Todd Ford

Todd Ford is an avid member of the Cinema 100 Film Society in Bismarck, ND, USA and maintains their blog (Cinema 100 Film Society). There, and at Blog Critics, he frequently tosses his opinions on cinema out there for mass consumption. By the way, his favorite creatures on Earth are zombies, fictional and otherwise.

"Making such a list is an endeavor both exhilarating and fraught with futility. I recall all of these films with great fondness -- or occasionally with profound disgust. I consider all of them to be films of great importance, artistic brilliance, staggering influence, or, at least, something I really like a lot. This list could change tomorrow."
