Top Movies

It’s pretty much impossible for a movie blogger to name their very favorite movie ever but I’ve attempted to put my 100 or so favorites on this page. I haven’t updated this list in a long time & it seriously needs some of my favorites from current years added (I’ve added some at the end). But the truth is that I love movies from the 70s & 80s the most anyway… 🙂
