\u00a0I also admire the writings and opinions of film creators and film critics a lot. \u00a0Roger Ebert reviewed over 10,000 films in his lifetime. \u00a0It&#8217;s not a stretch to assume he liked at least 10% of those films and could easily compile a list of his favourite 1,001 movies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Someone else who decided to do just that was the British film maker <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Edgar_Wright\">Edgar Wright<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0Wright made his name with the popular British comedy series\u00a0<em>Spaced<\/em> with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. \u00a0He has since gone on to make many beloved comedies including\u00a0<em>Shaun of the Dead<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Hot Fuzz<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Along with a collaborator Sam DiSalle, Edgar Wright recently compiled a list of his <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mubi.com\/lists\/edgar-wrights-favorite-movies\">1000 favourite films<\/a><\/strong> using the movie subscription service MUBI. \u00a0After browsing through it and mentally checking off the films I had seen, it got me thinking about my own list.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I created a MUBI account for myself and began writing down my favourite films. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t have a list-size in mind but I found that I topped out at around 450. \u00a0When I really thought long and hard about any I had overlooked or forgotten I landed on 501. \u00a0501 of my favourite films from 1921 (Charlie Chaplin&#8217;s\u00a0<em>The Kid<\/em>) to some of the most recent films I&#8217;ve seen (the delightful\u00a0<em>Hunt For The Wilderpeople<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Anyway, for those of you are curious and have a lot of spare time, here it is:<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mubi.com\/lists\/my-501-favourite-movies-of-all-time\">EDO&#8217;S 501 FAVOURITE FILMS OF ALL TIME<\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6>Note: \u00a0Since finalizing the list, I realized I forgot some films I really like such as\u00a0<em>Run Lola Run<\/em>. \u00a0I also saw some amazing films like\u00a0<em>Journey To The Centre Of The Earth [1959] <\/em>which would make my list. \u00a0In a year or two, I think I&#8217;ll get around to creating a revised list of 1,001 favourite films.<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What
