The Violet Wave - Great Movies

In the manner of Roger Ebert, The Violet Wave critic JD Westfall has begun keeping a "Great Movies" list, typically first reviewing them on the site. Here are the first 200 films selected as "great films" by The Violet Wave, with many more soon to come.
The majority of the films are post-1990, due to the way the reviews skewer on the site, but still a decent mix of classics.
