A Little Background…

I decided that before I go and start throwing random movie reviews and the like up on here I better at least give some kind of indication of where my film tastes lie. Rather than posting a rather lengthy and rambling essay of said tastes, I thought it would be more convenient to simply put up a list of my 100 favorite movies.

Yes, I have a list of 100 favorite movies. It took about 45 minutes to put together. It will be changing constantly. I’ll make sure to keep you updated on the new additions and deletions. You are thrilled about this. I’m going to cut to the chase and start from #1. So if you’re looking for suspense, I think a new M. Night Shyamalan movie just came out.
