The Gourmand Film Writer Presents the 150 Great Films

"I was first asked to create a top 100 films in my sophomore year in high school when the AFI released their list of the 100 best American films. By the time I was a senior, I was embarrassed at the list I had produced. So, I decided to embark upon a year's long journey to create another list. This list is not a definitive list of the great films. It is not ranked because the rankings are completely arbitrary. It is in alphabetical order and represents the films that I believe have most affected me and impacted cinema. So, my bias towards certain genres and directors is certainly here. That being said, how I complied the original 120 films on this list list was to re-watch 400 films in one year. Going through and wheedling them down to 120. Since then, I have added to the list and, very recently, reviewed films that have come out in the past 25 years. Enjoy!" -gourmandfilmwriter.com
creator note: my bad that Manchurian Candidate (#84) should've been 1962 version, not 2004's
