55 Movies You Have to Watch by the Time you're 30

As an OCD, I love lists. An even better than lists are to do lists. Or the best is following the to do list. The satisfaction of crossing out items are something you either know or not.

But one thing I don't like is lists of the movies I should watch or books I should read. Probably because I would not be crossing out so many and feeling accomplished in my assumed semi intellectual lifestyle.

But Today I stumbled upon a list which was very much align with my taste, of the movies you should watch by the time you are 30. In my remaining 1 year and 9 months I would try to finish this list and write the review of the movies that I watch from the list. This would be a good practice for me to watch the stupid shows on Amazon prime or rewatch "Devil Wears Prada" for the 555th time.
Please add anything you feel is missing from this list. I love suggestions.
P.S. I would start from number 24 and skip the movies I already watched and remember vividly. And when I am done I go back and do 1-23.

The list is as follows:

1. Casablanca (1942)  - Watched, Amazing Love Story, Cried
