Resolution #216: Create My Own List Of The Top 100 Movies Of All Time!!!

/

Date: 8-4-2014

Due Date: 8-4-2015

Resolution: As part of Resolution #50 I've been watching the Top 100 Movies of All Time according to the American Film Institute. Though I think it's valid when it comes to the history of film, I'm personally not a fan of most of the films that make up the list.

That's why I decided to make up a list of my own.

One year from today I will reveal my list of the Top 100 Movies of All Time.

Be prepared to disagree with a lot of my choices.

 

Result #216: At This Moment In Time… These Are My Top 100 Favorite Films…

 

Update #1: The Conclusion…

Date: 8-4-2015

I never thought it would be easy to come up with a list of favorite movies. Even when I was watching the movies from the AFI Top 100 Movies of All Time I knew they had to factor in a movie’s relevance for the time they came out even if they didn't all stand the test of time. Though I'm guessing the people that made that list truly believed all the movies on it did stand the test of time. As you will see, I just have a different taste.

I'm a fan of comedy and quirky. Even though this list may not be fully accurate and there may be movies that I forgot to add, and there may be movies that made the list due to these omissions and the order may be a little off, but I truly do enjoy each and every movie on this list.

This is what I like.
