100 Films

Saw this over at Asterisks site (http://blogaboutnowt.blogspot.com), it's a list of the top 100 films as decided by one glossy publication or another.

What's been done here is that films that have been viewed be myself have been highlighted red and those that I haven't seen are the usual white. Hopefully this will lead to you feeling like you know me a little better, it's also a piss easy post for me.

I would recommend that other bloggers do the same, cut and paste this into your blog making the necessary alterations then we can all ohh and ahh at what we learn, which is probably just that the Matrix was a fluke and the sequels were bollocks.

Edit

The hilarious blog, Andrews World has taken part in this one hundred films idea, a link can be found, funnily enough, in the links section.
The point has been raised that some fantastic films have been left off this list and im inclined to agree. It might not however be due to any failure on the list makers part, im thinking that perhaps one hundred is simply too small a number to name every film of importance/greatness. I'll put up a list of my own if I can't think of anything else to do (so expect it by the end of the week).

Thanks for the name-check, Wanted Man. Think I'm gonna blogroll you, since I come here every bloody day anyway!

Nice one. Glad to hear you're enjoying the blog.

I've nicked the idea off asterik too. I reckon this list is American which explains why so many great films are missing. You have to see Apocalypse Now if you get the chance, it's a classic.

Apocalypse Now is almost at the top of my 'to watch' list. I've seen Platoon if that helps?

I love Platoon and Vietnam war films in general. Full Metal Jacket is amazing too...
