Close to seeing every movie ever made (if there were only 250 movies)
I found a handful of new favorites this month while knocking down what remained of the Flickchart Top 250. Sanjuro, Riffifi and Stand By Me all entered my own Top 250, while Bicycle Thieves held onto to its exalted position upon re-watching it for the first time in decades. Diabolique and Repulsion also moved into the upper echelons of my chart.
Here's how all 20 of the movies I watched this month ranked for me:
Flickchart is a movie-ranking website that helps users generate a list of their favorite movies by forcing them to choose favorites from random pairings. It's free to join, and a fun way for list-obsessed data-junkies to feel like they are doing something while actually accomplishing nothing!
You can search for them on CanIStream.it, but we like it when you click on our Amazon links. Some of these maybe be available through Hulu's Criterion Collection.
