It’s not like I’ve seen anything close to “every movie.”

I’m more likely to watch something I enjoy for the 20th time, over watching something new.

There are a variety of reasons why films become favorites.

How good was it? Where did you first see it?

Does it remind you of a particular time in your life?

Certain people?

The shows we love the most, feel like home.

Our lists would all be SO different.

It’s like an x ray, to the entertainment sections of our souls.

Without explanations, these are my 100 favorite ( NOT “BEST”) movies of all time.
