Flicks Lists Has Moved!

Flicks Lists can now be found exclusive at flickslists.com. I will be working on the website over the next couple of days (interrupted by several football games of course), but we should be good to go by the end of the day on Monday. The move has also resulted in a delay of my top 1oo movies list. Please bear with me. Thanks!

Movin' On Up!

Hey everyone! I am working on some things to make Flicks Lists a better reading experience for you and a better blogging experience for me. Hang in there, I will make an announcement soon. Thanks!!

IRON MAN TRAILER ONLINE!!

It was originally reported that the first trailer for Iron Man would be a "teaser." Don't know what you consider to be a teaser, but this sure doesn't look like one to me. Check it out and let me know what you think:

Top Movies Update

I have generated a list of approximately 271 movies thus far. Out of this master list, I have identified 66 movies that will definitely appear in my top 100 favorite movies list. The list should be done within the next week. I know, I know, you can't wait. Well, I have some exciting news. To help me compile and rank the movies and get the list posted sooner rather than later, I have hired a research assistant. Don't worry, he will have no influence on the actual decision making process, well, at least I hope not.

Ok, I don't have a research assistant. That was a joke. But it is taking some time to get through all of these movies, and I anticipate adding more to the master list because I would be horrified if I posted my top 100 favorite movies and then realized that I didn't include a flick that is in my top 43 favorites. Then again, if I haven't identified a particular movie by now, it probably isn't one of my favorites.

Anyway, hang in there. The list will be complete soon. I still haven't figured out how I am going to reveal it, so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. In the meantime, here is a trailer for 3:10 to Yuma (which has gotten really good reviews). Enjoy:

A List of the Best 1,000 Movies Ever?!?!

I am still working on my top 100 favorite movies list. While compiling the list, I came across this list from The New York Times - The Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made. Now, I think my list is pretty ambitious (for me at least), but 1,000 MOVIES?? Wow. Actually, the list is taken from The New York Times Guide to the Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made. The movies aren't ranked on the website (and to be honest, I don't know if they are in the book - how could they be???), but there are links to each movie, which are listed in alphabetical order. Good resource if you are looking for information on a particular movie.

Iron Man Trailer!!!!

Because I listed Iron Man as one of my most anticipated movies currently in production, I thought I would pass along this little tidbit from Superherohype.com: an Iron Man teaser trailer is coming September 10!! The teaser trailer will incorporate much of the footage revealed at Comic Con which, as you know from a previous post here, was incredible! Check out the announcement.

All Time Favorite Movies (COMING SOONer or later)

When I started this blog (almost three whole weeks ago), my intent was to come up with some unique lists of movies that you may not see on other blogs/websites (and also link to unique lists I discover elsewhere). However, I think it is important for you to get a sense of my movie watching habits/interests. I also think (hope) that if I create a list of my all-time favorite movies, it will prompt some comments and/or debate. Therefore, coming sooner or later - my all time 100 favorite movies.

The movies contained in the list will not necessarily be critically acclaimed (although there will be some of those) nor will they necessarily be popular or have made money (although there will be many of those). Rather, the movies contained in the list will be movies that I truly enjoyed and/or hold some special meaning to me.

I plan to document some of the issues that arise as I compile this list (e.g. - should movie "x" be included in the list or is it number 101?) I am also trying to decide how to reveal the list - should I include the entire list in one post or reveal one movie per post? Should I reveal the movies in order or randomly? Feel free to comment on these issues. After all, I do want audience participation (in comments and debate, not in the substance of the list itself - that's all mine).

In the meantime, here is a link to a list of the Internet Movie Database's top 250 movies as voted on by its readers. Enjoy.
