Film5000 Project
This website grew out of my enduring passion for watching and discussing movies. In 1999, when everyone was making '100 best lists' of everything, several of my cinephile friends asked me if I had written up a list of the hundred films I considered the best. I thought I could dash one off in minutes, but I quickly realized that a proper and thoughtful listing of the hundred films I truly believed were the greatest ever made would be a major undertaking. After a few days of thinking about it, I realized I was completely unqualified. I could make a list of my 100 favorite films (a project which in itself took years), but even though I've seen thousands of films in dozens of styles, I didn’t think I had watched enough movies to make a 'Best' list that was worth a damn.
