"And the hits just keep on comin'..."

OMW!!! I KNEW I loved movies, but this is ridiculous. Seriously. I definitely have an obsession. Maybe I need help. Okay...this is what I did, I started writing out the movies I love, and then I just decided to Google "The Top 100 movies of All Time" and take a look. OMW!! I had listed over 200 movies... then I thought, do I really LOVE them all???? So, I narrowed it down the best I could and here it is...I decided it would take me forever to list MY top 100 at the top, so I just put my top faves in bold...ABSOLUTE FAVES bold and italicized. And forget alphabetizing...I DO have a life (as mundane as it may seem), even though it looks as if all I do is watch movies. Of course, there's Idol, Lost, Medium, ELR etc. etc. etc. Have a ball...

Okay...I REALLY had a difficult time deleting movies from this list...feel free to add any you like best, in case I haven't covered them here!! The list is by no means exhaustive! I do love Disney, and Gene Kelly movies, and Christmas movies, but really felt I shouldn't list them ALL here...you get the idea. Not a fan of gorry nasty bloody movies either. You tell me...what are YOUR favorites?!?!!? And did I list ANY of them here in MY top 130??? :~)

Okay, BDILE...I did leave out The Notebook, and I really loved that one!

Oh, boy, later I'm going to have to really take time for this one. That's quite an eclectic group! It really brought back a lot of memories...
I loved most of your faves too--I'll just have to blog this whole thing and I'm ok with that cause I love to steal blogs.
love, jw
