It was about 5 years ago that I released my top 50 favorite movies list on this blog, and since then my taste has changed quite a bit. I also made 2 separate top 100 actors lists that would look totally different now for similar reasons, but that's one I need to come to terms with rebooting yet again. I can't hardly complain about Marvel repeating the same formula again and again if that's all I'm going to do as well.
Anyway, I already made this top 50 list and broke it into 10 different parts so I could get away with not having to write too much all in one chunk while still releasing the lists every few days. Well, now for the sake of organization and just making it easier on everyone who wants to see the list, I'm gonna take what I've got and shove it all into one neat spot. Not all the writing will be here, but I'll include links as I go along if people want to read what I have to say, for whatever reason.
Here's what I got. My 50 favorite movies right now, no frills.

Top 50 Favorite Movies, Part 10 (#5-1)
And now we enter the finale. Previously, I talked about a biting chamber drama, a wonderfully exaggerated blaxsploitation parody, the pinnacle of modern action, a whimsical adventure comedy, and a nihilistic film about death. Thanks to everyone for reading.
dir. Tim Burton
Drama/Comedy
About 10 years back I started going out of my way to watch more movies, and like most people Tim Burton was one of the first filmmakers I really started to get attached to. I already liked Beetlejuice, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, etc. but when I saw about this movie I was immediately intrigued. Finally, I rented it from the library and fell in love with it. There is an attention to detail and a genuine love for the subject that I found

Top 10 James Spader performances
I had planned on making an updated favorite actors list, but that's just too much work and honestly I can see my opinion changing again before I could ever even finish posting it, so instead I'll just unload a few top 10s of some of my prospective top 50 favorites. James Spader was a more recent one for me as I only just finished Boston Legal, but needless to say I've been very impressed by him and enjoyed him a great deal -- especially lately. Anyway here's the top 10 I mad of the things I've seen him in. Enjoy.

TV Alley: American Gothic
Created by Shaun Cassidy
1995 - 1996
A corrupt, supernatural small-town Sheriff goes to any lengths to draw a young orphan into his web, while other forces (like the spirit of the boy's dead sister) try to keep him at bay. It only ran one season, much like Shaun Cassidy's other series Invasion, but packed enough mystery and Intrigue into its short time on the air to fill several seasons.

Top 50 Favorite Movies, Part 9 (#10-6)
Previously on Jeffscpresents.blogspot.com, I mentioned a few movies. A coming of age journalistic music dramedy, a tragic romance set in the not too distant future, a pseudo-sequel to a classic zombie movie, one of the most ambitious sci-fi movies of its time, and a Greek mythology adventure fantasy. A great batch, but there are better ones. Here they are.

Drama
The ultimate chamber/bottle drama, this is the kind of movie you can only like and appreciate if you have a fondness for acting and dialogue, because that's 95% of what this movie is. Pair the incredible cast and dialogue (strangely enough there has been some contention over whether the screenplay is really responsible for a bulk of the dialogue) with that wonderful
