100 Favorite Movies

During the Spring of 2012, I wrote a script.  During the writing of that script, I procrastinated by making Top Ten Film lists by year from 1989-2011.  I'd write down every film I'd seen that year and then begin the difficult process of ranking them.  Once that was done and I still had a little ways to go on the script, I sought to make a list of things I'd keep in my wheel house, which gradually turned into a city-sized barn house.  

The chief form of my procrastination during the writing process has generally been in the form of penning these lists,  and I guess nowadays with this blog.  So, it makes sense to combine the two sometimes.  My favorite movies list is something I've been working on for a long time now and is something I don't think I'll ever be able to quantify.  It will probably always remained unfinished, growing, and evolving.  Nonetheless, I'd like to share my 100 favorite movies at this moment in honor of this 100th blog post.
