I do agree that The Thing (1982) is a glaring omission. I also completely disagree on what has been said about The Cabin in the Woods (2012). It definitely deserves to be on a top 75 list. In fact, it would make my top 20 list, easy. It was an absolutely brilliant film that was both intelligent and hilarious. The acting was incredibly good and the character were very well-developed. Additionally, I loved the story. It was incredibly weird and, personally, I have always been a lover of strange storylines (2001: A Space Odyssey is one of my favorite movies). Anyway, in my opinion, The Cabin in the Woods definitely deserves to be in the top 75, if not top 20 of all-time.

See, I had the exact opposite opinion of The Cabin In The Woods...lol. It wouldn't go in my top 2000. All the hype about the twist ending and how the movie was so "messed" up. I watched it and knew in the 1st two minutes the whole story of the movie and by 20 minutes in I knew exactly how it was going to end. I felt like I was a baby being spoon fed everything never being allowed to think for myself.
2001: A Space Odyssey however I agree with you on...it is an absolute masterpiece. Kubrick gave you every chance to think for yourself and decide what you were seeing.
