So I guess maybe you’re wondering what my Greatest Movies of All Time list would look like.

Well, first I must say that it wouldn’t be ranked unless of course someone was going to kill me unless I ranked it.

But here it is at this moment, and it changes constantly FYI. Keep in mind many of these movies I saw at earlier ages. But as much as you might like me to, it’s not realistic for me to rewatch of them to reconfirm or change my opinions. I don’t have the time.

And in no way am I trying to suggest that my individual list is better than the above list. It clearly isn’t if only because I am only one man, and haven’t seen remotely as many films as the collective that participated in the above list. Well, and because there are so many more movies.

[Editor’s Note: Finally please note that Riley Haas has seen a lot more movies since he published this list, so it is totally wrong.]
