My 100 Greatest Films

This morning I set about the task of compiling my list of The 100 Greatest Films I have seen to date for a new friend of mine. Due to popular demand from other Facebook friends and Twitter followers, I have decided to post it on here with minor alterations from the list I gave her. (We've already talked about a few on my master list so I didn't include those on the one I gave)  It is bound to get criticised as it is subjective. It is also heavily weighted towards drama and political movies because those are my passions.

I'm not going to link to every film because it requires too much effort. I suggest you use IMDb search instead.
