So I finally decided to make a top ten list of films. This goes a bit against the grain, as I dislike creating hierarchies. Actually, I dislike making decisions, but the first one sounds more principled. Anyway, I decided I could win over my egalitarian/indecisive self by making a
rolling Top Ten List, and dating it so I could chart my level of pretentiousness and hipster irony quotient.
Top Ten Films as of January 25, 2008(In no particular order, and with an attempt to find some middle ground between "films I think are the best" and "films I enjoy the most")
- All About Eve
- Blow-Up
- Harold and Maude
- Hedwig and the Angry Inch
- Lawrence of Arabia
- Mulholland Drive
- Peeping Tom
