My Top 100 Movies Ever (So Far)

This is a continuation of this post and this post.

Yeah! The top 100!

The most interesting thing that happened when creating this list was me identifying just how much I loved ‘The Planet of The Apes’. If someone had asked me my top ten before using flickchart I don’t think I would have mentioned it. But through the voting process I really discovered my thoughts on it. It was very hard to vote against.

A last minute vote saw ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Return of the King’ change positions. It was too hard to pick, but I think the re-watch-ability and personal history with ‘Star Wars’ made it the only number one.

Wanted to share this with you all. Didn’t know about this technique, I had been doing this the long way it seems. I can image a similar thing being done on movies where they are waning to show empty cityscapes. Impressed.
