Below is a list of my favorite 300 films in order. Thanks to IMDb's ranking system, I have a complete list of movies that I've rated on a scale of 1 to 10, and everything below is either an 8 or above. Nos. 1-27 are 10/10s, Nos. 28-147 are 9/10s, and everything else is an 8.
Keep in mind any list like this is completely subjective; any given day that I try to compile it I might find one or two films that I think should be lower. And I know the concept of lists like these have limits: how rank an epic film like "Lawrence of Arabia" and a comedy like "This is Spinal Tap" on the same list?
But, to quote the great philosopher Crow T. Robot, "Oh, bite me, it's fun!" :D
