I love movies and I love a countdown, so when I saw the NY Times feature naming the 100 best films of the century so far, I was all in.
According to the Times, the list was compiled by "polling more than 500 filmmakers, stars and influential film fans to vote for the 10 best movies (however they chose to define that) released since Jan. 1, 2000."
The pictures were revealed 20 a day starting Monday, and readers could view a synopsis and a rationale for recognizing each one. We could also check a box if we had seen the movie or another box if we wanted to see it. At the end of each day, two poster graphics were created, one for the films we'd seen and another for those on our wishlist.

It was a fun way to wile away ten minutes or so each morning, and today I got to see my final tally. Of the hundred? I've seen 60, and I have some solid suggestions for another 15 evenings when it seems like there's not much to watch.
