It took me a very long time to decide on and arrange my 100 favorite movies. I'll probably rearrange it all in a few months. The top ten or twenty are relatively stable. Everything else moves around a lot. It's easy to arrange films within a given genre, but across all genres is so hard! I make no claim that these are the "best" or the "greatest," just my personal favorites. As a result you will see some quirky choices pop up...
