The Big 50

As most of my friends know, I love movies. I watch a film almost every day or at any given moment when I have free time. I know movies; actors, directors, composers, cinematographers, visual effects studios, producers, the whole nine. I eat, shit and breathe cinema and I hope to one day get my foot in the door of the medium and showcase my talents towards the next generation of moviegoer. Which is what kinda led me up to this list in question. What most people ask me are what some of my favorite films are and I always go to my usual top three of all time and that is Batman Begins, American Beauty and The Incredibles. I love those films to death and that top three can never change no matter what sort of amazing film seems to break that trifecta. But then I begin to think about all the other movies I have watched and what films I feel that made an impact on my life in some shape or another. And that dear readers brings me to my top fifty films of all time (in MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION). Now be warned that this list may or may not have some of your favorite films, quite frankly the entire ranking of this list might baffle the shit out of you but I cannot state this as honest as I can: it's my list and not yours. Smiley face.

For the next 50 days (starting next Monday to be exact) I will be watching and reviewing my top fifty films of all time in ranked order. I'll consider this my love letters towards these films as to why I feel they are some of the best pieces of cinema I have ever laid eyes on. I will be adding clips, favorite scenes, best tearjerkers, awesome one-liners and everything in between. I'll post a trailer for each film before I post to get the general motivation to what I am writing about. It'll be up on here, Facebook and my Twitter feeds so just look out for those. Enjoy a trip down memory lane for this fan of films and embark on a journey into the mind of one die-hard movie lover, it's a trip well worth its weight in movie reels.
