Clarissa's Guide To Movie Watching

Here is a list of the Top 100 movies that I believe everyone should say that they’ve seen, or should make an attempt to watch. I haven't decided if they're all worthy of "rewatch" stardom, however I will eventually figure that out.

I have compiled this list using Academy Award Best Picture winners, Time Magazine’s Top 100 Movies of All Time, and IMDB’s Top 250.

Currently I am working my way through the list and have identified which I have watched, and what I have rated them.

On “Name In Lights” each movie I review receives “Light Bulbs” instead of stars. The maximum amount of “Light Bulbs” a movie can score is five. These ratings are based on concept, plot, dialogue, characters, originality, and pure likeability.

I will continue to update this list as I watch and rate the movies so check back frequently!
