Posters don't get much sexier than the Sin City ads...
This is more like an addendum to Shaun's post, as I've seen Sin City numerous times (and I was pretty surprised that he hadn't). I think that Sin City was entertaining and important to cinema, because Robert Rodriguez had done many things on camera that just simply weren't possible up to this point. I remember my reaction when he said he was going to film the entire thing against a green screen (Sky Captain, anyone?). To this day, it still hasn't been replicated (although Frank Miller did try, and supposedly bombed with 'The Spirit'...I have not yet watched the panned flick).
It's violent, it's sexy, it's got a great story, and the visuals are simply amazing. Definitely worthy of being in the top 100. I could watch this movie over and over again and never get bored.
9/10 (IMBD has it rated 8.4/10)

Note: As you can see, we went what seems like a bit out of order from what we said was next on the list from the High Noon post. However, those are movies that we have both not yet seen. We are encouraged to knock out movies that the other guy has seen on our own time (hence Raging Bull and Sin City).
Still up next: Hotel Rwanda, Seven Samurai, & Dr. Strangelove. We post what's up next simply so that if you want to watch along with us, we can schedule a day.
