Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
A list of 100 movies as voted for by Australians.
Note: #69 is listed simply as "Romeo and Juliet", but there are so many possible choices that I've arbitrarily listed Baz Luhrmann's version. I'm open to corrections.
This list is ranked and is shown in descending order.
