I posted a similar list over a year ago. Its changed quite a bit, so I decided to update it tonight adding all of the wonderful movies I've seen since the first list, and switching around my feelings about movies I had already seen at the making of the first list. I post this more for my own benefit, 'cause I like having this list out there. But it'd be cool if someone else took the time to make out a similar list of their own. Maybe just Top 20 if you're not feeling too gumptious. Cheers.
