Author Comments: 

I've updated the list to include TSPDT additions through 1/19/12. Movies with an asterisk (*) indicate films that have fallen off the list since its creation. (I've chosen to retain them for my own wily purposes.)

Original creator's notes: I like alphebetical lists, so that's the one I reproduced here, but there's a RANKED list too if you're into that.
