Barry's "100 Films You Need to See"

[Bobby Barrows]

So the title is pretty simple, I was inspired to make a list of 100 films that I believe every person should see at least once, regardless of their interest in films or their favorite genres. This thread is more meant to open up discussion regarding films you think everyone should see. I went with a release date format, rather than a ranked format, so without further ado, allow me to present my "100 Films You Need to See"!
