1. Penelope Pussycat (because she reminds me of my cat, whenever I try to kiss her she pushes at me with her paws. And I always believed "Le Pant, "e Pant" was the greatest quote in Looney Toons history. Fuck "what's up doc?")
2. The Doberman Pincher from the Animal Documentary ("It's true! I do pinch! Pinch! Pinch! Pinch!)
3. Hugo the Abominable Snowman ("Which way did he go George!? Which way did he go!?")
4. Yosemite Sam (The man was a badass.)
5. Daffy Duck (I'm just as pissed as he is that Bugs Bunny took the crown.)
Pretty damn decent, but I feel that Grave of the Fireflies should be top 5. Also, a few movies I think you overlooked: Perfect Blue, Jin Roh, Project A-Ko, Escaflowne, Ah! My Goddess, Tokyo Godfathers.
Raging Bull is on the list, it was made in 1980, that's the last quarter century.
But the reason why there's not a lot of new movies on the list is simple because not enough time has passed by.
If you think about, not a lot of films in the past 25 years have influenced cinema that much (the most recent influential film would probably be Pulp Fiction).
Raging Bull's really not that influential either, but it's widely critically acclaimed. Many critics call DeNiros' performance the best in film history, they've also said the same about Scorseses' direction. It's also given credit for resurrecting black and white (some would say Schindlers' List, but I disagree). This film turned black and white film into an art statement (which takes care of the impact and mild influence criteria).
Your thing about Welles, Fellini, Coppola, and Kurosawa is coincidental. I didn't pick favorites when I composed this list, they just happen to have made 2 films that each warrant a spot on the list.
And as for the 'Greatest', 'Favorite', and 'Best' thing: Favorites and Bests are pretty much the same thing if you ask me (depends on who's telling the story). It's all subjective, anyone can say "Pulp Fiction is the best movie of all-time" and it's pretty much saying "Pulp Fiction is my favorite movie of all-time". Best can objectively be decided, unless you got everyone in the world to see every movie ever made and rate them all. And even that warrants a problem, cause someone's gonna have an objection to that. When you're talking 'greatness' you gotta take things out of statistics, like what I've tried to do. But there's even a little subjectivity in that, cause someone can block that with even more arguments.
Theoretically the three are all the same, but 'greatness' is more plausible to objectify.
If there's anything else you want to discuss, go ahead and post, I'll be here, it's not like I have friends. And if you have a question of what I just said, feel free to say you can't understand me, I know I'm not good with words. Who do you think I am? Ernest Hemingway?
I mostly used definitive as a way to spice up the lists' title. These are just my favorite songs of all-time, and I'm biased, so what I say is best is best!
I've played the demo, waiting for my friend to finish it so I can steal it from him.
Btw, no matter how great it is, it's probably not gonna make the 100 list, it's just too new. Maybe sometime in the future.
My favorites:

I can't even begin to think of every single movie I've seen in theaters since 00's. A lot more than you have though, not to sound rude.
Try watching Salo.
What's with the awkward numbering?
I have to say you're the most unique critic I've seen. But Shining is NOT Kubricks' best film by a long-shot.
Rear Window (the most overrated Hitchcock film) is the first one to make it to the list?
Stagecoach made it before Searchers?
I'm too lazy to go down the list and nit-pick everything I don't like about the list?
You got 1952 right.

It's the 101 best songs ever written. Pretty simple, do you need help going to the bathroom sometimes?
Quagmire's the only one worth a damn.
I like "Don't Be Cruel" and 'Suspicious Minds" the best.
Age of Love should be number 1.
