That's my favorite part of this list - the debate over what films *should* have made it, but didn't. You've got some great ones on there for sure.

Well, Mosquito Coast and Life of Brian wouldn't rank anywhere near my top 100, that's for sure. There's no way to reach a consensus. To add to the list you'd have to knock off some good ones.

Well, she did grow up some at one point, so she wasn't as nauseating as at the beginning.
