Following the lead of several of my friends I have put together a Top 100 movies list. I have to admit that creating this list was one of the most painful processes I’ve been through. After the top 50, rankings get kinda murky, but I tried. No doubt this list will change as time goes on.
For the most part movies make this list because I enjoy watching them over and over again. Thus, the majority of movies are fun romps with some emotional inspirational ones tossed in.
