Six through 10 I think is my favourite part of the list. Such a fun little mix of movies, with 2001 and Star Wars butting up against each other, bookended by two major classics, and then a bit of gruesome blockbuster history in the form of Jaws thrown in for good measure.

Overall I really like the whole list, there's something there for everyone I think, and it has a nice mix of big crowd pleasers like Die Hard, and more "unconventional" (I know there's a better word, but I can't think of it) fare like Spirited Away.

What interesting to me isn't the movies I picked that made the list, but how many that almost made my list that made the overall list (like 12 Angry Men, 7 Samurai, Big Lebowski, Once Upon a Time in the West, Alien, etc.).

When I first saw this tread, Top 25 Films of All Time, I thought that is like picking which of your children you love the most.

Then I thought only 25, when I own every movie available on DVD of IMDB's top 250 and every other top list I've ever seen.
I tried, first I tried movies by genre, then by decade, I just could not get a list down to 25.

In perusing my collection, for this list and with the idea of reducing my collection, one thing I did discover is that I have a lot of movies, DVDs, that I can not remember ever seeing or what they are about. I don't know whether the films were not that memorable or maybe I'm just getting old.

Hey, I don't have to buy any new DVDs  for while, I can just watch some of those. The trouble is after a few minutes into the movies, I remember them. I guess they are the ones to dump.

When it comes to movies, music or books, if they have been around for awhile or I read a review, I just have to see what others seen in them.

Try picking the sexiest babes in filmdom, (don't let your wife catch you). Last night I was watching films from the Joan Collins Collection, I forgot how hot she was in her day. In Seven Thieves, a crime drama, made in 1959, she plays a stripper. According to the commentary part the routines were was cut, to much for those times.
We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

Only one of my top25 selections have made it to 25. - 16. ("Clockwork Orange")


One more than me... and it's not as if my list was full of non-mainstream films!


Now it's three in 25. - 6.: "Clockwork Orange", "2001: Space Odyssey", "Casablanca". I'm not complaining about the results of course, just goes to show that I may be more inclined to the "old" stuff than most.

Sorry for the delay in the middle of the day. I had to go meet with a client. I'll post the last three with an hours break in between each, meaning the number one movie will go up at 8 pm EST.

Interesting list... many of the films not on my top 25 are actually quite enjoyable. (I have very few objections with any on our group list.)
If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.
