UPDATE (2/5/2018): Logan has moved from my Honorable Mentions list to #3 on my Top 10 list, bumping From Russia With Love to my Honorable Mentions list. I recently watched the Noir version of Logan to magnify the already tragic, Western vibe that was present on the film, and I couldn’t help but place it high on my list. Subconsciously, I think it already was, but I didn’t want to make a knee-jerk reaction having only seen the film once in the theatre. Caution! If you haven’t seen Logan in a while or at all, it gets a little dusty at the end. Consider yourself warned.
