The Top 150

July 20, 2011 | In Film

Piles and piles of recommends. I haven’t seen a lot of these but there are a lot of my personal faves on here as well.

So, this is really big for me. This is way more important to me than any playlist or anything like that I’ve made. As you guys know, I’m a huge cinephile, and I’ve spent many-a-night trying to find old films on DVD in order to complete this. Over the last two weeks, I’ve began to compile a list. This isn’t the final, definitive version, but its the one that I’ll keep for now. These are the top 150(9) films that through the years, have helped shape me as a person, and really left something with me. Either that, or they’re just really really fucking good. I’m sure I’ve forgotten  at least one film though, which is upsetting.

It Purges From Within

The darkness bleeds violent sights
It purges from within
Death, it holds you in its arms
And kisses you goodnight
