That being said, the idea is not dead... rather, I am trying to convert it to another medium; one that I am far less likely to ever have a chance to make.<br />
<br />
Because while a <i>Fluff & Bone</i> webseries would be fun, an animated <i>Fluff & Bone</i> television series would be so much better.<br />
<br />

Any recommendations for 2011 films that I have overlooked?<br />

Also, I have no idea why the spacing is so weird, as it looks fine on the edit screen.</span><br />

Directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger have appeared numerous times over my list, and not for the last time, either. <i>The Red Shoes</i> is a beautiful film - shot if gorgeous technicolor - that follows the rise of a talented ballet dancer, showcasing the joy and pain that comes from the level of dedication that some people put towards their art. The film is about more than just ballet, it is about what some people will sacrifice to achieve the highest levels of perfection. In the case of Vicky Page (played wonderfully by Moira Shearer), it comes to choosing between love and her art.</div>

#9 - The Holy Mountain - dir. Alejandro Jodorowsky - 1973</div>

Certain images from <i>The Holy Mountain</i> have probably stuck with me better than any other film on this list. I'm not entirely sure how to describe it... I suppose I can sum the plot up to being about a Christ-like figure undergoing a meta-physical quest towards enlightenment in a world full of perversions and religious symbolism. And, be warned, this is not a film for the faint of heart, or the easily offended.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The visual aesthetics of this film are extraordinary - the set pieces especially. Incredibly imaginative - in an acid trip sort of way - Jodorowsky tries to connect a lot of very different ideas: from alchemy and mysticism, through cynicism, poetry, surrealism and satire, making this film an extremely ambitious achievement. Whether or not it is successful in those ambitions would probably vary wildly from person to person, as this film certainly isn't for everyone.</div>

<i>The Holy Mountain</i> is fascinating, entertaining, and incredibly grotesque. It also has a scene of toads re-enacting the conquest of Mexico. I have attached the link... view at your own discretion:</div>

#8 - Shallow Grave - dir. Danny Boyle - 1994</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<i>Shallow Grave</i>, Danny Boyle's directorial debut, is also his best film. A fast-paced, stylish, tightly written thriller about three roommates who find their fourth roommate dead with a case full of money in his room, the film works as both a black-comedy and an effectively scary thriller, with the dynamics between the three friends ever changing. The three main actors are terrific (Ewan McGregor, Kerry Fox, and Christopher Eccleston), with Eccleston giving a performance so good that I'm tempted to go back and watch him on Doctor Who again. Having had seen and liked almost every other Boyle film (whilst turning a blind-eye to <i>The Beach)</i>, I had high expectations when watching this, and the film managed to completely exceed them.</div>

Godard, one of the leading directors during the French New Wave movement of the late 1950's and 1960's, shows up multiple times on my list, with <i>Pierrot Le Fou </i>ending up as my favorite of his films.</div>

Following a man and his ex-girlfriend as they are pursued by gangsters, the film becomes a road-trip movie as the characters travel south whilst committing crime on a journey of both re-creation and self-destruction (figuratively and literally). At once part gangster film, part musical, part crime-road-movie, Godard ignores typical narrative conventions and instead improvises much as it goes along, making <i>Pierrot Le Fou</i> both messy and a little bit maddening (in the best way possibles).</div>

Love. Hate. Action. Violence. Death. In one word: Emotions."All of these emotions run high throughout <i>Pierrot Le Fou</i>, and as a result, it ends up being the finest Godard film I've seen yet.</span></span></div>

<i>Stalker</i> may be the best science fiction film ever made. It follows a guide known as the Stalker as he leads a Writer and a Professor through a mysterious land known only as The Zone, an area where the laws of physics no longer apply. The men travel in search of a place called The Room, where their deepest desires are said to come true, and each holds a different reason for why they have come.</div>

The film may be slow but is highly rewarding. It is a science-fiction film that has no explanation of science or futuristic technology, instead developing an atmosphere than can be both as harrowing as it is beautiful, and concluding with one of the best final shots of any film ever made.</div>

