Expanded list: My Top 50 Favorites (Sidenote: "Greatest" vs. "Favorite")
I'm an aspiring movie buff. Maybe I've already reached that stage. Still many, many more to see before I'm sure about that, though. Maybe someday, when I have the time, I'll make a comprehensive listing of movies I've really liked, with some commentary or review. In the meantime, the below shall suffice for my purposes.
