KOA's 100 Films, Take Two: 100-91


As the finishing touches were going on this list, I sent Matt Barnes a picture of my jumbled research with the caption, "You are the only person I know who would appreciate AND understand this."  He responded, "Yep. So sad."

And yet here we are again, embarking on another journey centered around my favorite 100 movies.

Before I begin unveiling, let me give you a heads up on what to expect this time around.

- There are changes to my top ten - including the exclusive top five.

- We have 24 new additions to the list.

- Every film that was in the top forty in 2011 is present on the 2015 version.

- For the 76 films that originally appeared in 2011, I will re-post what I originally wrote with an "Update" section as to why the film jumped up or slid down.  Be on the lookout for additional footnotes as well.1

- We will post ten movies a week until we reach the top twenty.  From there we will unveil five movies a week until we reach the top ten.  From there we will post one movie at a time.

- Yes, there will be recap posts on Matt Barnes' selections.  One can only hope he keeps gems like Jungle 2 Jungle, One Fine Day, and Anaconda from his 2011 list.

- Yes, we will be keeping tabs on who my favorite actors and directors are based off this list.  In 2011, my favorite actor was Tom Hanks, my favorite actress was Jennifer Connelly, and my favorite director was a tie between Christopher Nolan and Clint Eastwood.

- No, we will not be posting trailers to these films like we did in 2011.  Sorry folks.

- However, by simply clicking on each film's title it will take you straight to Amazon.  Feel free to buy me as many movies as you feel appropriate.

And without any further ado, here are the first batch of films to crack my favorite 100.
