My Top 100 films are a list comprised of motion pictures I love re-watching. There are films I enjoyed which are considered amongst the greatest of all time, however, I desire to see them once; therefore, they are not on the list. Films on the Top 100 are movies I appreciate and love enjoying over and over because of many factors. Factors include, but are not limited to, direction, acting, cinematography, style, method of construction, set, history, story, and personal taste. These films impacted my life, writing, designing, outlook on life, moral construction, understanding of the world, and much more. Films come and go on this list. I still appreciate the films taken off the list; however, there is only space for 100. Overall, these films are on the list because they resonate with me and withstand the test of time as I journey through life.
My #1 film, Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) harkens back to the 1970s era of kung fu films, pays homage to this era, and mixes in modern imagery – all with vintage Tarantino style. Kill Bill Vol. 1 is an original piece created by Uma Thurman and Quentin Tarantino, originating from conversations during the making of “Pulp Fiction” (1994). I religiously enjoy this film because it features a director, actress, cast, and crew in their highest form of creativity and art. I’ve relished in the brilliance of this film 64 times and counting.
Bottom 30 Films
The criteria for Bottom 30 is the film is awful in terms of publicity, production, writing, characters,
acting, and/or directing. The film must take itself seriously and try to be "good" but ends up being awful; in other words, no parodies or satires are eligible.
