CRAIG'S ALL TIME TOP 100 FILMS - THE BUILD-UP

It has taken such a long time to get this damn list done haha but after planning for what seems like forever, however I am pleased to reveal that I have finally managed to complete a very strong list. I will be the first to admit it's not perfect by any means. There's over 30 films on the list that are from the last decade alone. I left out 32 films which won the Best Picture Oscar including Midnight Cowboy, The Deer Hunter, Gandhi, Platoon, Rain Man, Titanic and No Country For Old Men! Other popular films didn't make the list such as Aladdin, The Matrix, Terminator 2, Casino Royale, Citizen Kane, Dirty Dancing, Edward Scissorhands, The Little Mermaid, Once Upon A Time In America, Pirates of the Caribbean, Raging Bull, Se7en, The Shining, Trainspotting and Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

And films that came VERY close to being on the list but were discarded due to whether any of them would be considered better than the classics on the list included Con-Air, Speed, Happy Gilmore, Love Actually and Mike Bassett: England Manager. In another time I probably would have included them but instead I have built up a solid group of films which I hope will be agreed with by you, the viewing public who in the last 14-15 months have taken some time out to read my reviews and lists and I do hope you continue to do so for many years to come yet. I worked hard with this (and the other Film Series lists) so I appreciate as much feedback as possible to keep me going as both a critic and a lover of film. 

In the meantime, LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!
