The whole objective of this compilation is to show the world out there that we, as passionate horror fans, can also give a definition to non-horror films as well.
All of them may not be the absolute best in their respective genres, and it may not be similar to many other top 100s out there which have THE absolute best films in their lot, but I hope there's enough quality in the final 100 to make the list stand out as one on its own.
The Godfather didn't make the cut in my top list as well. As great as it might be, it wasn't a complete entertainer in my view, IMO. I went for uniqueness/novelty of presentation over the rest - that's why a NeverEnding Story with it's rather special/unique premise and executed idea, and a Back To The Future Part II (not part I, mind you), made it into my top list.
Why Part II, you might ask? Because in my view, this film has the most unique storyline in all of cinema-dom. It's unique, it dares to be different, and it stands out from the rest. Good enough to tick all of my boxes. (besides being a huge teenage-year favorite)
