False Epilogue: A Look Back At The Good, The Bad, and the Artsy
It's been almost 5 months since I unveiled my top 100 movies to the MoFo world. A lot can change in 5 months, since then, I have seen dozens of films—from unseen classics to just-released blockbusters, across all genres, many of them I enjoyed very much. Were they ones I would've included in my top 100? Well, maybe not most of them, but for a few of them: yes.
Looking back over my list, I realized just how flexible 100-50 can be. There are quite a few that I still feel very strongly about and would still keep them, even if they aren't in the same position. There are also some that I feel a little iffy about looking back on it now. I won't lie, if I decided to redo countdown right now, the first half would probably look very different. However, I also realize that at the time, that was how I felt about those movies, so I'm not saying I "regret" my list in any way, just that there have been some movies I've watched between then and now that I would've definitely included over some of the ones that are on there.
For example, my number 100 and 99, The Punisher and Wall Street, those 2 I still like very much, but I would more than likely not include them on my next edition. With starting off a favorites countdown I wanted to include a couple that would not normally be on other lists and be a surprise to readers. Ever since this list though, I have seen films that I would put before them. Escape From New York is a classic that I finally got to watch recently, and it admittedly is an all-around better movie than The Punisher. So it would more than likely replace it on my next countdown (and something may possibly replace Escape From New York before my next list even starts!)
1-50 though, is still pretty concrete. They're the movies that I've enjoyed and admired for a long time, or ones that I recently watched that had a resounding impact on me. If I would have to guess, my next list would probably have at least 40 of the 50 that were from this one—though their order might be a bit different.
As of now, my top 10 still stands. I still love those movies. The only one that has a small chance of being in jeopardy, is Silent Hill. I still like that one immensely, but as time has gone by I seem to feel more and more odd having a below-average film in my top 10. Sometimes I feel the urge to replace it with a more acclaimed film (like Goodfellas) so my top 10 would look a bit more "flashy" and be taken more seriously. Most of the time though I dismiss that thought, because if I do that then I'm not being honest to myself. If that ever did happen though, Silent Hill will always be locked into the number 11 spot.
So the plan is to wait til at least March 2016 before I unveil my 2nd 100 favorites list. There's still so many movies left to watch, and there's also the thought of making it interesting and not just most of the same movies repeated. I'm positive though that there will be a good number of new entries added and even the same ones will probably be in different positions. When that times comes, I hope you all will give my 2nd list a shot!

I don't do Disney, I don't know the second film and the less said about the third the better.
Tangled I made it about 40 minutes into before giving up and going and watching a proper film (also known as Ed Wood's Night Of The Ghouls
The others? Well, either I don't want to see them or wish I hadn't.
