New to the forum. First post.  Here's a link to my top 100.  Some cliche choices, I know.... but I stand by them.

A belated welcome and wonderful list, adolfo!

Especially like that you include King Kong, Frankenstein, African Queen, and Gone with the Wind.  And I love seeing Wizard of Oz and It's a Wonderful Life so high!!

Thanks!  Wonderful Life is one of my favorites of all time. One of the few films that can make me cry. (Don't judge.)  This list is about 1 year old at this point, and it's probably changed, just haven't had time to re-arrange just yet.

It's a Wonderful Life is my favorite of all time. :)  And don't worry, no judging.  I had the chance to see the film on the big screen this past winter, and I blubbed through most of it. 

We always post our individual top 100's on the forum in August-September and then they're compiled into a collective list, the definitive Filmspotters' top 100, so it'd be cool if you'd join us then!

This one is way too hard and changes way too often for me to put a list out there.

Although off the top of my head, films that would definitely be there are Waking Life, Splendor in the Grass, Blue Velvet, Before Sunrise, Trois Couleurs: Bleu, Annie Hall, Brick, Singing In The Rain and Synecdoche, New York.

The Rules of The Game


The Rules of the Game is often cited as one of the greatest films in the history of cinema. The decennial poll of international critics by the Sight & Sound magazine ranked it #10 in 1952, moved it up to #3 in 1962, and #2 in 1972, 1982, and 1992; in 2002 it fell back to #3, behind Citizen Kane (1941) and Vertigo (1958).

I only wish I held as much sway around here as tjwells.
