My 450 Favorite Films Ever-A List I'll probably Never Finish

4 2001: A Space Odyssey

So much has been said and written about this one since its release in 1968. There's little I can contribute to the conversation with the exception of this statement: what vision Kubrick had. Few films dare, much less even attempt, to tackle the themes this film presents. This movie makes other movies feel small in ambition and scope. Man's destiny lies beyond the stars, and Kubrick was well-aware of that. Masterpiece, masterpiece, masterpiece...

3 Mulholland Drive
For my money, the best Lynch. When I was a younger man I loved this film but, deep down, I wanted it to make logical sense. As a wiser man, I now don't care about any meaning. This film is the closest I've come to living inside a dream.

2 Blade Runner
My previous number 1 film.


See you all in another two years when I unveil my actual # 1!

Holy crap did I fall behind! I'm going to wait until you finish and then go over it.
