Top 100 Movies Of All Time (Jan, 2010)

Top 100 Movies Of All Time (Jan, 2010)

After seeing Avatar (brilliant BTW) and checking its position on IMDB’s Top 250 list, I was amazed to find a lot of very new films infiltrating the ranks of the much thought of classics. I’m trying to decide whether this is simply because they are new – in which case they are at the fore-front of peoples mind when voting on their top 250, or because a large minority of films being produced today are in fact the best films ever created? Below I give you the the Top 100 so you can make up your own mind.
