It's been a little over four years since I last made a top 50 list. I've seen a lot of films since then, so I figured it was time to revise the list. Of course it's ever-changing and would be different if I made it again tomorrow. These lists are more to capture what I thought in the moment. I could easily list 100 movies, but 50 is a challenge and I don't prescribe to an easily made list. I've decided to do away with ranking the movies, which I know is not fun, but I have a hard time picking a number one, and numbers 11 through 50 are arbitrarily ranked anyway. Each title contains a link to a trailer or movie clip.
