The Honor Roll

Well, I promised the full, revised listing in January, but I only needed a single-weekend extension. As any university professor can tell you, that's not too bad for the middle of Winter Quarter, especially when you're assembling bit by bit as a way to make it through the month. Thank God for inspirational objects! Not every link is working—no need to "Leave a Comment" when I haven't even written up the entries yet—but Version 3.0 of my Top 100 Films has been fully uploaded to my newly domain-transferred website, complete with luscious illustrations. To wit, my personal Top 10:





















Aren't those pretty? Let's have a look at the bottom ten, too, since sometimes those lower echelons strike a more unexpected chord than the topmost stuff:





















Lots more, 80 more to be precise, where those came from. And since I still haven't determined what kind of shindig I'll throw where you currently see "Text Here" on every individual link, feel free to toss out some suggestions. Conventional capsule reviews? Profiles of a favorite or pivotal sequence? I don't necessarily have the same personal connection to all of these titles that leads to the kind of garrulity you see in the Favorites (soon to be revived, via everyone's preferred Georgian-Israeli movie on the theme of delayed nuptials and dangerous liaisons). So, I'll have to hit the Top 100 write-ups from some different angle. Feast your eyes on these images, and then bend my ears with ideas.
