-Introduction-

Last year around this time on my blog, I posted a list of my top 10 favorite films of all-time in response to Sight & Sound magazine’s 10-year annual poll of the greatest films ever made according to the votes of participating critics and filmmakers. Readers can view my list again by clicking here. This year, I wanted to expand it to 100 for those who are interested. Also, my answer is yes to anybody wondering If the number of my favorite films of all-time possibly exceeds that of a zillion. As one can see below, I have decided to start with number 100 and going down from there (i.e. 99, 98 and so forth). Before I go any further, I will not tolerate any insults or negativity towards numbers 1, 8, 18, 24, 25 and 99 on here. So I am politely asking all of you to not bash them. Now, without further ado, here are my top 100 favorite films of all-time. Enjoy 🙂
