The 30 Runner-Ups to the Top Fifty Films

I'm not going to rank these... when I originally pulled my favorites from the top 500, I ended up with 129 movies, which I eventually weeded down to a top fifty.

These are the movies that would have been my #51 through #80. However, I'm not ranking these 30. I'm instead just going to label them all as runner-ups.

Dancer in the Dark - dir. Lars Von Trier - 2000
Inferno - dir. Dario Argento - 1980
Walkabout - dir. Nicolas Roeg - 1971
The King of Comedy - dir. Martin Scorsese - 1983
Hunger - dir. Steve McQueen - 2008
Volver - dir. Pedro Almodovar - 2006
Videodrome - dir. David Cronenberg - 1983

A Matter of Life and Death - dir. Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger - 1946

Next, I will start counting down the top fifty, in order. And I'll probably do short write-ups for them too! Though fifty short write-ups sounds like an awful lot of work...
