As I do preliminary work I tend to notice that my list will be considerably different than last year's, but also pretty similar.

Makes sense.

I also recommend Wages of Fear. Won't make my top 100 but very good. Le Corbeau is even better and is a smokey to make my list.

But the one film I would recommend over all others is Fellini's glorious La Dolce Vita, the story of a man who doesn't know what to do and doesn't know what he should feel. The movie grows on you tremendously, if you like it you will probably love it.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

Have Adam and Matty ever mentioned their top films of all time on the show?

Episode 100?
I think Adam's top film was Nights of Cabiria or close to the top. Would have been Sam back then.

Yep. The top will stay mostly consistent, while the latter half will likely change drastically.

I am also in this boat.

It seems that all I have to do to get you people to watch some Borzage is to load him at the front end of my list like roujin did with Only Angels Have Wings. In that spirit, consider this my top 10.

10. Man's Castle
9. The River
8. Bad Girl
7. Moonrise
6. No Greater Glory
5. 7th Heaven
4. Little Man, What Now
3. Lucky Star
2. The Mortal Storm
1. Three Comrades

Borzage! (Man's Castle is better than that.)

Most of these aren't readily accessible, apparently.

Time travel, my friend. And TCM. And maybe you can ask your library to get the ones that are in the Warner archive.

However, rest assured that there isn't a bad film on the list. Watch whatever you can.
