Favourite films revisited

I was asked about my favourite films, and I decided it is time to revisit the list of my favourites. There are some additions, but only a few are newer than 2011, the original publish date. There are some films cut, but not because I don't like them any more, I just don't think I would like to rewatch them so often.

And a few notes.

Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie (2004) might be hard to find, since it is not really a separate film, it is only included on special editions of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004). The film had so much extra footage that it was enough for an alternate film. However, it shares no scenes with the main film. If you do not like the main film, you will likely not like the alternate either.

Die Hard 4.0 is what the film is released as in many regions. When the film was released, many people complained that it is not a true Die Hard sequel. Then, when A Good Day to Die Hard (2013) came out, people said tha compared to this, Die Hard 4.0 was very good. I liked Die Hard 4.0 from the start, and there is a reason I did not include the fifth one.

It is ironic that the expert consulted for Ice Age for accuracy was willing to allow some factual errors that could theoretically be possible, as long as the film does not want to show dinosaurs in the ice age. And then there were dinosaurs in the third one. I did not include the fourth one, because while it's fun, it does not feel connected enough. The fifth Ice Age, which is coming this summer, goes outer space, meaning they are going even further away from the first one's attempt to be accurate.

The Lion King sequels are usually not spoken of. I also left them out, because while they were fun, they are not on the same level as the original.

The Bourne Legacy (2012) was not as good as previous films, also, ruined elements of the story, basically claiming that Jason Bourne is not highly intelligent and well trained, he takes steroids. Having not read the books, I know that Robert Ludlum only wrote the first three books, others were written by someone else, which could be the reason of changing of styles.

While I recommend to see all James Bond movies, I seem to enjoy the mentioned ones the most.
