might overlap significantly but not identically, I imagine tilting more heavily toward sff and noir. I feel it may be a much more mainstream list than my formative books, although still full of meaningful absences. (I sacrificed a number of classics as well as movies whose circumstances were potentially more important than their content, but just glitched on The Medium (1951) and Katerina Izmailova (1966), both of which I even own.) I find it very difficult to try to winnow accurately. I may just not be designed for this format of meme.

I think that is a very sensible way to think of it!
Your list is great, I especially liked seeing Autobiography Of A Princess and The Russian Ark, and of course all the noirs!
Thank you! So many more noirs were regretfully discarded! Justice for Temptation Harbour (1947).
(We matched on 34 out of 100, by the way!)
w00t!

Oh no, what a shame! You might have to make a list of 100 noirs! ;)

. . . that I might actually be able to do.
