Here’s a list of my 100 favorite movies. This isn’t a list of the 100 greatest movies of all-time, just my 100 best of all-time. I include a few old movies – keep in mind that I’m only old enough to remember movies from the mid-70s on, plus older ones that I’ve seen on TV.
The list is kind of random – I’m sure there are some I’ve forgotten, I don’t like horror movies or mafia movies, and I do like action movies even though they’re not always the best reviewed. I include action, drama, comedy, sports, documentaries, and a little bit of romance. So here are my top 100 movies of all-time.
