The problem is that it's an international poll so there's a lot of foreign stuff that's not well known or in some cases even readily available here.
I've seen several films on the list including two of the top 10: Citizen Kane (which I say is good but overrated) and 2001 (ditto). Oddly, while I've seen many of Hitch's movies, I haven't seen Vertigo (number 1 on the list).
As for favorites that made the list: Seven Samurai, Godfathers I & II, Psycho, Metropolis, Some Like It Hot.
Top film on the list that I haven't seen but want to: Mulholland Drive by David Lynch. I love Lynch as a filmmaker but haven't seen that one yet.
