My Favorite Movies (will update over time)

 I love movies.  As I mentioned in another post, I own hundreds of digital movies.  I am almost done with seeing all of the AFI Top 100 films.  And every year I try to see every Oscar nominee.  Needless to say, I have a long, long list of films that I love.  In the same vein as my long list of songs, I thought I'd capture as many as I could here.  As I think of them, of course.  I'll keep adding new ones too, if they fit the bill.
