My 50 Favorite Movies of All-Time

Do you know what I love more than anything? Movies. Know what I love more than movies? Making lists! A few weeks ago I posted my list of the 50 greatest rock bands of all-time, putting that together got me thinking about my favorite movies of all-time. Now, since I am not up on my classic movies like I am with my music I didn’t want to make this into a “greatest” type list – so I am keeping it to my personal favorite movies. I kept the list to the top 50 but this list could have easily gone to 100…there are so many awesome movies out there.

For the record my rankings are based on two factors: pure enjoyment of the movie and my ability to watch it over and over – which to me is a sign of a great movie.
