Okay, first I realise that this list is full of movies of a recent vintage - and for some reason I feel a need to defend the fact that I love old movies and am more surprised than anyone that so few older films have made it on to my list! But somehow, that's the way the list has worked out.

Second, you'd think a guy like me would certainly have King Kong higher on the list. But at least now that I've expanded to 40, it appears on the list!

I've also finally created my approximate Top 100 Films list. It's only approximate because after my top 30 I don't have them ranked as strictly. And when you click on the active titles on the list to the left (where they exist), you'll be taken to a page about that movie with my detailed comments. Enjoy the film!
