We’ve reached the top 40 movies in this list. Can you believe it? Only a year to go 
No. 40 - Say Anything (1989)
A great movie from Cameron Crowe, one of my favorite filmmakers, and John Cusack, one of my favorite actors.
No. 39 - Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Spider-Man loses his powers, gets them back and continues to chase Kirsten Dunst for some reason. Seriously though, Spider-Man 2 is a great comic book movie, an improvement on the original, and the best in series.
No. 38 - Old School (2003)
Will Farrell, Luke Wilson, and Vince Vaughn return to college (sort of). Classic.
Check out movies 100 through 41 in the list here!

Top 100 Movies: A Great Twist, Baberaham Lincoln, and Mrs. Robinson

43 - The Usual Suspects (1995)
This flick has one of the greatest twists in movie history. I didn’t see it coming, did you?
42 - Wayne’s World (1992)
I haven’t seen this movie in a while, but watching this trailer brought it all back. A great, original comedy based on an Saturday Night Live skit about two metal heads with a public access show. You may have already known that
41 - The Graduate (1967)
The oldest flick in this list is a great movie with an (almost) equally great soundtrack. I know many of you probably haven’t seen this flick, but I urge you to - you won’t be disappointed. Dustin Hoffman is hilarious and the writing and direction are superb. The following trailer contains some spoilers.

No. 58 - Young Guns (1988)
Man I loved this flick when I was growing up. Must have seen it 50 times. Plus, its got Jack Bauer and John Locke. Well, kind of.
No. 57 - Batman (1989)
Remember the hype surrounding this flick? Saw it at a sneak preview - one of the best movie-going experiences I have ever had.
No. 56 - Fargo (1996)
Greatness. Although, after seeing No Country for Old Men, Fargo is now my third favorite Coen Brothers’ flick.

Site Update: Top 100 Movies
Posted on March 17, 2008
Filed Under General | 2 Comments
I’ve decided to speed up the countdown for my Top 100 Movies. A comment by Mike from Pop Critics and my own contemplation over where this blog is headed has resulted in this unprecedented action Simply put, it is just taking too long, especially after my extended “break.”
I am also trying to determine what direction, if any, I should take this blog. My (almost) two-month long hiatus stalled the growth of the site, and I think the current manner in which I have been revealing my Top 100 Movies may have contributed as well.
So here’s the plan: I am going to reveal three at a time until we get to the top 10. Then it will be back to one at time so that I can give more insight and analysis into why each of my top 10 is, well, in my top 10!
I may also try some new things here including posting more than once a day, throw in a “non-movie list” post every once in a while, etc. Of course, I am always open to suggestions, so feel free to suggest away.

Top 100 Movies: No. 68 - The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996)
Posted on March 12, 2008
Filed Under Top 100 Movies | Leave a Comment
The People vs. Larry Flynt is on this list for three reasons: 1) The performances by Edward Norton, Woody Harrelson and Courtney Love; 2) the subject matter - free speech; and 3) it’s a great, entertaining movie (OK, that’s kind of a given).
Edward Norton is terrific as a lawyer who defends his client in an effort to protect our freedom of speech. Unfortunately for him, his client isn’t that sympathetic - he’s a pornographer.
Whether or not you find Larry Flynt’s chosen profession distasteful, the legal issues litigated were vital to our First Amendment rights. The clip below sums up what was at stake.
