100 movies!

[Tonberry]

Hello,

I am cuckoo for movies, and I should be, as I work at a theatre and was a film major for a while.

I decided at one point I'd try to actually compile my top 100 list of the movies I liked. This wasn't easy! I had to remember every movie I'd seen and try to give it a rating... Then organize the 100 best (Which run the gamit of A+ to B-) into a list.

Here is that list... I welcome people to comment and debate, as I'm sure few will agree.

I'm sure some of these are surprising... but... maybe make it a blockbuster night and try some on for size?

[Kaidy Mae]

I had to remember every movie I'd seen and try to give it a rating...

Does this mean you've never seen Reservoir Dogs?

Excellent list.

[Tonberry]

Not only did Reservoir Dogs come in at #101, but it was top of the C+ heap.

Club Dread yet no Half Baked?

[Tonberry]

Half Baked was good, but I like Broken Lizard about a million times more than Chapelle.

Like it must be a C+. I liked it, but not in the top 100.
