30 Frames of Celluloid

OK...I know that film runs at 24 frames per second and video runs at 30 frames per second, but I needed a catchy title.

Our good friend Mike has a favorite films list going with many other friends chiming in with their picks.

You can find it here.

So, being a film buff myself, I'm submitting for your approval my 30 favorite films (that I could think in the span of an hour).

Don't be left out in the lobby....submit your top 5 in the Comments section.

With that, grab your tub o' popcorn and hot tamales....the reel is rolling:
