Just for the fun of it, I tried to come up with my 100 favorite films of all time, but I couldn't seem to reduce it to less than 112. These are films I never get tired of watching. I don't mean to say they are the "best" films at all; they are just my personal favorites based on my personal tastes.

thats a great list!

you have great taste on movies mike!

Great great We share an appreciation for Hitchcock, Disney, and Pixar, as well as Spirited Away, which is an absolute requirement (I think) for anyone's top *insert #* list.


Wonderful list of films, thanks for sharing it with us!

Great list! Many of those films are phenomenal!

Pixar can do no wrong!

I originally had "Rope" on the list too -- one of Hitchcock's best -- probably should have left it on...

I am kicking myself hard for buying Don't Say a Word at Walmart over M*A*S*H.

ARGH! I forgot "The Emperor's New Groove"...

Everyone does. :wink:

Those movies would probably be in my top 100 too.

I like all of the above.

I probably should have thought harder about this list before I posted it, or I would have included Kill Bill 1 & 2 as well. (Sigh)...

Another version will be posted in 6 months...

Interesting choices. It looks like you tried to include at least one movie per year and a maximum of only 3 choices per year. Kind of hard to organize a complete list. Oh wait you have a movie missing for 1997 and 1986

These are fine by me Mike, a fine list

Not really, it just happened that way.
