Jeff's Top 50
Ladies and gents, here is the super-duper fabuloso magnifique Jeff Institute of Film Top 100 of all time. I have catalogued almost every movie ever seen and came up with this list, which of course is amended as I want. Also included at the end is my list of favorite actors and actresses.
Note: No movies are included from the last couple of years because the film's staying power has yet to be proven.
The movies have been rated on a few factors, including:
Movies watched repeatedly by Jeff
Quotes repeated consistently
Memorable first time viewing
Classic filmaking at its finest
(*If there is more than one in a number, then the movies are interchangeable, meaning that I could watch any of them and enjoy just as much. That's why it's really over 50. But who's being picky?)
