100 Movies

It’s an old meme, and I’m a sucker when it comes to showing stuff off, like what I listen to or what I’ve seen, and this is no different… I originally saw it on Neil Turner’s site, Gordon McLean has done it recently too, so now it’s my turn. The list might be a bit out of date as I copied it fron Neil’s site but limited it to 100 as opposed to 250…

The ones I’ve seen are in bold, the italics are the ones I own in one way or another…
