Vertical Gunn's Top 100

[Vertical Gunn]

100. Cloverfield
http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2008_Cloverfield/2008_cloverfield_002.jpg

I first saw Cloverfield the day it opened in theaters - January 18, 2008. I have to tell you, even though I own the movie on DVD, Cloverfield is mainly an awful movie if you don't see it in theaters. The cam-cord technique made the movie come to life in the theater, and that's one of the main things I liked about it. However, Cloverfield is still a pretty decent movie, and is one of the best action movies I have ever seen. Even though J.J. Abrams was inspired by Godzilla to make this movie, we never really see Matthew Broderick running around anywhere. And now that a sequel is one the rise, I couldn't be more excited. Was that really a satellite? Where did the monster come from? Was there more than one monster? All these unanswered questions may be answered in the upcoming sequel, but reality might come into place - We might never know the real answers exactly.

99. Burn After Reading
http://www.worstpreviews.com/images/photos/burnafterreading/burnafterreading1.jpg

After seeing No Country for Old Men, which I absolutely loved, I decided to see Burn After Reading the day it opened. Even though I knew No Country for Old Men was an action movie, and Burn After Reading was a comedy, No Country for Old Men was a high-octane thriller that literally made me stand up at the film's tense moments, and I thought Burn After Reading would be laugh-out-loud hilarious if the No Country for Old Men did that for me. I saw it and absolutely loved it. As I realized, it wasn't just a comedy, but it was also a thriller. The scene with Brad Pitt in the closet made me jump, because it was something I wasn't expecting. Not only having the right mood, it also has an all-star cast - including John Malkovich who I really enjoy. George Clooney is good, too. Frances McDormand, in my opinion, is extremely talented as an actress and to me it seemed like this was one of her best roles, besides Far+go (another Coen Brothers film.) I don't really care that much for Tilda Swinton, but I did like her in Michael Clayton and The Chronicles of Narnia. And Brad Pitt, happens to be one of my favorite actors, and out of all the movies he has been in, I'd have to say I loved his role in this one the most. His character acted so stupid and just... "idiotic", and that's what I liked about it.

[MovieMan8877445]

NCFOM was definitely not an action movie, I jut had to point that out.

[Swan]

I like seeing Cloverfield on your list. Great movie, one of my favorites as well.

[Vertical Gunn]

NCFOM was definitely not an action movie, I jut had to point that out.

In a way it is... and it can be called one.

[Vertical Gunn]

I like seeing Cloverfield on your list. Great movie, one of my favorites as well.

I already knew that from here (http://cloverfieldmovieforum.com/). ;)

[mark f]

I'd call it a thriller but not an action film.

[Vertical Gunn]

I'd call it a thriller but not an action film.

Yeah, but don't they sorta run together? Explosions, guns n' ammo, and the old classic western formula with murder and crime.

[MovieMan8877445]

In a way it is... and it can be called one.

Not really, it's really a drama thriller. There really isn't that much action in it at all.

[David Melody]

I'd have to agree without on the Cloverfield part. The theater version made the movie what it was.

[Vertical Gunn]

98. Beowulf
http://www.worstpreviews.com/images/photos/beowulf/beowulf1.jpg

When I saw this movie, I didn't know what to think. First of all, I love John Malkovich, Anthony Hopkins, and Ray Winstone, so this movie was very good. But, the best thing about the movie was that it was an entirely faithful adaption of the literature piece, and it amazed me seeing it on the big screen, and Robert Zemeckis created a cinematic masterpiece.

97. Horton Hears a Who!
http://www.worstpreviews.com/images/photos/hortonhearsawho/hortonhearsawho1.gif

Being the animated feature to Dr. Seuss' original classic book, Horton Hears a Who! may be entirely unfaithful to the original, but it sure can be a fun adventure and it does have humor for all ages. Plus, Jim Carrey and Steve Carell were outstanding and they were the best for the roles.

96. Wanted
http://www.worstpreviews.com/images/photos/wanted/wanted1.jpg

Despite disliking Angelina Jolie, Wanted is a fast-paced thrill ride with one of my favorite actors, Morgan Freeman. James McAvoy is alright, but I really don't care for him. Usually, he is just in all these British movies set during the American Revolution. But Wanted is very good and it has the perfect tone for adventure.

95. Gremlins
http://forums.genvibe.com/zerofile/13300/Gremlins2.jpghttp://filmwad.com/fw_images/secondsequels/gremlins2SPLASH.jpg

Gremlins is an all-time classic. Most of the movies on my list so far have been newer movies, but trust me - there are tons of movies that will be on this list that are older like this one. Gremlins is a horror movie for the ages, filled with humor, adventure, and well... Gremlins. They're all over the place!

