A Damn Good Decade: My Top 100 Films


Here is my mess of a list. It exists with no formula other than it looked good on the page. Top 10 are ranked, followed by the remaining 90 in alphabetical order. Excuse the overlap with Scott's list... we dig a lot of the same movies. If it's on the list, it's totally rentable.
