Top 100 Films

I had all but decided to abandon this particular blog of mine, when something someone said struck a chord. I was asked to name my favorite 'old movies' and this reminded me that I had actually constructed a 'Top 100' list a while ago and had never really posted it here. Therefore, I've decided to resurrect this blog, since movies are an age-old passion of mine.

I'm very proud of my list. It consists almost entirely of older films, movies made before the disintegration of 'proper' society-or times when things were pure, innocent, classic. Occasionally, a film is released in the present day that sticks with me and makes me reconsider this list. And then, after sleeplessness and much concentration- I alter THE LIST. It's a traumatic time, but I get through it.

I have been doing a few movie reviews on my fashion/ style website but am sticking to classic films for that blog. So this is a place to vent and discuss movies from other time periods or genres. Over the next few months, I'll be posting mini reviews of the following films, so feel free to check back if you are interested.
