Fav Movies List
This is a list of all my favorite movies, sorted by year of release. The first thing one will notice about this list is its length, as I have seen a lot of movies. This is by no means intended to be a list of movie "classics." Although many titles listed here are indeed films that are considered important for one reason or another, many, many others were released as program pictures or feature a particular director, actor, and/or actress whose work I like to follow. I'm also very fond of silents, "pre-Code" Hollywood, film noir, and 1930's gangster movies and musicals. Especial favorites are in bold. All time favorites are in red. Feature film production did not begin until circa 1912-1913, so no films made before that time are included in the list. This list will naturally need to be updated periodically as I become familiar with more movies. Titles are listed alphabetically by year.
