Movies II


Best Movies Ever


Great films can't be measured scientifically because the fact that you like or dislike a movie is rather subjective. The artistic greatness of films (and other works of art) can never be rated or quantified, although critics, reviewers, and fans still make ten best lists, hundred best lists, all-time greatest lists, favorite lists, etc. Over a long period of time, it has been found that the English-language films have repeatedly appeared on all-time best film lists and are often noted in the collective responses of film viewers.



Arguably, there is reasonable consensus by most film historians, critics and reviewers that these selections are among cinema's most critically-acclaimed, significant "must-see" films. These 100 choices were limited to English-language, theatrically-distributed, narrative feature films. Emphasis in these selections is purposely directed toward earlier, more classic Hollywood/American films (and other English-language films) than more recent films, although some recent films (and British films) are included.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK


A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently; there is a whispering in distant chambers, an unearthly hand presses the snib of the window, the latch rises. Ghosts were created when the first man awoke in the night.


J.M. Barrie
