I knew I couldn't be the only Candyman fan on the boards :D I might be the only one to vote for it though...

I should've made room for these... 100 isn't enough.

Pix owes me a viewing of this for our hockey bet, but keeps putting it off. Perhaps now that it is on, at least, two lists it will light a fire.

Having only see it the one time though, I was hesitant.

Oh yeah, I should've mentioned I chose to leave off a lot of top 100 contenders without having a second viewing. So my list is likely to change a lot as I revisit movies.

Okay, I will be working on posting my top 100 today.  Still so many movies to see-- including 3 on my desk right now-- but you have to make a break somewhere.  However, before I post, I thought I would first produce the:

No, just his Dekalog-esque Weekend Stories, which was quite good.

edit: Whoops, almost forgot about The Year of the Quiet Sun.  Also very good.
