Wow, 1000 favorites? Impressive. Does this include shorts as well? I don't see any as I glance over the list, though. Thanks for your comments on my country-based list.

kenji04/11/2005

There are some shorts- e.g The Wrong Trousers, Tale of Tales, Street of Crocodiles (animations) and quite a few silents.

staup200511/19/2006

Great list, glad to see "Orlando" as a favorite, great film. I've been in the process of compiling a list for about 2 weeks now, though fun, it's hard to whittle it down. I had started to attempt to list titles in order of preference, but that proved too difficult. I like the way your list is structured and I'll probably arrange them in the same way.

kenji11/19/2006

Oh it's impossible to do 1000 in preferential order, especially as you'd keep having to change it left right and centre! 100 is the limit for that i think.
