MY TOP 100 FILMS - THE LONGLIST OF 300

Over the last few weeks, I have spent a good time trying to fix up several film lists to show my undisputed love for film, and it won't be long before the first official list comes out. In the meantime I have chosen to release a long-list of 300 films that will be competing for my official Top 100, with many quality films involved though there are a few that will surely gain a lot of WTF's including Meet the Fockers and Get Smart. But hey, most of these films have played a key role in my growing love for the movies and I am proud of the ones that have gained their place on the long-list though it'll be even more difficult to cut it down to just 100. I hope there's a few opinions for people to share as I look to continue the next few weeks of chopping and changing as my film lists start to become public. May the force be with you!
