101^w102 Movies You Must See Before...

See also here, and a follow up on the author's blog here.

Not a list of favourites, or a list of the best -- a list of 102 films you must see before you can consider yourself "film literate".

Actually 103. You can't count The Godfather and The Godfather: Part 2 as a single film. Even if you could, it'd have to be the whole trilogy, not the whole trilogy except for the one you didn't like.

This list is not ranked and is shown by release year.
