A while back I made a list of my 50 favorite movies. It was a great exercise because it forced me first off, to think of more than 50 movies I really liked (not an easy task). Secondly, it helped me to see what sorts of movies I'm into and what movies I want to keep in my back pocket for a rewatch later on. Naturally, I've seen some new movies since the last time I made this list, and my opinion on a few others has changed. So a an updated list seemed like a fun idea. Here it is. *Parenthesis denotes previous ranking. 1. Interstellar (1) 2. Stalag 17 (2) 3. The Shawshank Redemption (4) 4. The Revenant (7) 5. One, Two Three (N/A) 6.
