February 24th, 2010 
Jeff I used to rank every single movie I’ve ever watched, but once I got to about 150 that got way too hard. So, now I’ve decided to do something different and migrate my list from a Wordpad document to here. I’ve grouped all of the movies into 9 different tiers. The first tier is the best, the last tier is the worst, etc…In each tier, they’re just listed alphabetically.
Before I start, I just want to say something about Schindler’s List. It really doesn’t belong on any of these tiers; it’s a great film, but it isn’t the most exciting movie in the world and I really don’t want to watch it again.
