After much internal debate, I've finished my top twenty movie list. In order of preference, even. The up-to-date list is here (cool site, by the by) but if you're too lazy to click through:

1. Magnolia
2. Days of Being Wild
3. Brazil
4. Casablanca
5. City of God
6. Bullet in the Head
7. Miller's Crossing
8. Crash
9. Breakfast at Tiffany's
10. Ronin
11. Blue Velvet
12. Goodfellas
13. The General
14. Dead Man
15. Full Metal Jacket
16. The Incredibles
17. Taxi Driver
18. Peking Opera Blues
19. Glengarry Glen Ross
20. The Grifters

Yeah, I like genre movies. Possibly I like guy movies too; be your own judge. Yes, Miller's Crossing is the best Coen Brothers movie. I don't know if Days of Being Wild is the best Wong Kar Wai movie, but it's the best one I've seen -- I understand that In the Mood for Love may supercede it when I finally see that, though. Crash is the best Cronenberg movie because it's the best cast he's ever had, although Videodrome is a very close #2.

There are indeed a lot of movies I haven't seen.

Hm. Ymdb is a cool site, but trying to get the movies in order is a very, very slow process. I wish they set it up like the netflix queue, where I could just type in a number for each. I know I'm missing some movies, but I'm working on my list here.

I'm trying it out now. I wish it gave you some kind of guidance (like Amazon's or Netflix's "if you liked x you mjight like y"). Right now it's a hit or miss kind of thing as I try to remember movies I liked. I'm sure 5 minutes after I finish I'll think of one I missed.

I went through the top 800 movies in their system, and that helped spark my memory. The "users with lists similar to yours" feature didn't help - it would be great if I needed to round out my top 100, though.

I'm absolutely certain there's one particular movie I'm forgetting, but I'm stumped.

Also, I really wish it would store 30 movies, but only publicly display 20, so that I don't have to worry about "if I knock this off my top 20, but later decide I want to kill something else instead, will I remember it?"
