Manhattan - Day 7

Well, looks like we have a contest. Spent the afternoon at Doma - great little coffee shop in the West Village and just when I thought I had it all figured out with 71 Irving Place. So, I guess I'm gonna have to take a step back and reconsider. And . . . well, this must be the beginning of the official search - what is the best coffee shop in Manhattan?

The 100 films . . .

In this blog I'll be writing about the 100 films that shaped, in some way large or small, who I am today. They won't be presented in any particular order and not all of them will make this list because they are great or even particularly good films. Perhaps some will be represented for a tiny, seemingly insignificant scene or line – something that I carry with me each day, while others will be here because I can slip into them like a well worn sweatshirt that you slide on when you're feeling down. Some will be works of art that continue to challenge, enlighten, or amaze me while others will be included simply because they continue to entertain me viewing after viewing. To others, some of films that will appear here might be considered great while others . . . well . . . might not be considered worth considering. Anyway, here it goes. Hang on my friends, the new year is here and I am off and running.
