Intro Post - My 100 Favorite Movies...

Meet Me, Myself and I... (Sad thing is I was only A.D. and  Script Supervisor for this shoot).

Well, this is my first post for a movie review or movie jibba jabba or movie mahflahblah blog. I've been into films for as long as I can remember and have been studying film and want to work in the film or music industry... I've been writing full-length scripts since age 13 (of course, my first few were crap, but I like to think I'm improving), I started with working out short films since age 14, I made my first 20 minute film recently (not too happy with the final product, but it was sort of a haphazard-esque shoot and chaotic in my life). So basically I'm a cinephile at heart, but I have a lot to fill out before I'm ready to produce a quality film...

• Just One of the Bros (A short project for Ethics in Film) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maw2h5jH4I0&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
• The Guide to College Dating (Wacky work hugely improvised for a project) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qebre-2Z6to&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
• A Prank (Concept for a series idea between my friends and I) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVEt14hTJUk&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
• Session: The Backup Life (watch at your own risk, it's not that good, save for the actors) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYqwzlwF-EU

But, sort of a side effect of being a cinephile, I'm a huge moviebuff. After having posted so many facebook notes on my opinion towards movies, I decided to go ahead for a blog about them. What better beginning post than my 100 favorite movies that I have so far seen in my life? So, here it is.

It's definitely subject to change as I watch more films, but I've seen a great already in the so far 19 years I've been alive and it was not an easy selection. It's also of course my opinion, rather than a mandate of the greatest movies of all time. As such, a couple of odd balls in there, mainly well-known pictures... I think my love for neo-noirs, generational stories and horror films really shows here...
