My 30 Favorite Films

I recently bought a Blu-ray player just so I'd stop agonizing back and forth whether I really needed another home video format. In order to feel less like a stupid sucker I decided I would only buy movies on Blu-ray that I felt I would want to watch over and over again and not sell in a few weeks. That's when I drew up this list of my 30 favorite films of all-time to help rein in my Blu-ray shopping. I'm not saying these are the pinnacle of motion picture achievement only what I personally like and enjoy. This post is mainly for my own benefit as I want to see how much the list will change over time.
