Our assignment was simple: to list our 100
favorite movies. Not what we considered the
"best" movies, and certainly not what the
universe at large considered the most respectable. We're
not the AFI and we're not VH-1. We tried to be as honest
as possible, to list those movies we most love, whether
they were completely arty or completely candy--as long as
we were crazy about them.
