The Internet’s 100 Favourite Films

← Back to 100 Favourite Albums

There is no shortage of lists proclaiming “the greatest films ever made” out there — indeed, i have one of my very own. This one, however, is a little different: much like my attempt for albums, it takes the top ranked films from seventeen different film-fanatic websites around the world* and puts them all together to determine… wait for it… The Internet’s 100 Favourite Films™! I have, admittedly, done some jiggery-pokery with the weighting of different sources to make the list a wee bit more representative; this is probably the best you’re going to get unless you want the whole list to be taken up by Marvel and Disney. ;)
