Now that I have posted more than 100 movie trailers over the last 24+ weeks it's time to rank the top fifteen. Granted, these probably aren't my favorite trailers of all-time, but they certainly are ones I always enjoy.

KOA's 100 Films: Top Fifteen Trailers
By: Luke Florence
As soon as I finish one list I start another one, only this next one won't take six months to complete, although it did take that long to gather all the necessary information.

KOA's 100 Films: By The Numbers (Part Two)
By: Luke Florence
Now that you know what my favorite 100 movies are I thought it would be nice to showcase some statistics. Who is my favorite director? What about my favorite actor/actress? Do I favor dramas or comedies? What year had the most films represented on my list? How many Oscars did these films win?
What follows are answers to all of the questions and much more.

KOA's 100 Films: 1
By: Luke Florence
On June 30th I mapped out my next major task for this blog with the introduction of a series of posts titled, "KOA's 100 Films." Over the course of the next six months I unveiled my 100 favorite movies. It was the largest list I've ever compiled and without question one of the most difficult tasks I've tackled here.
All of it has led to this last moment when I would finish this major endeavor. For those of you who have been following this blog since its' inception you know how rarely the word "finish" is used. I've started several adventures in the past and have failed to finish, but I refused to accept that notion when I started this adventure.
Fitting in so many ways that the word "finish" should arise by happenstance in my intro to my favorite film of all-time because the idea of "finishing" is a major theme in the movie.
And so here we go. It's been an epic encounter. Thanks for going on it with me. I made this list for myself, but like all great things in life, it can only be enjoyed with the presence of others.

KOA's 100 Films: 2
By: Luke Florence
All along I've been listing MY favorite movies without regard for anyone's opinions. The films have been ones that I've enjoyed and could care less whether or not anyone out there agreed with me or not. That mindset kind of changes as we hit my #2 favorite movie of all-time.
This film is one that I consider to be the greatest movie ever made. It's not my #1 movie because of certain personal reasons, but it is without question a piece of art that deserves all of the recognition it has received since it's release nearly two decades ago. What's sad is that it took the world nearly two years after it's opening weekend at the box office to realize how good it was. This film that many regard as the best ever, flopped horribly at the box office and initially didn't make enough money to simply cover production.
And look at it now.

KOA's 100 Films: 3
By: Luke Florence
Every once in a while a film comes along and changes things. It's innovating, ground-breaking, and revolutionizes the way movies are perceived. Strong words, yes, but accurate when describing this unbelievable film.
If LOST was condensed to a two-hour movie, it would look like this film ... just completely mind-blowing awesomeness.
