My Favorite 100 Movies

"I don't feel like I have to wipe out everybody...just my enemies, that's all."

After watching "The Departed" hit it big at the Academy Awards on Sunday, I again attempted to jog my mind and try and figure out where that stands as far as my favorite movies of all time. So, while thinking about all the great movies I've ever seen, I figured I would put down my favorite 100 from all time. I have to stress that this list is not a list of the "greatest" movies ever, but rather, just my favorites. Not every "great" movie is going to be on the list is really what I'm getting at, so if you see something that you think I would like and it has been omitted, it's probably because I haven't seen it, and if I start ranking movies I haven't seen, that's kind of just lying to you guys, which is no good (example: Clockwork Orange...people have told me I would love it, and it probably will go in the top 100 eventually, but I haven't gotten around to see it, and therefore, not on the list). And away we go...

Well, hope that gave you some kind of insight as to what kind of movies I'm into, and if not, well, it was nice to make another long list. This one brought back a lot of memories for me, as I hope it will for you as well. I'm going to try and see some of the movies that most likely belong here (Clockwork, Usual Suspects, Se7en, etc.) Take care everyone. Peace.
