http://www.listsofbests.com/list/51021 Inspired by Wokelstein's list, this is a running list of my favorite films. I'm only including ones that I've watched/re-watched since the beginning of 2007 (when I began keeping track), with plans of going through all my faves and adding them in time, picking up new finds along the way. The title "Four Star Cinema" implies a certain standard of quality, I guess, but I make no apologies for personal biases here. Rest assured, these are favorite films that I also happen to consider Great, and generally the ones that I'll evangelize to friends, own on DVD and watch multiple times. To be updated slowly but, hopefully, frequently. ---- Added October '09: Back To The Future (Zemeckis, 1985) The Blair Witch Project (Myrick and Sanchez, 1999) Thelma and Louise (Scott, 1991) Wed, 11
