A Top 100 List for 2013

Once again this year I'm applying an element of randomization to my Top Movies of All-Time list. Spots 1-10 on the following are my hypothetical Sight & Sound ballot, as described on The George Sanders Show and presented here in chronological order. Spots 11-100 were determined by gathering a set of 921 films I consider "Top 100 quality", films that I could reasonably see a case for being one of my 100 greatest/favorite/whatever movies of all-time (not counting ones that were in my hypothetical Top Ten from 2012) and using a random number generator to select the 90 that make up the list. Links to my previous Top 100+ lists can be found at this index here.
