More Lists

The Greatest Films has a list of the top 100 films. There is a sequel to this list and I believe the author is working on the next 300 films. Tim Dirks writes very comprehensive reviews and recaps of the movies, teasing out interesting details and including great quotes. It's an excellent site, and I remember using it frequently when I was taking film courses.

I've actually only seen forty-five of the first one-hundred -- that's worse than the AFI 100 List! Oh well, I know I have a lot of "classic" movies to watch.
