Here’s the complete list of 193 movies that I think are essential viewing. Note that not all of my favorite movies are included, nor are all the movies included my favorites. I’m going to whittle this down to an even 100 for a final list of MUST-SEE MOVIES. It’s in caps because I really consider them must sees. In the meantime, just consider this list “Recommended Viewing”. <\/p>\n
