Harry Lime's List

Tools    





Okay, here's my list of 100 films. Originally I was trying to find movie posters to go with my list on google image when I was directed to this site, and as a result I joined up and became a member. I dropped the movie poster idea though, like most of the images better. I'm sorry there's no write up on these films, I'm not much of a reviewer. I don't really want to get into why I relate to Travis Bickle or Harry Lime anyways. At first I was going to just post them in chronological order, seeing as I've changed this list many times over the past eight years (probably nine by now) but instead figured I'd give it some sort of order. I have been really bored lately, and as a result made another 100 on top of this one, maybe I'll post that later.

In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."



Welcome to the human race...
Well, I'll certainly read the whole thing, but I worry about the fact that you relate to characters like Travis Bickle or Harry Lime. Hopefully you'll explain that a bit better later.
