theskull42's "Top 300 Films"

Add to my lists | Print this list

A personal list of my top 300 all-time favorite films.

December 2009 Update: Recent ejections include "Touchez Pa Au Grisbi" (1954), "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938), "Smiles of a Summer Night" (1955) and "While the City Sleeps" (1956)

To clear up any issues, "Diabolique" is 1955, "The General" is 1927, "Metropolis" is 1927, "The Women" is 1939, "The Vanishing" is 1988, "Hamlet" is 1996, "Cape Fear" is 1962, "Black Christmas" is 1974, "Halloween" is 1978, and "Kill Bill" is not separated into two films, but it takes up two spaces. I’m unable to vote one over the other, but they are two films, so I have them ranked together as 76 AND 77.
