150 Great Movies That Lived Up to the Hype

Some movies are hyped to a point that it seems impossible to live up to expectations. This is a list of films that, for me, live up to those expectations.
Yesterday I made a short list of movies that I found to be overrated and a short list of movies I found to be underrated. Luckily for me, I find that most great movies have their reputation for a reason.
