DVDs weren't out yet, so please ignore my box set

The hundred movies meme was even harder to assemble because I spent far more of my childhood and adolescence immersed in books than in movies and therefore many of the films on this list were not so much formative as illuminating once I finally started paying attention to cinema as an art form, and/or they wired themselves instantly into my brain and are quoted regularly to this day. A list of favorites might overlap significantly but not identically, I imagine tilting more heavily toward sff and noir. I feel it may be a much more mainstream list than my formative books, although still full of meaningful absences. (I sacrificed a number of classics as well as movies whose circumstances were potentially more important than their content, but just glitched on The Medium (1951) and Katerina Izmailova (1966), both of which I even own.) I find it very difficult to try to winnow accurately. I may just not be designed for this format of meme.

I'm just very bad at remembering things 🤣 Someone could ask me my 100 favourite songs of all time and my brain would go blank and I'd be thinking... have I ever even listened to music... and this with me listening to music all day 😆

Strange Days is such a great movie; I love that so many people I know appreciate it.
