Rules (please read!):

-You are to submit a list that will go towards determining the forums' all time 100 favorite films (duh).

This was the first line in the "Top 100 films of all time" thread. I voted based on my favorite movies - some of the classics are very good movies, but are certainly not among my favorites.
