So not too long ago the New York Times released their list of the 100 best movies from the past quarter century. It generated a lot of discussion as people began posting their lists of the top 10 movies, while others went about trying to watch all of the movies on the list they hadn't seen before. (I've personally seen only 69 of the 100). However, I had a different response. As you might know I have been coming up with fake movies produced in a fictional country that I made up, then awarding those movies with fake film awards for almost 30 years. I come up with at least a dozen films in each of those years, which means that in the 25 years that the NYT covered I have well over 250 films that I've come up with that I can sort into a top 100 list.
So while other people were tracking down real-life films missing from their lists, I've been taking a look at the films I've come up with, compiling a list of over 300 of them. From there I began paring down the list until I ended up with 110, and then began sorting them based on how I'd view the film at this point in time. Naturally, there would be some pretty dramatic differences in how I viewed films in 2000 when I was a 15-year-old teenager compared to how I would in 2025 when I am 40, and that is reflected in the rankings. But I've finally come up with a top 100 ranking and like the New York Times I'll be publicizing the list in segments.
Some of these films might be familiar to you readers because they may have appeared in the Best Picture votes that I do most years, while others may be films I only mentioned when I looked back at 20 years of AMPS winners a few years back. Some of the films may be ones that I never covered at all. But for each film I'll be listing some basic statistics as well as a small blurb. It won't be a complete summary but will more about why I think that film is great. Even though