The Archers appear more times throughout this list than any other director. The fact is, I have yet to see a film directed by the duo that I did not, in fact, love. So that <i>The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp</i> manages to be my favorite of their films says an awful lot about just how high of esteem I hold for it.</div>

The film spans forty years, detailing the life of General Clive Candy, a military man first seen in his year of old age - fat, bald, and sporting a walrus mustache. What first appears as a caricature develops into a fascinating persona as the life of Candy is laid out before us, revealing him as both the ideologist and the romantic that he is. The finest part of the consistently excellent <i>Colonel Blimp</i> may be the miraculous performance of Deborah Kerr, playing three different roles that intertwine with Candy over the course of his life.</div>

<i>Playtime</i> is a movie without a story. It is a movie where things are constantly occurring, but nothing actually happens. It also may be the single greatest comedic achievement in cinematic history.</div>

The sheer number of visual gags in <i>Playtime</i> is astounding. The film takes place in a variety of locations over the course of a day, and is only linked together by a couple of characters (including Jacques Tati's Monsieur Hulot), whose paths cross on occasion. Yet the focus of the film remains on the people and technology around them, turning the most mundane of situations into brilliant comedy. It's a film that takes multiple viewings just to pick up on all of the jokes. The choreography that Tati must have put in to setting up some of the gags is astounding, with many being built up so naturally that you won't even realize something is coming until it actually occurs. That the humor carries additional weight by holding a message on both tourism and the excesses consumerism only improves the quality of this already perfect film.</div>

Like <i>Playtime, Chungking Express </i>is the type of film you really need to watch multiple times to get the most out of it.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

Comprised of two overlapping stories - the first, about a love-sick cop who encounters a mysterious woman (who also happens to be a drug smuggler), carries an almost noir-feeling, and ends where the second story begins, at a snack bar known as Midnight Express. The second story, about a second love-sick cop, centers around a girl (in a miraculous performance by Faye Wong) who falls for him, and genre-shifts the movie into almost a romantic-comedy.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The direction of the film is stylish and full of energy; the camera work is kinetic, showcasing some fantastic imagery of the metro Hong Kong area, and the soundtrack (with its constant repetition of 'California Dreamin') is wonderful. However, the unconventional format of the film makes it so that some details - especially in how the two stories overlap - may not stick the first time. As a result, <i>Chungking Express</i> becomes one of those rare films that gets better every time you watch it.</div>

Guy Maddin's films are a sort of reinvention of the age of silent cinema. <i>Brand Upon the Brain!</i>, his best film, is like a dream that borders on becoming a nightmare. Almost hypnotic in nature, the film weaves the story follows a fictional Guy Maddin as he returns to the island with the lighthouse-orphanage that he grew up in, only to have his mind flash back to his childhood. What follows is a story that weaves together a tyrannical mother, children detectives, a mad scientist, lesbian lovers, and orphan nectar, held together by the fantastic visual aesthetics that make Maddin's films unlike any other working director.</div>

My number one film! Easily one of my favorite films ever, too (though I guess I could say that about all of my top ten)! <i>Elevator to the Gallows</i>, Louis Malle's directorial debut, is simply one of the coolest movies ever made. It has one of my all time favorite scores (composed by Miles Davis, who pretty much improvised the entire thing), and could very well be considered as the first film of the French New Wave, having been released nearly two years before both Godard's <i>Breathless</i> and Truffaut's<i> The 500 Blows</i>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
A superb noir crime-thriller, <i>Elevator to the Gallows</i> follows two separate crimes that intersect: a carefully planned murder by one man who finds himself trapped in an elevator, and the theft of the murderer's car by a young couple. What follows is storytelling at its finest, and I would hate to ruin it with spoilers.</div>

Usually, I tried to pick films that were supposed to be good, but on some days I had very limited choices and had to watch what my friends were watching. And that almost never turns out good.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />

Instead, my bottom ten is composed mostly of movies that are either supposed to be good or that are by directors that I usually enjoy. So, for the most part, these are movies that I had hopes for that utterly failed to meet my expectations.</span></span><br />

