As there are a lot of people's top 50 lists kicking about the reviews forum I thought it was about time that I had a stab at it.
These films are my personal favourites but not necessarily the films that I think are the so called "greatest" ever made.
Each film will be listed individually even if part of a trilogy/series. This is because I don't agree with listing whole series of films as 1 entry for the reason that not all parts of a series are equally as good. For example I love LOTR and Star Wars but I don't watch each part an equal number of times or rate each film the same.
Along the way I may include 1 or 2 small lists such as best opening/endings to a film so bear with me.
Before I start here is a quick list of films that gave me a real headache about whether or not they would make it. I will wrap a spoiler around it just incase anyone doesn't want to know what films I haven't included.
And Here We Go!
