Favorite Movies of All-Time

by adam_sandler_rox22 | created - 24 Apr 2023 | updated - 24 Apr 2023 | Public

The list of all lists. My all time favorite movies. Movies that mean the world to me, that I can't live without and would fight with someone tooth and nail to defend. All genres, all decades. Not in any particular order, but top 5 is pretty accurate. Reason being is I love these movies so much that it's hard to choose between them.
