Top 100 Movies

     Here it is. My top 100 movies of all time. Now, first of all, I do not necessarily consider these to be the "best" films of all time. They are simply my favorites. I may respect "Wall Street" for example, more than "Snatch," but enjoy the latter more....therefore, a higher rank (today).
     Second, putting a list like this is a near impossible task. Aside from maybe the top 20 films, the others could flip-flop on any given day, depending on my mood.
     Third, there is no disernable method to this maddness. I simply created this list from my list of films that I can remember seeing in my lifetime. By going through that list (of about 2000 films), I created a sublist of possible contenders for the all time 100 list. I came up with about 160 films, I then weeded out the extra sixty films (which included "Sixth Sense," "E.T.," "Blade Runner," "Magnolia," "Blazing Saddles," "The Pianist" and many others), and proceeded to rank the remaining 100, which is the list you see here.
     Lastly, realize that this my favorites of all time; therefore, there may be some films that are included this list because of my childhood.
     Lastly lastly, this list does not include the Star Wars saga; which is automatic, as the greatest story ever put to film. And no, I did not forget The Godfather, I just son't see the greatness in it; or Taxi Driver for that matter.


So, without any further ado....I give you...Andrew's favorite 100 films...see them all!!!!

Looks like I have to comment on my own comments. No one ever reads this blog. Maybe if I added nudity more people would come here.
