Top Ten Movie Countdown Blogfest today, wherein participants list...well, the obvious. (C'mon, I don't really need to explain this one, do I?)
Narrowing down my favorite movies to my top ten only was a pain in the ass. I
hate having to limit myself and, really, the list coulda gone on and on and on. But I had to whittle down to ten, so I settled on using the following criterion: flicks which, if I see they're on telly, I absolutely MUST stop what I'm doing to watch. Even with this I could easily have gone past ten, but I did, in the end, restrain myself. You may notice a number of these are comedic-horror and/or set in New York (city or state, or featuring New Yorkers) and/or campy-kooky, which really speaks to the stuff I dig the most.
So here are my top ten, always-gotta-watch-'em movies as of today, in order by year released (click on the caption to read more about 'em):
