I agree with Spaulding’s comment about it being a tad early for a top 100 list. I thought that too. Looking at it, it seems to consist of a lot of great, well respected movies that you’ve seen and been impressed with. But seeing a “pattern” or a clear image of your taste in movies, is hard to find. Mainly because you only just started to dig into cinema.
As Spaulding, I certainly admire your drive and I’ve commented before on how impressive it is to see you explore so much of cinema so early. Huge points for that.
Drawing from your reply to Spaulding, I actually wish you would have been as creative with the idea behind the thread as with the write ups...
What I mean is that, as you said yourself, this might actually just be 100 movies you really love at the time. That could’ve been a cool no nonsense title for the list. “100 movies I really like in no definitive order” is not a bad title, or something like it. I think it would make more sense. Because a “Top 100” kind of has me expecting a carefully constructed list with tons of rewatches that you moved up and down for a few years until you finally found a decent order.
But then again, I do agree with CR too, that one may never actually end up doing one because it’s basically an impossible task. So I’m definitely happier to see you doing one than not. And while the title is basic your mindset seems to be actually what it should be. So it’s all good.
Please continue. I will follow along no matter what.