[MovieMan8877445]

Beowulf was just average to me, I didn't really like it at all. Having Wanted on there makes up for Beowulf being on there though.

[Swan]

I love Gremlins! One of the best on your list so far. :)

I also enjoyed Horton Hears a Who! and Wanted (Horton Hears a Who! moreso).

[David Melody]

Ugh, BeoWulf made me gag.

Wanted, was surprisingly awesome. I didn't expect it at all.

[Vertical Gunn]

94. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
http://thecia.com.au/reviews/h/images/harry-potter-1-1.jpg

I think the only movie in the world with a good cast and perfect story (besides Narnia), would have to be Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I love all the movies mostly, but the first one I love the most, and this is the only one of my list. Very well put together, and Christopher Columbus directed, who's movies I love.

[n3wt]

Nicely done Gunn very nice so far!

[Vertical Gunn]

93. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
http://www.worstpreviews.com/images/photos/walkhard/walkhard1.jpg

It's rare that Judd Apatow creates a superb and hilarious motion picture. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is one hilarious flippin' movie. It's one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, and it kept me laughing the entire way through. John C. Reily (who sang every song himself) was inspring. And when the end comes, you'll wish it wasn't over.

[David Melody]

Spot on with harry potter. Although to me, it was the most magical potter of all.:D

[Vertical Gunn]

92. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
http://www.worstpreviews.com/images/photos/talladeganights/talladeganights1.gif

Judd Apatow's Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby was another one of Judd Apatow's "rare" masterpieces. It made a spot in Will Ferrell's and John C. Reily's careers, and it pleased fans of the genre.

[Vertical Gunn]

I just noticed this is my 1,000th Post!!!

[mark f]

Wow, I thought that Beowulf was the second best flick on the list so far, after Gremlins.

[Vertical Gunn]

91. Night of the Living Dead
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/Kooshmeister/Movie%20Deaths/Night%20of%20the%20Living%20Dead%201990/night_of_the_living_dead_1990_ben05.jpg

A top-notch faithful remake to the original, Night of the Living Dead proves that horror movies, zombie flicks, and gore splashers can be remade successfuly, but only if the director sticks to the original and tries his best to make it faithful.

[Vertical Gunn]

90. Friday the 13th
http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/061026/162828__bacon_l.jpg

It's one of the best horror movies ever made in my book (n3wt's, too) and its classic tone of horror keeps the movie alive to this day.

[n3wt]

Definatly dude it is a awesome movie and set the way for many to follow.

[Vertical Gunn]

89. Donnie Darko
http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2006/04/12/fondue_donniedarko_wideweb__470x299,0.jpg

Vivid, dark, and deep - Donnie Darko is a horror movie that is better genreized as a sci-fi drama and better described as an apocalyptic thriller with an all-star cast.

[Vertical Gunn]

88. Tropic Thunder
http://www.worstpreviews.com/images/photos/tropicthunder/tropicthunder2.jpg

Ben Stiller's Judd Apatow-like comedy explores the depths of Hell and grisly realistic war, in a comedic tone non-stop laughs and an all-star cast. Who wouldn't love this movie?

[Vertical Gunn]

87. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
http://www.worstpreviews.com/images/photos/forgettingsarahmarshall/forgettingsarahmarshall1.jpg

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a romantic comedy from Judd Apatow that explores the inside of love. The movie is one of Apatow's best, and that's one of the reasons I liked it. Some romantic comedies make it, some don't and fall flat on their face. This one definitely made it.

[Vertical Gunn]

86. Superbad
http://www.worstpreviews.com/images/photos/superbad/superbad1.gif

Judd Apatow's Superbad is not only his best comedy, but a perfect success in being a comedic masterpiece overall. And as the plot thickens, so do the humorous thrills.

[Vertical Gunn]

85. Fight Club
http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/061025/15381__fight_club_l.jpg

Being one of the best movies I have ever seen, Brad Pitt and Edward Norton put on outstanding performances, and practically make the movie as good as it is.

[Pyro Tramp]

What is it with name dropping Apatow? And i didn't see hardly any themes from "his" films in Tropic Thunder, i.e. romance.

[honeykid]

With a few exceptions, it's like you've taken lots of films that I never want to see, and put them all on one list. :laugh:

That said, I'm still looking forward to seeing what's next VG.

[mark f]

That's because V.G. has always claimed it's an Apatow flick, and he just won't let go.

[Pyro Tramp]

Christ, so Talledega Nights AND Dewey Cox are apparently "rare" Apatow masterpieces in a list inundated with his other films? Have you seen the films Dewey Cox pastiches'?

Describing films as older relates to those made in the 80s?

