Top 100 movies - for those of you who care.

Many moons ago, someone on the Hart family favorites blog requested our top 100 movies. We finally got around to it today. If you are in the extended Hart contingency, we've posted our lists on the Favorites Blog and expect to see yours shortly. If you happen to be anyone else, we are also posting our lists here in hopes that you will share your lists with us too. The one rule is that you really do have to keep it to 100. It's harder than you think.

Our lists are posted as a comment so they don't take up our entire page.

This is so great!! Now when our Netflix queue is empty, we'll just scour your lists! And we know you have good taste--you sold us on that with your Horatio Hornblower recommendation alone. :) Thanks, guys.

Ellie:

I also like "Strictly Ballroom". The lead guy also played "Joseph" in a movie filed in Italy which I believe you would like.
