In an attempt to compile a modern list of my Top 100 Favorite Movies, I went to my IMDB ratings page and copied everything receiving a 5 or higher. From there, I went through the 150+ titles and eliminated which ones weren't that high on my list. It was very hard and a lot of great choices missed the cut.
But, this was a hasty version of Top 100, so I hope you don't judge so harsh. I tried to make it as concise as possible, but no guarantees. Yes, "Juno" is probably number one and yes, there are that many romantic comedies in the Top 15.
I apologize for not being diverse and scanning too much into early cinema or horror (though the original "Frankenstein" was in the running). I am trying to be a laureate and know as much as I can humanly can without losing touch with society.
And at the same time, I love the gift of opinion. It helps to make life and the conflicts fun. What made my list probably didn't make yours, but do notice that you develop my personality by these rankings. And I guess somehow, that means I'm a pop culture obsessed romantic.
Trust me, every single spot on there is subject to change, but without further interruptions, here is my hasty top 100 (to be edited at a later date)

I know a lot of you are wondering "How did 'Bring It On' beat those better titles?" I will be honest with you, I was blown away by how awesome the movie was. It was both satire and homage to the sport and had enough sass to make me laugh and think. Trust me, "Clueless" had the same effect for awhile.
And yes, I think I didn't include any Anne Hathaway work on here. Though I do want you all to know the segments with her in "Rachel Getting Married" are some of my favorite movie moments to not make this list.
And "Harvey"... it's with James Stewart and I demand you to see this perfection. Even though better movies have come out, I will keep it in my list simply to promote it.
