The Filmnibus
A take on the word "omnibus", to indicate this collection's encompassing breadth and scope. Selections that range from camp to arthouse, from the beginning of cinema to the latest releases, it has taken me over twenty years to acquire all the films in this list which comprise my library. I'm trying to distill the very best of every genre which, in my estimation, will result in having the greatest films ever made available to me, to educate and entertain my soul. In this regard, it may be even viewed (with a few exceptions) as a "Best of" list.
Though "best of" is typically very subjective, my collection and resulting lists are compiled from research using many sources: rateyourmusic.com, DVD Beaver, The Criterion Collection, Second Run DVD, IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, other film websites, various books and magazines on film, filmmaker interviews, film commentaries as well as public and private libraries. I would also add that this is in no way a complete collection. I’ve identified at least another 1000 films I’d like to add or have an interest in and there are probably several hundred more I’ve not come across as of this writing.
You can also see much of my collection through my genre lists that can be found on my profile page, here: http://www.imdb.com/user/ur4246457/?ref_=nv_usr_prof_2
Some lists are a vanity and are made for the sake of my love for film (Critically Acclaimed Jungle Movies, for example) but all were compiled to help those who are exploring, to hopefully guide their curiosity.
Many of the films have a quick note written by me, so if you're on the mobile version of this site, tap on the "i" to see what I have to say about any particular title. If you're only interested in what I have for any specific genre in my collection without that context, stay in The Filmnibus and just use the filters under the "refine list" function on the right of your screen.
I hope this list inspires you to watch films you may not have otherwise considered and be as entertained as I have been watching them.
