So seems I did my fave books last weekend, might be time to name my fave films now!
I’m calling my fave movies the ones I repeated watched like again and again, not anything else! These are the ones, well the 50 that entertained me the most over many years and that’s about it so does that make sense? Trying to included something from every style of film but it’s top heavy on oddball stuff, pretty much and if your going to call it anything? Oddball might be the best word to use?
It includes films from 1977 to 2012 with 90’s/2000’s movies having my biggest views. Directors David Lynch and Wes Anderson both tied with four films each and as one of the main actor it might be Bill Murray who wins with three plus has some cameos/smaller parts too!
Alphabet order and NOT ranting or numbering them at all. So here’s what I watch the very most over all my bloody years on earth…

OK, I’ll be the first to say maybe not the greatest movies ever made but I enjoy them so much and that’s how I listed them and do love them all. Some very big names directors, male and female actors did miss out but 50 is very small number once you get going, you know? Maybe should have gone back in time more, past the late 70’s too? Maybe one day I’ll also blog about these films in more detail! Who what’s to say anything about all that? Anyone going share your fave or most watched movies will me now?
Cheers 🙂
