    There aren't many things I love more than good beer, but movies are certainly one of them. After winning hannydawg's Lights, Camera, Action LIF Part 6, I'm now bring you Part 7!

    Between that LIF, BeerAdvocate Jeopardy!, the Masters LIF, and some very generous trading partners/BIF shippers, I have a ton of fantastic beer in my house. So the winner of this LIF will get a pretty nice box--it'll be centered around a four-pack of fresh Heady Topper, and will include some other goodies from my cellar (or if necessary to hit Wants, my local bottle shop), hopefully hitting at least a few Wants.

    Open to anyone in the lower 48 who didn't see my info for the Movie Night Round 2 LIF (I think that only disqualifies YaKnowBrady and the insanely generous FishPondManager).

    I'm a big movie nerd. Seriously big movie nerd. In college, I created a ranked list of my 100 favorite movies of all time (kind of a hybrid of best movies ever/favorite movies ever, more than one or the other), and I try my hardest to keep it updated as I see new entrants. I just updated it again today in preparation for this LIF, and the challenge is simple. Name my 10 favorite movies from the list. Order doesn't matter. One guess per person per hint, no makeup hints--you know the drill!

    Most of you are doing a really good job of naming movies from my full list of 100. As far as the top 10 specifically are concerned, here's your first hint:

    dejrrma and Alieniloquium have done the best so far, each naming three of the ten. Between all of the entries, seven of the ten movies have been named. Of the three movies that haven't been named, one is silent, another has the same director as multiple incorrect guesses so far, and the third starred two men who also starred together in another film in the Top 200 on IMDB. All three of the movies that haven't been guessed are in the top 250 on IMDB.

    Second guesses open now!

    None of the three missing movies has been named since my last hint. Taking the three in the same order as last hint: none of you are in the right general area on the silent one, one film by the same director as the second missing film has been guessed twice since the last hint, and all I'll say about the third missing film is that dejrrma lost a coin flip.

    Third guesses are now open!
