(Off Topic) - My Top 100 Films of All Time

Ok, ok, this is a music blog, I know. I thought it might be fun to share my favorite movies as an "off-topic" post. While I do listen to far more music than I watch t.v. or movies, there are films I consider incredibly important to me on a personal level. You'll notice a definite trend in which kinds of films I'm into; I apologize for nothing.

Comment below on what movies are your favorites. Hope you enjoy the list!
