In this episode of WN Movie Talk Podcast, we continue the deep dive into my Top 50 Favorite Movies—a list I compiled over 12 years ago.
Last time, I revisited the first 25 films, questioning whether they still deserve a spot among my all-time favorites. Now, it’s time for the top half of the list, where the real heavyweights come into play!
Expect an eclectic mix of cinematic masterpieces, from sweeping fantasy epics to gritty war dramas, thought-provoking sci-fi, and genre-defining comedies. We’ll be discussing visionary filmmakers who reshaped cinema, legendary performances from some of Hollywood’s greatest stars, and films that have stood the test of time—alongside a few that might not hit as hard as they once did.
Has my love for these films endured, or will nostalgia be shattered by a fresh perspective? Tune in as I break down each pick, explore what made them special then, and decide if they still hold a place in my ultimate favorites list today!
