My Favorite 100 Films (mis películas preferidas)

Perhaps you will laugh at my selection of movies. Some are serious films, while others are "smart" comedies, but I feel that all these movies touch me on an emotional level.

Maybe you'll think my selections are too simple, but they are films that bring joy to my heart everytime I watch them.

Here they are (off the top of my head)...What are your favorite films? I always want to learn about new movies (tell me in the comment field below).
