Here is a link to "My Top Twenty Movies Of All Time" on YMDB.comI found the website as a link on another movieblog, registered, and added about six or seven films when the site crashed. I was multitasking about four projects yesterday, thought nothing further about the "list" until this morning, when I noticed two emails referencing "comments" on my list page. Interesting, to say the least. I've had "ElectricMovies" online for half a decade, and can't seem to ever "get the ball rolling" as far as "interactivity" with the cultural bloggers out here in Cyberland, so seeing comments on an unfinished list set me to thinking about giving my all to redesigning my site, and maybe even link up to some likeminded film fans. I've now got 14 entries, oh, wait a minute, 15. I just thought of another film to add. Now with IMDB, and YMDB, not to mention Netflix, where I rent about 8-10 movies a month, I can hopefully begin to compile the ultimate movie list of the Movies That Matter in a historical cultural perspective. If only I take the time to keep at it. I have always had dreams of writing about why certain films need to be seen by everybody. Film is a Universal Medium. Even before sound, filmmakers made films for a global audience. I someday hope to be proficient in explaining the reasons why some of these films are not only popular or worthy of admission on some list, but why some of these films exist as art.
