Finally, a definitive list that will unequivocally determine the best 100 films of all time. Well, not really. While this feature will inevitably have overlaps with the major lists out there (AFI’s 100 Greatest American Films and Sight & Sound’s Top Ten Poll), this list will attempt to bring into light a hundred films of high quality that have either been overlooked, misunderstood, or simply ignored on first viewing. That’s not to say Citizen Kane and Vertigo shouldn’t be recognized, and on occasion I will profile and review a film that everyone agrees should be on the list, such as Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. But where other lists also place A Clockwork Orange and Dr. Strangelove, I would propose The Killing as a film of equal brilliance and not just a simple B-movie noir. Is The Fly really not worthy of recognition because everyone always picks Frankenstein and The Exorcist as the quintessential horror film? Can’t High Fidelity find a spot next to The Apartment or Some Like It Hot? Those are just some examples of what you’ll find in the upcoming weeks and months that it will take to compile the list, so check back here every so often to find a new review. I can’t specifically say how many films will be reviewed every week simply because of the time and energy involved in maintaining the rest of the site, but I’ll try my best to get a couple out every few weeks. Of course, if you don’t agree or you have a problem with the upcoming films then please feel free to vent in the comments section. I’ll gladly respond back and tell you why you’re wrong. Enjoy.
