ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or is The Talented Mr. Ripley a new entry?
Also...CAROL!!! SLAY!!!
Haha, Mommy is a new entry, but Ripley made the list last year, moving up a lot this time. ;)
DeleteCarol is AMAZING!!
Awesome list, as always! I haven't watched about half of them, though the ones I have I liked as well. I'll have to check out the others, adding some to my watchlist! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hope you like the ones you added to your watchlist. :)
DeleteGreat list with some extraordinary films.
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe that you're able to rank them from first to last. I have a rough list of my top 100 but it makes my head hurt just thinking about trying to put them in order of preference. The top 10/15 wouldn't be too difficult but after that it would be akin to pulling teeth to choose say Strangers on a Train over This Gun for Hire or vice versa.
Thanks. It's not easy, especially when I forget films I wanted to add. I completely left out The Last Picture Show, for instance.
