The following list represents my top 100 favourite films of all time. Now keep in mind I don't necessarily mean these are the "best" films of all time, they are simply my personal favourites. For example on the list I have Face/Off ahead of Psycho. This doesn't mean I think that Face/Off is a better movie than Psycho, it's just that I like it more. You will probably look at the list and be shocked at how I could possibly even think of putting a certain film above another but at the end of the day it's my list. It took me a while to whittle the films down to a final 100, I ended up with 147 films that I love and it was very difficult for me to cut a lot of the films out.
So without further ado here is my top 100 favourite films of all time.
