KOA's 100 Films, Take Two: An Introduction

Three and a half years ago we embarked on the biggest endeavor this blog had ever seen.  It encompassed seven months, forty-two published posts and ended with a final ranking of my favorite 100 films.  Nothing has even come close to surpassing that list, whether it be based on sheer length, difficulty or importance.

Well, that is until now.

Sequels are incredibly difficult to get right.  For one, they all come with preconceived judgements and comparisons tracing back to the original.  Instead of being their own entity, second acts tend to hover in the lingering shadows of the premier.  In film successful ones are quite rare.  The Godfather Part Two and The Dark Knight are examples of the few exceptions.  More often sequels resemble The Hangover Part II or Major League II in that they use the same formula as their predecessors but with a tired twist on the storyline.

In understanding that premise it is with great caution that we embark on this upcoming journey.

The King of Arguments 100 Favorite Films: Version 2.0

Same idea, same format, different movies.  A revamped look at my 100 favorite movies of all-time. Coming along for the ride is my usual ranker-in-crime, Matt Barnes.  Starting tomorrow we will begin counting down our own separate lists as we try to build off the success our original 100 films list had back in 2011.
