I like movies, watching them in the theatre or at home on DVD's. My movie-going has abated somewhat in recent years, but I still see something like 4-7 movies a month.

A note about the rating: it may or may not have any bearing on how good the movie was. It's an extremely subjective combination of how much I liked the film and how good I thought it was at the time. Your mileage may vary.

The list below gathers my favorites in no particular order. Meanwhile, the titles of the columns are clickable if you want to sort.
