YOU HAVEN'T SEEN TOY STORY!?
Actually I may be remembering it to be a whole lot better than it actually was.
Other than that, I think you've seen all the worthwhile ones anyhow.

I should do this myself soon - the 1001 films is even more fun/tormenting!
Jenny, you should watch Rear Window (best Hitchcock film) someday and Princess Mononoke (or any Ghibli film) too.
Lists are so cool.

I am amazed there is eight or so I have never heard of...
And at some of the movies left off of the list.

Only 17. Wow, I need to catch up on some of the classics.
How could you not have seen "The Usual Suspects"!!
This is one of the best roles I have ever seen Kevin Spacey in. Plus I adore Gabriel Byrne and Pete Postlethwaite (I think this was his break-out movie!)
This is one of my all time favourites!
