Good list, I agree with most, but would’ve like to seen Greased Lightning (1977) with Richard Pryor in it. This film is based on the true life story of Wendell Scott, the first black stock car racing champion in America. Its a good film, though maybe not one of Pryor’s fan favorite.

In a list as expansive as 40 they leave out Pixar’s Cars?

How do you do that? Do I sense an animation bias?
