Fair warning: This is going to be by far the most “Buzzfeedy” entry in this series. In all honesty, little needs to be said here. I love hot cinnamon flavored things, and, fortunately for me, in our modern world such things exist in abundance. If you put it in your mouth, chances are there’s a…
Hey guys. Brian here. The dust has begun to settle on my 100 Film Favorites Countdown, and the time has come for me to look ahead at my future with EarnThis. Eventually, I plan on creating a similar Countdown focused on television. But it will be less gargantuan in scale, and contain around 25 “Top…
5. Dawn of the Dead (George Romero, 1978) “When there’s no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the Earth.” Back before the zombie genre exploded in poularity circa 2004 (with the release of 28 Days Later, Shawn of the Dead, and Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake), George Romero was the undisputed king of the…
I originally intended to officially end this Countdown with a post-#1 debriefing of sorts, but as it turned out, the conclusion of the UHF entry ended up serving well as the list’s final word. However, since I teased the possibility of an “honorable mentions” post several times throughout the Countdown, I thought I should EVENTUALLY…
100 Film Favorites – #1: UHF (Jay Levey, 1989) “All you do is make yourself a TV dinner, Press your face right up against the screen, We’re gonna show you things you ain’t never seen If you know what we mean.” Wow. I just typed “#1.” This day has been a long time coming, as…
100 Film Favorites – #2: Raiders of the Lost Ark (Steven Spielberg, 1981) “If adventure has a name, it must be Indiana Jones.” And lo, we are down to the TOP TWO! What originally was supposed to take less than four months has dragged on for nearly seven, and I thank you for sticking it…
100 Film Favorites – #3: The Prestige (Christopher Nolan, 2006) “Are you watching closely?” At last, we’re coming to the end of the long drawn-out Film Favorites Countdown. My apologies to those of you who have been waiting patiently for the epic conclusion – hopefully the delay has at least served to create some suspense.…
100 Film Favorites – #4: Fight Club (David Fincher, 1999) Now that Halloween season has come and gone, we return to the much anticipated final posts in the 100 Film Favorites Countdown. Even though at least one astute reader among you has already deduced the remaining Top 3 posts still to come, I’ll try to…
100 Film Favorites – #5: Back to the Future (Robert Zemeckis, 1985) “Great Scott!” We’ve made it at long last to the TOP FIVE! I know we technically should have reached the end long before now (if I’d kept my daily pace we would have ended on the 3rd). Regardless, we’re finally into the home…
100 Film Favorites – #6: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Steven Spielberg, 1989) “I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne… ‘Let my armies be the rocks, and the trees, and the birds in the sky.’” The third Indiana Jones film opens with the titular adventurer as a boy (played by rising teen heartthrob River Phoenix, who…
