F2Rs 100 Movies... 100 Thrills

Here I bring my personal version of AFI's 100 Years... 100 Thrills list. "Thrill" is defined as "to affect with a sudden wave of keen emotion or excitement, as to produce a tremor or tingling sensation through the body." So, that's more or less what this list is based on. Remember that thrills do not necessarily equal scares.
