I like how you put a lot of films you don’t expect to see in a top list, but they’re still are very good movies. At least I’m talking for the ones I’ve seen. So yeah, I really like your list and am going to check out the films I haven’t seen because there’s a very slight chance that they are going to disappoint me!
A list of movies I enjoy watching, have a high regard of, or in some way are with me in my everyday life. Especially when I order sandwiches. I thought of scrapping some of the movies off this list because they are so well loved it becomes a cliché. Like Amélie, Donnie Darko, ESOTSM, ALL QT, but I realized I had had to just scrap my whole damn list, because all great movies go from cult -> art -> cliché -> camp -> cult -> art (ad infinitum). So here it is, not really complete, and it’s like everyone else’s list, my list:
- Goodfellas
