100 Favourite Films- By Michael J. Carlisle

100 Favourite Films

Most reviewers have a list of their favorite media, even IMDB has a (flawed) top 250 based on ratings. Below is The Good, The Bad, and the Critic's subjective list of 100 favorite films, likely to be quietly updated every couple of months. I don't dare say that they're the "best" and I must admit that I haven't seen every film ever made so many of your favorites will likely be omitted due to ignorance. Each title has a link that will direct you to the Goodbadcritic's review of the film. Enjoy!