And while this was a movie that my friends had me watch, I at least had held on to a little bit of hope that with a director like Michel Gondry (who did the fantastic Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), that perhaps this movie wouldn't be all bad. Instead, I just got two hours of Seth Rogen playing Seth Rogen in a mask, which is not a very pleasant experience.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">It's a rather uncomfortable film to watch, about three near-adult siblings who have grown-up confined to their parent's home and teachings, and as a result their actions and behavior are completely alien from how normal people act. They've been taught the wrong names for various objects. They believe cats are dangerous monsters. And while this can be amusing at first, it becomes something far more perverse as the movie progresses.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">I'm a big fan of Terry Gilliam, and he has a lot of movies that I like a whole lot, but </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Tideland</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"> isn't among them. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">In short, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Tideland</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"> is a terribly uncomfortable film to watch, mostly because a lot of unpleasant things happen to and around a young girl. For instance, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">she regularly prepares heroin injections for her father, who proceeds to die and then decompose as the movie progresses, though the girl doesn't notice as she is lost in her grotesquely fantastical imagination.

He's the man behind Slumdog Millionaire, Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, 127 Hours, Sunshine, and 28 Days Later, which is why </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">The Beach</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"> came as such a disappointment. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">I won't deny that the cinematography is wonderful. But beyond that, the film is a mess, as it tries to balance too many genres, turning it in to some sort of romantic-action-mystery-thriller that fails to come through on any of the many, many ideas it sets up. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Though I will say that Robert Carlyle was quite fun in it. Sadly, he's only in it for a couple of minutes.</span><br />

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span> </i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Hellraiser</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"> is an unpleasant movie. It is often violent, gory, and disgusting, and I have no problem with any of that, so long as it helps to make a movie good. But, truly, that savage imagery is all that </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Hellraiser</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"> is. The rest of the plot is simply unlikable characters making stupid decisions. The film is very dark, but entirely witless. The gory effects are well done, but the movie lacks any real style. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">If you want cool, stylish, brutal horror (with an amazing score to boot), watch this instead... </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwRG2qpEwl4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwRG2qpEwl4</span></a><br />

The first I have since learned was the movie </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">The Radioland Murders. </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">The second was </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Event Horizon</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">. And the third I have yet to figure out, but it involves a chainsaw cutting through the roof of a car, and a man sitting behind a fire. It's been bothering me for years.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">I have yet to re-watch </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">The Radioland Murders, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">but I did get to see </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Event Horizon</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">. And it was upsetting to realize that the movie I had spent so much time thinking about for the last ten years was, frankly, an awful movie. I wasn't exactly surprised... as soon as I figured out what it was, I looked it up online and learned that it was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, which is never a good sign.</span></span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span> </span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">So I finally watched it. And here it sits, in my bottom five. The movie is highly nonsensical, with plenty of plot-points left unresolved or poorly explained, the characters are dislikable, and it often feels like a gory-knockoff of Solaris (a far superior film involving hallucinations of family members on a isolated spaceship).</span></span></i><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">If only it had been directed by the other Paul Anderson. What a difference two letters can make...</span><br />

It's not that it was good... no, it was still quite terrible. But it seemed harmless at the time, and I felt no need to let my mind linger on its many, many flaws, because that would be giving director Zack Snyder far too much credit. I've come to accept that he's not a good director, after having seen both </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">300</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"> and </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Watchmen</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"> (though his 2004 remake of </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Dawn of the Dead</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"> actually was fairly good).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">So I didn't hate this movie at first. But then I discovered that a handful of my friends absolutely loved it, and they kept telling me how much they loved it, about how it's a wonderful film about female-empowerment, and that I was crazy for not liking it. Well, t</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">he thing is, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Sucker Punch</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"> is not empowering; what it is is shallow, one-dimensional, and filled with some absolutely terrible dialogue. I could write an entire essay on just how not-empowering </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Sucker Punch truly </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">is, but I would far rather spend my time writing about things that are far less obvious. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">If you want to go watch something violent and empowering, go watch </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Kill Bill</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">, or </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Aliens</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">. Because if I even have to hear the name </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Sucker Punch</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"> one more time, I'm afraid I can't be held responsible for what it will make me do.</span><br />

