this actually isn't even the whole list
but i decided to pare it down a bit
to make this page more manageable

the 1990s are probably my top decade;
turns out some of my favorite movies were made in 1995 and 1996.


my top number one most favorite movies of all time are
highlighted in green.

those are movies i've probably seen dozens of
times and will always sit down and watch if they're on
