I love movies. All kinds of movies. Some are critically aclamined, some aren't, all I have enjoyed for one reason or another. Some are fun, some are serious, some have a point to make or a story to tell. The movies I will list here are my favorites, or were my favorites at one time. That doesn't mean that they are necessarily 'your' favorites!

I will attempt to list according to genre as best I can (in no particular order) and will rate them with a simple rating system. Without a doubt the vast majority of these movies I have seen more than once. If I have only seen it once and it is listed here, well it must have left quite an incredible impression on me.

This list will grow over time as I recall movies that I have really enjoyed. There is also a current list, not every movie I have seen, but ones I liked enough to remember the names of :-).They may or may not make this list of all time favorities, only time will tell, and often repeated watchings. Maybe one day I will get around to critiquing the current ones in my blog, but as yet haven't found the time.
