I had to take the hard way out of it and plug it up there. Of course, I'll list some honorable mentions, but even those were tough choices. But, I see where our lists are already beginning to intersect.<br /><br />Phil- You're doing ONE HUNDRED and only two of these will make the cut? What are you padding your list with?Big Mike Mendezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13883097296917205119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4370880477643868883.post-49598789964765341592009-12-22T19:15:56.080-08:002009-12-22T19:15:56.080-08:00Interesting list so far.

I've been working on mine for a couple of weeks now and I'm going to try to cover 100 films, even though I haven't finished my other 100 film list (which I've started writing again and will hopefully have posted before the new year so I can move on to the decade list.)<br /><br />I'm curious to see how similar our lists are going to be. I see only 2 of these so far that might make my 100 list. And like you said, the lists change all the time. In going back to start on my 100 favorite films list I'm already seeing films I'd easily change around, which will probably be reflected in my decade list. Either way, I can't wait to see your final list.schaggydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287876963843832148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4370880477643868883.post-22103026477152162882009-12-22T17:18:48.855-08:002009-12-22T17:18:48.855-08:00Well, lame on me, I didn't do a 25, I'm on...Well, lame on me, I didn't do a 25, I'm only doing a piddly 10. Anyway...<br /><br />I have a feeling our lists will match up better the lower you get. Of these, I think Superbad might be the only one to scratch my top 25. I don't hate Anchorman, but never got into it like everyone else seemed to. Up In the Air was just *good* for me and never great. I'm one of the people that Training Day was otherwise a wash for, and Casino Royale didn't do it for me at all, at least beyond the groovy parkour intro. <br /><br />Looking forward to the rest, of course.Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4370880477643868883.post-89579724886448594672009-12-22T08:46:00.348-08:002009-12-22T08:46:00.348-08:00Yea, man, chicks dig it.

In ten years, this list might look different, but for now, it is what it is.Big Mike Mendezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13883097296917205119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4370880477643868883.post-57221154882869542612009-12-22T08:34:02.171-08:002009-12-22T08:34:02.171-08:00Great list so far, I know I for one enjoyed every ...Great list so far, I know I for one enjoyed every one of the flicks you named. I got a special smile when thinking back on TRAINING DAY, as it was the first film I ever saw at The Toronto International Film Festival.<br /><br />Kinda surprised that UP IN THE AIR is the only '09 movie to make the cut. Not to say that I expected more of 'em...just to say that I figured you'd be picking a different one.<br /><br />And, uh...You waxed your eyebrows?Ryan McNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440134802928893661noreply@blogger.com
