Look Back in Movies:Adams Top 100 Movies of all time!

This list might be the hardiest thing I have put together, since I started writing this last year.  Lets face it, I definitely haven't seen every movie but these are my favorites!  Also, you might see a movie on this list that I have higher than I did on a yearly top 10.  The reason for that is simple, a movie might be better but not my favorite film!

Movies I haven't seen that might make my list: Citizen Kane, Casablanca, To Kill a Mockingbird,  One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest,  Schindler's List, Singin in the Rain, Enter the Dragon, Gone with the Wind, Raging Bull, North by Northwest,  The Godfather Part 2 or 3, Leaving Las Vegas, or Mr Smith goes to Washington, The Good the Bad and the Ugly  (Just to name a few)

Movies that just missed the cute: Rushmore, Argo, Blade Runner, Black Swan, LOTR: Return of the King, Old Yeller, Drive, Catch Me if you Can, Gone Baby Gone, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
