Shocho's Top 100 Favorite Movie List

Last time, I put this into two columns, although the HTML seems to have faded with age. (Is that even possible?) This time, you can just bite me and scroll down. Looks like I do this once a year, whether it needs it or not. I just happened to see Léon on somebody's desk at work, and borrowed it (I've been wanting to see it again). I saw a lot of good movies like Good Night, and Good Luck, Capote, Goblet of Fire, Howl's Moving Castle, and Batman Begins, but it's tough to make the Top 100.

I just saw The Professional last year, too. Good movie.

WOW.

wow.

I mean, I'm -- like -- Joss Whedon's bitch myself, but: wow.

Out of curiosity (sorry if I missed this previously), but where did Firefly fit into your timeline-of-watching?

The article has a link to last year's list, if you want to know what fell off the bottom.

I don't know what "timeline-of-watching" means. I watched Firefly when it was broadcast, sometimes on two televisions since we were a Nielsen family then. Alas, we could not save it.

If I were truly Joss's bitch, Serenity would have been #1, wouldn't it? I am actually Billy Wilder's bitch.
