In the third week of our twenty week endeavor we saw Barnes include yet another animated film, a surprising rom-com selection, and a film about a white rapper. Giddy up folks.

KOA's 100 Films: 80-71 Thursday Trailers
By: Luke Florence
What was supposed to be a Tuesday trailer segment has quickly turned into Thursday trailers. Good thing the alliteration still counts. After this week we will have viewed 30 trailers and eliminated 21 from top-20 contention. As always, sit back, relax, and enjoy the next 20 minutes as we view the next batch of trailers.

KOA's 100 Films: 80-71
By: Luke Florence
One of the hardest parts about making this list was differentiating movies 50-90. It was quite difficult slotting those films for a variety of reasons. They all were movies that I loved, but weren't on all-time status. It was easy picking out my all-time favorites, but not so much on all the rest. Just so you know, there is hardly any difference in these next thirty flicks. The margins between them is minuscule to say the least.

KOA's 100 Films: Rapid Reaction To Barnes' 90-81
By: Luke Florence
We are two weeks in and neither Barnes nor myself has "fucked it up," yet. In Barnes' second unveiling he pounds out another cartoon flick, a drama about dinosaurs, and perhaps (and I never thought I'd say this) a worse selection than Jungle 2 Jungle.
Ladies and gentlemen, Matt Barnes.

Here we are again with a new batch of trailers. This week we take a look at the movies that were ranked #90-81 on my list. The top three in each group will be eligible for my final ranking of twenty, which will be done when this massive list finally concludes. So sit back, relax and spend the next twenty minutes re-living these great films.

KOA's 100 Films: 90-81
By: Luke Florence
One week down, 19 to go. Might seem daunting, but the reality is that after this week, 1/5 of our lists will be complete. The reaction through one week was incredible. After reading just the bottom ten in our list, people are debating our picks, guessing as to what lies ahead, and some are even creating their own. It's been a pretty remarkable week. Here's to hoping that momentum continues.
There are a couple of new additions to the format this week. From here on out if you click on the title of any of my movies it will link to amazon.com where you can purchase that movie for yourself, or even better, for ME (blu-ray's are preferable, thank-you for caring). Also, I've added a stock-up/down option. This will let you know which direction each movie is headed on my list.
Enjoy.

KOA's 100 Films: Rapid Reaction To Barnes' 100-91
By: Luke Florence
Last night after bowling, Matt Barnes and myself began discussing among other things, our movie list. We talked about our internal processes compiling the list, what the list meant to us, and the reaction we received from our readers. The entire conversation could be summed up by a four-letter statement from Barnes.
"Don't fuck it up."
Strong words from someone who already did that by putting Jungle 2 Jungle in their top 100, but the mindset remains that this is the most important list either one of us have ever compiled and by falling short in our mission to post our top 100 would be a disservice to ourselves and to you.

KOA's 100 Films: 100-91 Tuesday Trailers
By: Luke Florence
For some, going to the movies is more than just watching the featured film. It's the smell of the popcorn, or the sound of a collected group of laughter. For others, the best part about going to the movies is watching the previews.
The two-minute trailer/preview gives you a brief look into a film, a small synopsis, and will ultimately leave one with a positive or negative impression on the soon-to-be-released movie.
Every Tuesday I will post the trailers for the ten movies I just finished writing about the previous Monday. I will rank them 10-1 with the final goal being a top-10 list of my favorite trailers. Hope you enjoy.
