Here's the movies I voted for in the OFC Top 100 list...

Online Film Community's Top 100 list. Some people think the list is a little geeky but I think that was kind of the point with it. When we say it's an 'alternative' list to the AFI's, we meant this list had some passion, some soul and was chosen by movie writers and bloggers who chose the films that meant something to them. I can't really speak for anyone else but I know myself I just chose movies that felt right. The movies I would look at my DVD collection and say, 'yeah those are the one's I couldn't live without'. The movies that you find yourself re-visiting time and time again and I went for movies that I wanted to showcase as the movies that make-up me. I know I certainly didn't pick the Top 100 best movies of all time but I chose the movies that meant the most to me... and I don't see how I can be criticised for that. Anyway, here is the full list for you guys (bear in mind, there was a Top 100 nomination section where I sent in my Top 100 movies first, and then it got wittled down to a pool of 502, so this 100 comes from that pool...notice Godfather at 40, I went with what felt right for me) MY LIST 1.
