Seen at least 50+ of those. Looks like an accurate list. Citizen Kane kinda put me to sleep though. I'll have to watch it again.

I've seen 9 of those 
Silence of the Lambs made the list? EWW! UGH! BLECH! I couldn't *STAND* that movie! It was DIS-GUS-TING! 
LOTR probably didn't make it on the list coz it's so new still. I think the newest were like... mid ninties.

High Noon is such a good movie. Dude, Grace Kelly rocks--she is the epitome of grace and beauty. She's simply amazing.
Rear Window was also very well done. Saw it freshman year, and I remember thinking that it was an excellent film. They did a lot in such a small setting.
