100 movies, 1990-2014 reset, and my Sight and Sound list

Well that didn't work.

Let's try again. Rather than try and write 100 essays about what I view as my 100 favorite movies from 1990 to 2014, let's try this in best of the year form. I will try to get this done quickly. The list was completed last year and I want to get this posted.

What got this started was to visit the films of my adult lifetime. I saw this as a round figure that worked for a time period. It also was meant as a tribute to the end of the Leonard Maltin Movie Guide, a book of which I bought every edition for over 30 years.

Since then, my best friend posted a revised list of what he views as the 10 best films of all time. This has become known in film circles as the Sight and Sound list, named for the British magazine which every 10 years in the year ending in 2 surveys a wide range of critics and filmmakers to get a definitive list. Of course, if it was definitive it wouldn't change every ten years.

Here is the revised list of my best friend, Eric Robinette:

For the record, the list (without his descriptions) is:
10. City Lights (1931)
9. Casablanca (1942)
8. The Wizard of Oz (1939)
7. Pinocchio (1940)
6. Raging Bull (1980)
5. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
4. Singin' In The Rain (1952)
3. Citizen Kane (1941)
2. A Hard Day's Night (1964)
1. Vertigo (1958)

The our friend Allison mentioned her list from awhile ago: http://thereelgouda.blogspot.com
10. Amadeus (1984)
9. Rebecca (1940)
8. Chinatown (1974)
7. There Will Be Blood (2007)
6. Casablanca (1942)
5. Singin' In The Rain (1952)
4. Fight Club (1999)
3. Citizen Kane (1941)
2. Rear Window (1954)
1. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

My all-time list was prepared in 2004. Here that is:
10. Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
9. 12 Angry Men (1957)
8. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964)
7. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
6. Do the Right Thing (1989)
5. Airplane! (1980)
4. Fantasia (1940)
3. Singin' In The Rain (1952)
2. Citizen Kane (1941)
1. Schindler's List (1993)

A few thoughts:

All three of us have Citizen Kane and Singin' In The Rain on our lists.

I just gave away the end of my 1990-2014 list.

Sorry, Allison, but I do not have The Shawshank Redemption or Fight Club in my list. I do have There Will Be Blood, although that is not the highest ranked film for its director.

Now, to the main event ...
