But sooner or later, I'm going to be stuck in a cage holding myself in a vice grip headlock while my I pound me over the head with a steel chair so I can pin him for the title and I think I got carried away with the analogy.
Basically, sooner or later I'm going to be arguing with myself whether I not I think X movie is better than Y and put it at #1056 or worse than it and put it at #1057.
There's a lot of movies out there. A lot of movies I enjoy and love. Seven Samurai, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, The Empire Strikes Back, The Great Mouse Detective, Sailor Moon R: The Movie : The Promise of the Rose....
When I set out to do this blog, I knew my favorites would change. What I didn't know is that I would eventually realize the error of favoritism. Since I begun, I've gone through a few Best Picture Winners, tons of Disney films, a milestone, and started reviewing new releases. So many of these movies I've enjoyed immensely.
When I did Seven Samurai, I decided I was going to throw away the old Top 10 and start from scratch, putting the film at #1. And I furthered it with the new releases. I said I was going to do away with categories after Disney.
I rescind that statement.
I'm not only going to keep doing categories, I'm going to go further.
Seven Samurai is now #1 in the Milestone Category
Edge of Tomorrow and Maleficent are #1 and #2 in the New Release Category
The other two categories remain the same.
I'll give myself a Top 10, based on whatever is the top film in the category. But right now, I've got a Top Four because there aren't ten categories. And after I pass that number, it'll just grow to reflect how many categories I have. And they'll all be equal.
I won't tell you I have a favorite movie.
I'll tell you my love of film is too great to have a favorite.
The categories that are coming after Disney Animated Films:
Sergio Leone
Disney Channel Original Movies
Studio Ghibli
Other Anime
Watched for the Hell of It
