My All-Time Favorite Movies<\/strong><\/p>\n

I won\u2019t make any claims other than these are my favorite movies of all time.\u00a0 They are not in strict order because that would be impossible to achieve.\u00a0 And in fact, this list is the most conflicted and unsatisfying.\u00a0 Basically, this is the end of the world list.\u00a0 If nuclear Armageddon was to strike and I had to pick the movies for my private collection that I would be able to watch (somehow) for the rest of my life, what would I have to have?\u00a0 So, of course, this could only be my list.\u00a0 Your list will differ radically because the list is as much about you as about the quality of the movies.\u00a0 But for better or worse this is what I chose.\u00a0 Multiple dates after the movie title signify multiple versions of the story I would take.<\/p>\n