A real one! In the film! That's just wrong. Many other animals were killed for the creation of this movie as well...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">I suppose </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Cannibal Holocaust</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"> does achieve its purpose. It's shocking and brutal, and has a fairly interesting social commentary in showing how people can be far more brutal and vile than the cannibals mentioned in the title. The story behind it is rather fascinating as well, as the director was originally accused of having murdered his cast members (he didn't. But he did kill the monkeys). So it is also terribly unethical, and quite a disturbing watch, so I certainly never plan to watch it again.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Crash</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"> won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2005. Which means it's a good movie, right? I have been working my way through every best picture winner and nominee, so I figured it was time to give it a watch.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">There are a lot of movies that aren't very good, and most of these movies seem to know that. Sometimes, that makes these movies enjoyable. There are times when I simply enjoy watching them for mindless entertainment. And then there are the really good movies. Those are the ones that I like the most. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">But then there are the bad movies that think they are good movies. Movies like </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Forrest Gump</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"> or </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">E.T.</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"> or </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Shrek</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">. And, of course, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Crash</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Crash</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"> is a movie about racism, and it tries to say a whole lot about it. The movie follows a large ensemble of characters over a couple of days as there lives coincide through a series of unlikely coincidences. And the entire time, everything they do is about race. Every line spoken. Every action and interaction. It's ridiculously implausible. People don't talk like that. The language often seems as if it is trying to be shocking, but it wears thin extremely quickly. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">The characters themselves are little more than racial stereotypes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">So if you can't tell, I have a major problem with how the screenplay was written. I hated the dialogue, and I hated just how forced the coincidences are.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">I especially hate how a movie like this could win an Oscar for Best Picture. And that helps ensure it as my #1 worst for this year.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">My bottom ten is finally done! Which means I can get a start on my top ten! I promise there will be a lot less hating in that part of it. Hopefully, it will be posted by early next week.</span><br />

Highly suspenseful, and increasingly complex as the story unfolds, the film manages to be both an effective thriller as well as a romantic-comedy, thanks in due part to wonderful performances by the leading actors, Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave. Full of great characters, fantastic dialogue, and brilliant direction, <i>The Lady Vanishes</i> is certainly one of Hitchcock's best.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

From the opening tea-room shootout through the explosive hospital climax, the action in <i>Hard-Boiled</i> puts most other action movies to shame. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

It's filmed on a stage, with the basics layout of the town of <i>Dogville</i> marked out on the ground, and with basic furniture of the buildings visible. So, basically, the picture above.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">However, the characters don't see any of that. They see a normal-looking town, and they go about their day to day life as if they were in normal buildings living relatively normal lives. That being said, this makes it unique from any other film you are ever bound to see. And it completely works, thanks to Lars Von Trier's writing and direction, as well as the fantastic cast, headed by Nicole Kidman (in what is probably my favorite performance of hers).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Also, this film is dark, brutal, and depressing. And it has one hell of an ending.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

So many elements of this film deserve praise: the stunning cinematography, the unforgettable score, the incredible performances of Omar Shariff and Julie Christie (and the rest of the cast, for that matter), and the direction of David Lean. Put together, they create one of the most timeless romantic epics ever made.</div><br />

These are the movies that would have been my #51 through #80. However, I'm not ranking these 30. I'm instead just going to label them all as runner-ups.<br />

I started this challenge on November 1st, 2010, and finished with less than ten minutes until midnight on October 31st, 2011.<br />
<br />
The 500 movies range from the absolutely fantastic to the abysmal, covering films of every genre (and probably most sub-genres). Some of these movies I love, and some I hate. I'll be ranking my favorites in the second post.<br />
<br />
In order viewed, the 500 movies...<br />
