I loved Dr Zhivago so I am a little sad its not there. I have not seen Citizen Kane, mind you I keep meaning to to just havn't gotten around to it. I am suprised that The Searchers is so high, its ok but I dont think it deserves the rating.
I agree with you Connavar I dont think Saving Private Ryan is much at all, not that I am into war movies anyway but in comparing that to others I have seen, I wouldnt have rated it in the top 100.

I am wondering if Ben Hur made the grade. This is a fine movie made on a huge scale both in man power and sets and has stood the test of time as an excellent movies, nearly all actors were well cast in their roles with good old Charlton Heston doing a brilliant job as Ben Hur.
I personally cannot see humor in Charlie Chaplin, but this is strictly a personal view and there are many others who enjoy his work.
This will always be a debatable list as to what should or shouldn't be on because it is a personal choice thing.
