Favorite Movies from Other People
I'd been meaning to compile this list for a long time & hadn't even substantially begun to do so until I started this in march of '01 because it's such an enormously daunting task. What little I've entered here is organized alphabetically by whatever seems most important. Usually this means by the title; sometimes it means by the director. There are many, MANY movies I've loved in many, MANY ways & the beginning that I'm presenting here barely touches upon them. This will have to be an eternal work-in-progress. This has since been updated many times so it's not quite as incomplete as it was originally.
