Alright, so two days ago my analytical side kicked in and I realized that my list was way too subjective and has no real basis. So instead I decided to compile five lists: AFI's 100 greatest movies, Entertainment Weekly's Top 100, filmsite.org's top 100, the 100 highest grossing movies (adjusted for inflation), and the sixty movies that won and were nominated for the most Academy Awards (without repeating those on both lists). There were 101 movies that repeated twice or more between these lists. Theoretically, these are the 101 greatest movies ever made according to critics, viewers, and the industry combined. Obviously I started this as the 100 movies in one year, however, given that there is only one extra movie, I will watch all 101 movies and then from there, decide if the 100 greatest films ever made are on that last.
Over the last month, as I've been compiling my list, there have been so many signs that I need to stay at school. For one, I've gotten a job working as a production assistant and assistant director on a grad student's thesis film. We start filming the third weekend in January and end the third weekend in February. Hopefully it goes well and will be a great experience to go along with my viewings.
Anyways, until then, here is the list of movies that will keep me preoccupied.
