So, I've briefly discussed with readers tony, rufussondheim, and steve50 the prospect of indulging in putting together each of our personal lists of the top 100 best films of all time. I should hope many readers contribute their lists. If Top 100 sounds like a bit too much work, try to come up with a Top 50 or at the very least a Top 30 --It's all-time, folks. I myself will probably take a few days to complete my list, and as soon as it's posted, the regrets and reconsiderations will flow like the goddamn Mississippi, so to take some pressure off the "assignment", let's say this is your Top 100 as of the moment you post it. Hell, you could see your new favorite film ever the next day, and no shame in that. Finally, I'm unable to tell the difference between "what your favorites are" vs. "what you think it's best", so the criteria will be "listen to your heart!". If I post my list and then nobody contributes, I'm gonna be on everyone's back about it. I'll try and remember to promote this endeavor every time Sasha previews the yearly retrospect podcast. Have fun! NO DEADLINES: Post whenever!

Fantastic. And that was fast! I see you went decade by decade. I might use that approach for an alternative list. Once you get going you dread losing titles, I have to ease on the 60's and 70's! Love the inclusion of Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN, certain to be featured in mine as well.

So I was losing my mind trying to come up with a Top 100 for all the history of cinema so I decided for a different approach. Tackle it decade by decade.

Ruth, sick list. You suffer from what I call "good taste" Loving the love for SALVADOR, Cronenberg, especially A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY, RUMBLE FISH, your Kubricks, and THE TERMINATOR among others! Both ALIEN(1!) and BLADE RUNNER in the top 10? Bad.Ass!

@Christophe, Fascinating list! Noteworthy for me: Your inclusion of A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE in your top 20 no less. Such an underappreciated mid-Spielberg masterpiece! THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS and PLANET OF THE APES? I must have seen those movies over 30 times each, they're like music to my ears --there's literally a lot of music in NIGHTMARE, but you catch my drift. Wes Anderson? check. Appreciating the Spielberg-heavy feel to it (6 titles), bears repeating what kind of exceptional human being this man is. 101 DALMATIANS is -for me- to this day the best animated film in the history of Disney. I revere that movie, the sheer number of memorable images, the beauty, my God. Big Mario Bava fan, but I've never seen ULYSSES so that has to change. CHIECKEN RUN, so fresh man. THE IRON GIANT? It is only the best animation this country has produced in the last 2 decades. I remember you mentioning not liking many films from your homeland so glad to find ADELE H. Have you seen Jacques Tati's PLAYTIME? If you haven't I can't recommend it enough. I think you'd enjoy it. I'm sure you have by now, it must be the most famous French comedy, at least this side of the Atlantic.

Love both your lists. Bryce, your 60s list shows you are very widely seen, hope to be the same one day! Thanks for the list love too. There are a few films in there that aren't critically adored (i.e. Alien 3, 9 1/2 Weeks, Steel Magnolias) but these types always give a list character Cristophe, your list shows you love a good epic with a great story to go with it, which is always cool in a film enthusiast. My favourite thing about Spielberg is that everyone has a different favourite film from him (thanks to him being so prolific and rarely sucking). None make my list, but have a lot of time for Munich, War of the Worlds (aging amazingly), Empire of the Sun, as well as a few others.

I took much longer than expected with my follow-up --probably because it's the decade from which I've seen more films, so I started with more than 300 titles.
