Five Star Films

My last post was about the film My Dinner with André, which I've been watching again recently. It's grown so much on me over the years that I've decided to give it my ultimate accolade: five stars out of five on my legendary "Films Seen" Excel sheet. (Legendary to who, you ask? Legendary to me, that's who.) I also decided to bump Inception up to five stars, which seems long overdue.

At the same time, I demoted some other films to four-star status, such as A Hard Day's Night, The American President, and The Chronicles of Riddick. There's only one criterion for a five-star film: that I want to watch it over and over again, that I never get tired of it.

Here is the list as it stands. Out of 1378 films, only twenty-three get five stars!
