  1. I love movies. Good movies. Bad movies. I just love watching them.

    Here are the rules to my list.

    (1) The Ranking is merely to spark debate, each movie on the Top 100 are my favourites.

    (2) It takes 10 years before a movie can make the list, because time is such an important factor with any art form. Sure you make like it now after you just saw it, but how does it look after 10 years? Is it still good, do you still want to watch it?

    (3) Only English-speaking movies are able to make my list, because I have not seen enough foreign-language films to consider myself an expert film watcher.

    I have seen almost 4000 movies in my life up to this point, and these are my favs. Enjoy the list and let me know which movies you like and which ones you hate.

    Have a great day,
