Movies


So, JohnL saw this list of the 100 best movies of all time from 2 movie critics at Time. He did his usual bold movies he has seen, italics for ones he intends to see. Rob the Wonder Llama does the same thing here.

To me, it's a fairly strange list, with a bunch of movies that are unfamiliar to me. So, bold for ones I've seen, italics for ones I intend to see, small print for ones that have no name recognition at all.
