A Disaffected Moviegoer's Top 10
Category: Movies...

I feel a certain obligation to link to Jim's post of his Top 10 Movies, if for no other reason than I challenged him to do it.

Of the movies he listed, only two would likely make my list (if I were to make one, that is...I'm actually working on a meme with a more noble theme): the LOTR trilogy (I agree with Jim; it counts as one) and "The Empire Strikes Back." But, as I observed in a comment to his post, his descriptions of why he chose each movie are what make the list interesting...more so than the films themselves.

Thus, the other reason for linking to his post is more useful: it's a good read, especially if you share Jim's perception that Hollywood ran dry of inspiration a few years ago.

What's your top ten movie list, Eric?

errr... did I miss it, or is it part of the forthcoming meme you're developing?

Mr. Freen, other than the "Top 10 Scary Movies" list, I've never attempted something like this, nor do I expect to. If I make any new movie lists, they'll be in a similar niche mode, like "Top 10 Movies I Like That Might Surprise You," or "Top 10 Movies That Nobody But Me Liked."
