Top 100 Films (in chronological order)
Here's my 100 most favourite films... Firm favourites, classics, and films that really do stand tall over all the other crap. And what a lot of crap there is out there. Some of the choices you will undoubtedly question... For example, there's no way 'Fear & Loathing...' or 'Withnail & I' are structurally coherent films, but they have enhanced my existence on this planet (many, many times over!) And what could possibly be wrong with that? Good, I'm glad you agree. Now then...
