100 Favorite Movies - Revised for 2008

Hi everybody. I've been gone for awhile, but as part of my attempt to do a lot more writing, I'm going to try to revive this old blog. I learned a few things last time out, the first being not to try to blog every day. So, I'll just blog as I feel like it, although I'm going to try to post at least once a week and the content will remain mostly movie reviews, albeit smaller ones than I had been posting.


One other thing: I never finished my Top 100 list. Part of this was because I was getting exhausted with it and part was the realization that my list was changing as I wrote it and movies that at one time seemed like they had a home on the list didn't any more. Well, to make it up to everyone out there, I've put together this little six minute video, featuring clips of my 100 favorites, revised for 2008. Some are movies I've commented on before and some are not. Regardless, please to enjoy. And let's see if anyone can come up with all 100!


[note: I just posted the video to YouTube last night, so if it isn't working yet, just try back a little later]

Dude. Welcome back man. I liked the clip. I have to protest the 'Bubba Ho-Tep' clip though. :)

Eric:
Enjoyed the hell out of that clip. Very impressive. I had to rewind to the part where the Dude sees himself as Time's man of the year in that mirror thing because... that actually happened! Do you remember time and that mirror-cover?
Anyway, I'll be interested in what you think of this years crop. It's been a good year, no?
Oh, and if you haven't seen or heard of it, check out a documentary called Crazy Love-- the ultimate proof that truth is stranger than fiction.

John,
Thanks, man. I'm pretty pleased with the results myself. The Norm MacDonald/Big Lebowski edit was heavily Welsh inspired.

Yeah, that Time mirror/we're all the man of the year cover was lame.

I have heard of Crazy Love, but haven't seen it. I will rent it soon. Meanwhile, you need to see King of Kong.
