Bobby’s blogs on the best movie characters of all time inspired me to share this list. For the past few years, I’ve kept a running list of movies I think everyone should watch at one point in their life. There’s no particular order to this list. I’ve just been adding movies as I think of them or as I see them, and right now we’re at 125. I’ve even included the genre of each kind of movie so that if you end up deciding to pick some off of this list, you can go based on your feel. Enjoy.
