MOVIES BY THE DECADE: Finale - Top 100 Films of All Time

[johnns]

We've covered the 60s through the 90s by decade. Most of the responses came in the threads reviewing the more recent years, so I'm going to skip ranking the 50s backward by decade and conclude this series by doing what I was leading up to in the first place: ranking my personal top 100. Speaking for myself, going through each decade was a very helpful approach to compiling this list. If anyone else posts theirs, I'll be interested in the differences.
