Shane's Top 100 Movies
"Almost There..."
(2004-3-24 -
back to top)

By dividing every category again, we are almost there. The next list will have the final ranking. Any guess yet as to my #1 movie?

I realize in my ranking that there is a small factor of nostalgia. Films I loved as a kid have a bit of bias in my current favorites just because I loved them as a kid. I tried hard to eliminate this if the film I liked as a kid no longer holds my interest. However, if I still like it, I thought a little bias towards the top just because I've liked it since I was a kid was okay.
