It’s been so long since I blogged that I’m a little embarrassed to even show up now. However, a friend posted this question on Facebook yesterday, “To prompt some discussion, wondering what is your favorite movie, or movies for people like me who can’t narrow it down?” I don’t want to be one of those people who posts something ridiculously long in someone’s thread. When I see people do that, I wonder if they’ve escaped from a guarded cell somewhere.
I keep lists of everything. I always have. I’ve even been known to keep a running list of my lists. It’s quite possibly just one more manifestation of obsessive-compulsive disorder, or it could be that I just have a lot of things on my mind and not enough room to store them there.
So then, in no particular order, here’s my list of the Best. Movies. Ever!. Your mileage may vary.
