My Favorite Trailers From Hell (Vol. 3)

Continuing my series of summary posts containing bunches of my favorites from the commendable Trailers From Hell site, here is my 3rd installment. Check out Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 as well! There's an endless supply of wonderful films(many of them are not spoken of nearly enough) on the site and I just can't get enough of what TFH is shelling out.

My Top 50 Films of All-Time (at the present)

I did a list like this a few years back, but as lists like this are want to do, it has shifted a bit. I may continue to publish a new list every few years I think. At some point there may be some drastic changes, especially in the lower half. I encourage everyone to do a top 50 films right now! (it's quite challenging). I also did a top 100 favorite films by decade which is in need of updating too at some point.
