Hello,
Here are my 100 favorite movies & 9 favorite directors
I recommend you watch them all at least once!
First off I do not believe there is a "best" movie.
Coming up with a hundred movies I adore was very easy, trying to rank them I found was impossible
so they are listed alphabetical …
The film list I feel good about
Picking actors/directors is a little harder. I like all the people I listed
But the lists I'm sure would completely different if I made them tomorrow
I mean… some of the people I can't even think of a movie their in that I even really like
and I realized as I got to the directors I don't even have a Scorsese movie on my list!
I love so many of his films, yet I couldn't think of any I would consider putting on my top 100
His movies to me are like going to weddings and funerals they are memorable but I don't always want to revisit them over and over
I feel the same way about most of Kubrick's movies but with him there are a couple exceptions
And so…
