had a talk with some friends over the weekend. mentioned 'the limey' is in my top 50. seemed to impress them that i could have a top 50, as opposed to top ten. and let me just say it was PAINFUL limiting myself to just 50. had dto go back and trim, and erase for others. i'm so frightened something better will come to mind, and i will have to alter what's already listed! bah! (p.s. the joys of vacation include making LISTS!) so yeah...  here they are. and they're not in order of most favorite to least, by any means. it was just how they came to me, really.  and i must add this one last notation: these aren't the best movies EVER MADE, but they are pretty much the ones that i ADORE.
