The Hollywood Reporter's 100 Favorite Films

In a topic that has been discussed time and again (not that I mind, of course), The Hollywood Reporter polled studio chiefs, Oscar winners, and television icons to find a communal, acceptable, and wide-reaching collective ranking of the one hundred greatest movies ever made. I find this list to be much more accessible than some of the pretentious nonsense that people put out there. The full list can be found by clicking on any word in this sentence, but I'm going to share some of my favorite selections with you right now.

97. Airplane!
92. Up
86. Beauty and the Beast
83. Die Hard
82. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
79. Wall-E
78. 12 Angry Men
77. Ghostbusters
69. Gladiator
68. Monty Python and The Holy Grail
66. The Lion King
65. Raging Bull
64. Mary Poppins
63. Groundhog Day
57. The Dark Knight
53. Good Will Hunting
50. Jurassic Park
49. Rear Window
45. Titanic
43. Toy Story
36. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
31. The Princess Bride
27. The Breakfast Club
26. Singin' in the Rain
24. Jaws
20. It's a Wonderful Life
18. Annie Hall
16. To Kill a Mockingbird
14. Forrest Gump
13. Raiders of the Lost Ark
12. Back to the Future
11. Star Wars
4. The Shawshank Redemption
2. The Wizard of Oz

I won't spoil the number one film for you! What could it be? Who knows? Not a bad list, though!
