The first 50 list is in the books. I had so much fun doing it, and got to watch so many movies, that I decided it should be a new running feature on the blog.
I enjoyed the fact that I had a set list - I was able to watch some movies outside the list, just didn't include those in the list reviews - and it made me sit down and watch them, which helped a lot.
So, I checked my lists once again, and brought in as many recommendations from friends as possible, and came up with my second 50 list.

So, check out for new reviews on these films as I experience them for the first time. Also, as I dive into these, I will also be starting my Tom Hanks-O-Thon. So there will be a mixture of the two lists - and a lot of other stuff - will be coming in the future.
Like before, you have a handful of amazing films, a handful of "Why haven't you seen these yet?," and a handful of "eh." Should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhat Nick said. Lots of all-timers that I look forward to you seeing for the first time. Then shit like Gamer and Domino where I'm thinking, "Who recommended THAT?"
