Post your top 100 in here

**Mysterious Dude** · 02-28-2009, 04:09 PM

You know you have a list of your 100 favorite movies on your computer, and you’ve always wanted to share it with the world. Maybe you’ve even attempted to do so in the past. But who has the time or the wherewithal to write up a review of every film on their list? You have a job and maybe a family and other obligations that consume your time and energy. It’s probably been a long time since you’ve seen some of the movies and you don’t have time to rewatch them so they are fresh in your mind when you write about them. And how many people are really going to read your write-ups anyway? You’ll put a lot of effort into writing about the movies you love, and get only a few responses in return. Commentary is great and all, but I think the list itself often says a lot about the poster. I like lists that have distinction. If you saw D_Davis’s list without the commentary, you’d still know that only D_Davis could make such a list.

I respect people who take the time to write lengthy analyses of their favorite movies, but this thread is for the rest of us. If you have a top 100, but can’t be bothered to write commentary for each movie, post it here. Hell, even if you have shared your top 100 in the past, it’s probably changed a little since then, so post it here anyway! But no damn commentary! (If you really want to say something, go ahead and say it, but for the love of Christ, keep it brief! Also, if someone asks a question about your list, you are welcome to answer it.)

Please note that I will be very embarrassed if I’m the only one who posts a list.

How many on the list have you seen? I've only seen 71.

**Sycophant** · 02-28-2009, 06:38 PM

Some of you may remember my hilarious attempt at doing one of those list threads, which stalled out at #98 or so. I still consider working on it from time to time, and if I ever return to it, it probably won't be in order (I never want to write up something for the film that's next).

So I'll just post the full 100 here (kinda been looking for an excuse to do just this--thanks, Antoine!). It remains mostly unchanged from over a year ago when I started my thread, and there are parts of it that I would now consider questionable (I may edit it again soon), but here goes:

The Asian Cult expects nothing less of me.

EDIT: Actually just traded out 2 films for a Bergman and a Rohmer.

I've never made a Top 100 favorites list, or Top 100 best of list in my life. The highest I've gone for either one is 20. I keep putting off compiling such things.

**ledfloyd** · 02-28-2009, 09:40 PM

i need to fix mine, it's outdated. i will post it at some point.

**soitgoes...** · 02-28-2009, 10:07 PM

I don't have one, but I'll put one together over the next few days.

**EyesWideOpen** · 02-28-2009, 11:17 PM

I'll put one together tonight.

**eternity** · 03-01-2009, 01:11 AM

Mine is literally outdated immediately after I post it, I always find things I forgot, things that need to be placed way higher, things that need to be way lower, things that shouldn't be anywhere near it. It's pretty bad, but regardless, I will try.

Post later.

Hehe...in the interest of disclosure, I do have a top 100 list on my computer. I can honestly say I don't feel comfortable posting it here, though.

It's a failure in me...I feel intimidated by the film knowledge that all of you possess...my list will seem trite, overly mainstream and boring by comparison

And no, I'm not trying to be flippant or sarcastic. I mean it. In a good way. you guys floor me with what you know sometimes.

I started doing the list based on my excel scores, but got bored after I got to 20-odd. It's very much a product of the period of my life when I first got into film. I'd defend it to the death (it looks quite fanboyish in the main), but I don't think it would illicit much in the way of debate - it's all pretty standard.

Though, based on scores, Alien 3 is on the list.

**transmogrifier** · 03-01-2009, 02:44 AM

Quoting Russ (view post)

14. Mulholland Dr. (Lynch, 2001)

Exactly the same ranking for me as well.
