    I *LOVE* movie lists

    Time magazine very recently posted their list of the top 100 films of all time. Readers should know that I love movie lists. After all, it was AFI's list of 400 nominees (that would later be pared down to their top 100 of all time) that got me started on my true obsession with film.

    Time's list (http://www.time.com/time/2005/100movies/the_complete_list.html) doesn't limit itself to American fiction, which makes it's inclusion of a certain film even more mind boggling.

    I'm not going to comment on films that should be included. There are so many worthwhile films that it's much easier to nitpick about the ones that shouldn't.

    "Finding Nemo" shouldn't be included. Plain and simple. It's the worst Pixar movie I've seen. What about "Toy Story" or "Monster's Inc." or "The Incredibles?" All of them were much better movies, if you were to pick a Pixar title (although I'd be hard pressed including any of those in a top 100 list).

    It's an odd list and a very ecclectic one. I suggest you all check it out. If nothing else, it'll spark some interest and curiosity about some of the more obscure titles on there.

      A brief glimpse at the list was enough to guarantee that any further effort on my part would only make me frustrated. It's interesting to see certain foreign titles listed, but I think the point of lists is to get people all hot and bothered and talking about film, and I'm just not in the mood to be hot and bothered right now.
