The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who do not do anything about it. When good people in any country cease their vigilance and struggle, then evil men prevail.

Top 100 Movies of All Time



Here’s my Top 100 Movies of all time. All of these are carefully placed in their appropriate rank. I have different reasons why I picked each of these movies. Citizen Kane for example didn’t make it to the number 1 spot because I don’t just look on how it was made or how you’ll react on the film after you saw it but I also focus on my personal view of what makes a film memorable and what message does the artistic touch of the film maker is trying to convey. A true great artist must be immune from other’s influence. A good movie should have a good script above all. The next essential factor is the director himself, followed by the actors, then the editor and the rest of the crew. In this case however, I slip in some of the movies I don’t usually prefer like Lawrence of Arabia, the movie 300 and The Sound Of Music because I like the Cinematography and the props and costumes or perhaps the special effects. Some of it is included in my top 100 because they pioneer something. What’s more important is that I feel like putting it there in the list. If you have any demand like you want Forrest Gump in it or The Lord of The Rings or Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, then make your own top 100 list! If you’re looking for other movies that aren’t here, that’s because I have a life and I have no plans on spending it watching movies all the time. I've seen almost every good or interesting movies out there but not all of it. I wish that I can explain you all the reason why I included some of your favorite movie in this list. If you’re not familiar with the title, google it. There are different reasons why I picked each of the movies that you saw in this list. I don’t have to explain myself. To be more precise, I’ve chosen these movies because if I am a prisoner or I was trapped in an island with a DVD player and a TV set and Electricity and a couch and beers and nachos and a remote for 10 agonizing years and I am oblige to put a hundred best movies of all time in my luggage and if I refuse they will feed me to the sharks, then I will take this top 100 with me.


Instead of repeatedly making a new topic about a new movie that I just saw (like all the bloggers I knew in the planet), this is what I prepared instead.
