I can do that, perhaps as a teaser earlier in the day.

Well since you'll finish today, I'd say you have two full days to torture us with the honorable mentions.

yeah, that thought came to my mind.  that would be delicious to drop one on the boards every few hours :)

Though if I see Jeanne Dielman at 101, I may be blinded by tears.

Well, maybe not the films that just missed out ... since that might take a little suspense away from the actual countdown.  (Then again, I have no idea what this list is gonna look like, so who knows.)

i don't think it will take any suspense away, instead get discussion going and build sweet anticipation

can't wait.  i agree with verite that it would be fun to get a little run-up with films that just missed out, get the juices flowing.

That's a great idea; better than mine.  What I had in mind yesterday was that individuals post their respective lists of Honorable Mentions.
