Top 100

We decided to spend a very rainy afternoon making our own little lists of what we term the top 100 movies. The subject of movie preference is of course highly subjective, though we know we have each included some moves that make most top lists. This was both a fun and painful project in narrowing down movies that we've enjoyed or found particularly influential. Alison couldn't pick one more to narrow down, so she lists 101 favorites. If you are interested in making your own list, we'd be interested in posting it.
