This is a list of my favourite 150 movies (at least for this week ) I'm not saying these are the best movies of all time in terms of box office success, or critical acclaim, or awards, or Rotten Tomatoes scores, or any objective measure - they are simply the movies which have given me, personally, the most enjoyment. Despite giving the list much thought, I probably forgot some and will mentally kick myself later!

I don't plan on debating with anyone their worth. My aim is that the list might encourage you to watch some of these movies again, or watch one or two that you haven't seen yet.

I tend to like movies which explore the extraordinary: either an extraordinary person in an ordinary situation, or an ordinary person in an extraordinary situation, and often a little of both. Thus I tend to favor the genres of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and occasionally action, drama and comedy.

I'll post 25 titles at a time.

I know this is super pedantic but 150-125 is 26 films not 25. It doesn't matter it's just a pet peeve of mine as people do that all the time. Another one is calling say the 1500's the 15th Century (1501-1600 before someone points it out haha) when it's the 16th

Anyway i like some of those films and dislike some. The Dark Knight is probably my favourite there.

The characters in Ladykillers are bold and memorable. The movie makes me laugh. It's not a formulaic movie, but rather a movie about a group of anti-heroes who get what they deserve in the end. Tom Hanks's acting is great - he really disappears into this role.
