555 Films That Freak Me Out

Once more into the breach, I suppose. Below are 555 films, honed down from a list of my 750 all-time favourite films that I had intended to post. There are many changes from previous such lists, but after much brain-wracking, I suppose these films, as close to being in order as possible, indeed represent those movies I absolutely rate the highest in my personal pantheon. All are indelibly etched onto my brainpan - regardless of genre, length, or what some might deem "good taste".
