There are probably more, but I guess I'll post them when I think of it.

For God's sake, aren't you discriminating enough to limit your favorites to a few films that you can include in one post?

My mum said that discrimination is wrong. That said, there's no way you can compare a movie like Grosse Pointe Blank to Godfather Part I and rank them in any logical fashion. Those who try I could describe with a nasty adjective, but I will refrain from doing that here I wouldn't list these movies if they weren't my favourites, as this is the point of the thread. I'm sorry but I didn't realise there was an actual number limit on this one. I just like alot of movies, more so than most people. That's what happens when a significant portion of your life is dedicated to the art, you get obsessed. Also why I was breaking it up into sections. So far, from A-I I've omitted about 400 titles from my personal collection, so I suppose that's discriminating to a degree. But not for God's Sake, but for your sake, I won't post any more. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Your mother said discriminating is wrong. So does WP. We'll have to give you a warning for that.

Threads

I dont usually re-watch films.

Well, consider that a shorter list, writtled down considerably, would tell us a lot more about your movie tastes than an extremely long one. I used to have a 40+ list at some point, but had to carefully cut down my own list as well and think about why the movies I selected were important to me.

Come to think of it, that would be an interesting idea for a thread: Write an essay on each of your favorite films.
