Say hello to my little friends! A top 25 films and then lists of other faves. Of course hard to sort everything but ranking isn't what's important. Find, watch and love my darlings or lose faith in my taste and spit on my grave. Blade Runner is alright, for example - I've seen it more than once! One day twice, actually. And three days in a row.
