A Thought on Movies...

Well, I can't even remember the last time I did this thing, and I suppose it's been equal parts busyness, laziness, and indifference. But, fortunately enough, all great things in life will find a way to prevail. Enjoy.

So the wife and I got to talking about movies, and she asked me what my Top 3 films were. I told her, and then she bumped up the question to my Top 10. It took me a little longer, but I came up with it. When I started to walk away, she told me to hold up, and wanted to know my Top 20 (yeah, I know this is ridiculous, but we're a couple of nerds and we love each other). So I got to thinking...it's been about forever and a year since I blogged, and what better topic to resurrect this thing on than Movies. So I decided to completely out-do all of her lists and post my personal Top 100 films of all time. Now this is totally my own personal preference, so there may be movies that some of you don't like, and others that you may think flat out suck, but frankly, I don't really care. If you want to let me know one that you feel belongs, by all means, or just write your own (albeit not as good) list. But I digress. So, without further ado, "The Matt Gooch Top 100 Films of All Time"!
