films. lists. rankings.

On this hallowed page lies every film I’ve seen that I remember at least moderately well. I’ve cut some that have faded from memory: this is usually due to their ineptitude or banality, but sometimes, it’s just been too long. Use this list for what you willsuggestions & recommendations; fodder for discussion & debate; toilet paperand feel free to email me with any thoughts.

The color coding represents its approximate quality level, with red being reserved for my absolute favorite masterpieces. All movies in color are recommended; ones below are not necessarily dreck by any means, but all are in the mixed or lower camp for me (at this time, anyway).

Browns should also be noted; they can give hours of guilty pleasure with friends. Enjoy!
