Always happy to see The Social Network. There are many films that carry a certain Top 100 prestige with them. Even Fincher has more prestigious titles than The Social Network. But it's such a good film. Such a well crafted work where creative writing, acting and cinematic ideas shake hands and strike a beautiful balance.

Also United 93, which is simply like no other film in existence. I thought after a few years people would be able to view it with some clarity, but it seems like it's still too soon.

The Social Network is a great movie for sure. I really love some of your new movies (especially the ones that are also new for me, Rear Window, Blimp, The Red Shoes). Cloud Atlas! Liberty Valance!
Check out my blog of many topics

I'd rewatch these just for the soundtracks. :)

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring

How many times have you watched this? I've only watched it the one time myself, but it was enough for me to put it on the list. Always wonder how it would do on a follow-up viewing.
