I got Alone in the Wilderness and Tim's Vermeer. I watched the first one (I think for your top 100 club) and liked it. I watched the second one on a whim and did not.

I got Perfect Sense, which I've never seen.



V FOR VENDETTA, I do need to see that and join the deep discussion

I almost want to suggest waiting for November for that one. You'll understand why after you see it (if you aren't familiar with it already) ;)

That's super fun. Thanks for making it!

Yea, Tim isn't quite so endearing as Dick and his humble cabin I must admit. :)

I got Fog of War and Rounders, both of which I’ve seen.  Let’s spin the wheel again!


EDIT: In my second spin, I got Captains Courageous (a classic that I already saw for a smirnoff 100), Dark Horse (interesting) and The Sting, which I saw three times as an elementary school kid.  I'm not sure about Dark Horse, but I'd like to try The Sting again!

...smirnoff, you've outdone yourself. I've now gone down each path to its conclusion and can't find a wrong turn anywhere. LOVE your top 100. :)

:) Thanks

A bit more of a novelty than a practical thing, but it's fun hearing what films people landed on. :)

So I thought it was time for an update.
These are 101 of my favorite films, in no particular order but they are films that have moved me or impacted me emotionally.
I left out obvious franchise films that I love - Harry Potter, LOTR, MCU because I didn’t want to choose individual films but those all had those moments where I’d get goosebumps or tear up a little (yes I cry even when I’m happy) and to me they speak to the collective power of film - especially when seen in a theater.
I respect and admire the depth of knowledge we have here so understand that it’s a little intimidating posting lists like these among you very fine and learned people.

15. Swingers
16. Shaun of the Dead
17.  Crybaby
18. Goodfellas
19. Playtime
20. Godfather II
21. JoJo Rabbit (I know it’s early, but I think it’s got staying power)
22. The Grand Budapest Hotel
23. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
24. Forrest Gump
25. 8 1/2
26. Bend It Like Beckham
27. Millennium Mambo
