MOVIES.
The day has finally come:
I can no longer distract myself from making a Top 100 Movies list. Sure, it's cliche and, to be blunt, a set up for failure - but dammit, I need to do it. I've thought about it, pondered about it, wished about it, dreamed about it for too long! So, over the coming week, I'm putting it together.
But there is a problem. When you've seen roughly a thousand movies in your life, it can be hard to remember the 'great ones' - especially when the pressure is on. So what I'd like to do is this: I would like to ask that anyone reading this post - anyone at all - respond with a list of their own ten personal favorite movies. Top ten (10) lists from everyone. It doesn't have to be detailed or thought out or even "artistic"; hell, it doesn't even have to be ten (10). But please, post 'em up. It'll be fun. And, maybe more importantly, fun to argue.
So that's it: I'm begging. To get us started, here's mine (as of now, anyway):
1) Citizen Kane
2) The Godfather
3) Schindler's List
4) Casablanca
5) Lawrence of Arabia
6) The Godfather, Part II
7) The Searchers
8) Seven Samurai
9) La Dolce Vita
10) The Graduate
Your turn.

You failed to mention Back to the Future or The Breakfast Club. I expect this oversight to be corrected promptly.
