In 2007, he wrote a blog post titled Favorite Movies, A to Z, where he listed his favorite movies going by off of the letter of the alphabet that they start with. Almost 14 years removed from that post, I was curious about what he would think of the list since many of his favorite movies have come out in the past decade. We go through each movie, one by one, to figure out if he would keep the movie he picked or pick something else.
