For The Love Of Cinema

Jan 31, 2010 03:17

This will probably be the single longest thing I will ever post to my journal (With the exception of my "Hai I've been gone for a year and a half" post).

As most of you should know, One of the things that I like to do the most is watch movies. I don't fancy myself a film critic (I'll leave that up to my friend David), but I like to think that, as with most things me, I have a pretty impeccable taste in films.

So tonight, I decided to sort through my rather large catalog and begin documenting exactly what I have. It's a handy thing to have, as it keeps me from having to pull down one of the binders and risk having an avalanche or a damned collapse (Shelves are stuffed full). While I was in the middle of typing it up, I started thinking "Maybe I should post this". Not a decision to be made lightly. It takes balls of stainless steel to open up your personal taste in something like movies or music to critique. Most people would scramble around, trying to hide the more embarrassing items, and maybe in the end fudge the list a bit so it looks like their tastes are "normal" or "Average". But, as lying is something that I have vowed never to do, there is absolutely no way that I would try to hide anything.



So here is a list of 650 of the films in my personal library. Not everything is listed (I removed television series and most of the Anime), and some things have been omitted (Hey, even *I* have some ripe turds in my collection that I would rather not air out), but in all it is a fair representation of my kind of entertainment.

Some of the films belong to my wife and son (Try and see if you can figure out which ones), and some are remakes/have remakes/different films with the same name (In which case I have labeled the films by year, to avoid confusion).

Films marked with an (F) indicate that it was Fan-made

So, as you can see, even though I love the classics, I also loves me some trash. Proof that movie snobs are human after all! :D

Most of my top 100 of all-time are present, but I do not own all of them (Something I am working on correcting).

So, is anyone else brave enough to throw caution to the wind and post your collection, turds and all?

movies that mostly don't suck
