Rankings: BEST FILMS OF ALL TIME

A lot of people ask me what I think the greatest movie of all time is, and considering your personal opinion and taste, any given individual's answer is going to be different. Once it gets into what I believe the top ten films of all time happen to be, things become slightly more clear, but it's still a difficult decision to make. So what I've done is comprise a comprehensive list of the top 150 films I've ever seen. These films are taken from the 1521 films I've seen to date, and I think they give a rather eclectic range. I've written reviews for some of the films, so you'll be able to check out my in-depth thoughts on the subject. That being said, enjoy this list of the best films of all time (according to me).

Rankings: WORST FILMS OF ALL TIME

Just like there are always going to be lists about the best films of all time, there are also going to be lists chronicling the worst films ever to grace the silver screen. I am no different in that I have created a similar list for these bad flicks, and I think I've created quite a comprehensive list. These films are taken from the 1521 films I've thus far had a chance to see, and I've provided links to reviews where applicable. I hope you enjoy the list!
