Just thoroughly looked over your list, Skep. Looks awesome, I've written down a bunch that I'd like to see. Today I made my top 100 on my word document. Looks good and is a lot different from my top 100 from 3 years ago. Just think I need a bit more sorting and I may be good to go.

Thank you very much. :) I hope you enjoy the ones you've written down. Any you're particularly looking forward to catching?

Looking forward to seeing your new list!

Congrats for finishing your list, Skepsis. Eternal Sunshine is also one of my favourite films of all time. Now I have to see Super and The Savages.

Good for you for putting Eternal Sunshine in the top spot.

It's definitely one of my favorite movies, and reading your review of it reminded me that Charlie Kaufman is my favorite screenwriter.

Have you watched Synecdoche, New York? I find it one of the most fascinating movies ever - one that unfolds further and more delightfully with each re-watching. It's a highly underappreciated film. Too bad, because Kaufman is having trouble coming up with funding for his second screenwriting-directorial combo.

Yes, but only once and a while ago now, I have to revisit it. Kaufman and Hoffman are a match made in heaven, two of my favourite people working in film. I did like it (I think I gave it
at the time) but I definitely need to give it a rewatch soon. I feel like it has a lot of good stuff under the surface that I haven't discovered yet.

Obviously I find your number one to be a fantastic film. I haven't seen either of the honorable mentions, but I'll be seeing Purple Rose soon. Heavenly Creatures is on my watchlist though.

Just saw Eternal Sunshine (finally). I loved it! Definitely one of the most unique and moving romantic dramas I've seen.

I saw it in the cinema last year! It is an amazing experience to watch it on a cinema screen...almost religious. I guess epics are made for the big screen after all.

Nice to see some love for KINSEY...Liam Neesom and Peter Saarsgard were amazing in that movie.
