Cinematic! Ecstatic

Hello, my name is Kerri (Anne) and I love movies. And popcorn.

Someone wise and cinematically-inclined once said, “You can tell quite a bit about a person based on the movies they like.” Consequently, you can also tell how many hours of a life has been wasted joyfully spent watching said movies based on the number of movies a person likes. (I like to watch movies AND state the obvious. I also like to not actually perform addition whenever possible.)

These are my all-time favorites of those hours. There are currently ninety-eight (I counted them, just for you), listed in no particular order, except that quite truly the first ten are my all-time favorites, ever. The ten movies I would take to a deserted island, if you will. And, well, I will, provided of course that I can also take sunblock and my laptop with dvd player.
