This is a list of Movies I Love. The list is inspired by the column by Film School Rejects entitled "Movies We Love." The column revisits and reviews some of the films that the writers and editors adore. This is my version of the column minus the long review.

This list was really really difficult. I had to leave out a lot of films that I hold in very high regard but I wanted this list to represent the real cream of the crop.

The first 15-20 or so are in order after that it gets a bit blurry and is way too hard to determine. I could never rank all the movies I love but I do have that solid foundation that comprise my absolute favorites.

This list will also require multiple viewings and therefore some of the more recent entries will not be included even though upon first viewing I rated them very highly.

This list will also only include dramatic films, no documentaries.