James McAvoy stars in British movies set during the American Revolution?!?! SUCH AS?!!!

but only if the director sticks to the original and tries his best to make it faithful.

One word, Psycho. Actually, two more The Fly. I'd much rather see a director take a concept from another film and make it their own instead of recycling whats already been done which is pointless and slightly redundant. Being faithful is good when adapting other sources but i think for films the opposite applies.

[Vertical Gunn]

It's a damn comedy movie! It has Danny McBride!

[Vertical Gunn]

With a few exceptions, it's like you've taken lots of films that I never want to see, and put them all on one list. :laugh:

That said, I'm still looking forward to seeing what's next VG.

That's good to know. No wonder nobody likes the movies you like. Try and see the previous replies I got from other MoFos. ;)

[Vertical Gunn]

That's because V.G. has always claimed it's an Apatow flick, and he just won't let go.

Uh, nope. :nope:

Hmmm... See what I had to say to Pyro Tramp. I don't feel like wasting my time to pointless stuff.

[Vertical Gunn]

James McAvoy has been in I don't know how many British movies, most set back in the "old times" (American Revoluton was a metaphor.)

For example:
Bright Young Things
Becoming Jane
Atonement

I don't guess The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe would count, but it might as well.

[honeykid]

That's good to know. No wonder nobody likes the movies you like. Try and see the previous replies I got from other MoFos. ;)

Of course most people don't like the films I like. I've got good taste. :D

[mark f]

Uh, nope. :nope:

Hmmm... See what I had to say to Pyro Tramp. I don't feel like wasting my time to pointless stuff.

OK. So I'm wrong. I thought you were Mr. Metro. He thought it was an Apatow flick. But if you never were Mr. Metro, I apologize, but whatever I said was not worth negative rep because if it were, you would deserve much more, my friend, so think about it, OK?

[Vertical Gunn]

84. The Savages
http://www.ghostinthemachine.net/savages2008.jpg

Being an absolute but depressing drama, The Savages is a comedy film that makes you laugh, but it also wants to make you cry.

[Powdered Water]

You don't neg rep Mr.Eff... Seriously.

[Vertical Gunn]

83. X-Men
http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2000_X-Men/hugh_jackman_x_men_001.jpghttp://www.virginmedia.com/images/x-men-insults-gal-431.jpg

One of the best adaptions ever in the comic-book world, X-Men is half-faithful and half-imaginative, which makes one great movie, adding an all-star cast.

[Vertical Gunn]

You don't neg rep Mr.Eff... Seriously.

Not sure if you're kidding, but please don't tell me what to do. I gave him a positive rep due to him [sort of] apologizing.

[MovieMan8877445]

Good list so far, but you're like naming my least favorite Apatow filcks so far. He's my favorite person associated with comedy, but Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin are easily his two best movies, with Superbad at a close third, actually Superbad may be his second favorite of mine with The 40-Year-Old Virgin at third.

[Lennon]

Not sure if you're kidding, but please don't tell me what to do. I gave him a positive rep due to him [sort of] apologizing.

But you have admitted that you were Mr. Metro and Mr. Metro did say Tropic Thunder was an Apatow film, as stated HERE (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=17551).... So Mark doesn't have to apologize...

[Vertical Gunn]

82. Hellboy
http://www.bbspot.com/Images/News_Features/2004/03/hellboy.jpg

Hellboy is one damn good movie due to the fact I love Ron Perlman, and it is extremely fun. But, another high reason is that Guillermo Del Toro's directing is superb.

81. The Orphanage
http://img.metro.co.uk/i/pix/2008/07/orphanage010708_450x300.jpg

Yet another Guillermo Del Toro film, The Orphanage not only proves itself a worthy movie, but it proves that Del Toro is one outstanding producer.

[Vertical Gunn]

But you have admitted that you were Mr. Metro and Mr. Metro did say Tropic Thunder was an Apatow film, as stated HERE (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=17551).... So Mark doesn't have to apologize...

He didn't have to. I never asked him to apologize. I still gave him a positive rep for his kind words. They might have been sarcastic, but still, I felt it nice.

[mark f]

Del Toro produced The Orphanage.

[Lennon]

(American Revoluton was a metaphor.)

For example:
Bright Young Things
Becoming Jane
Atonement

I don't guess The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe would count, but it might as well.


Bright Young Things- 1930s

Becoming Jane- Like early 1800s, but there was no war in there....

Atonement- WWII



Where the hell did the American Revoloution come into any of these?

[Vertical Gunn]

80. The 40-Year-Old Virgin
http://www.tvblanket.com/image/the_40_year_old_virgin_1.JPG

Being another one of my favorite Apatow movies, Steve Carell puts on an outstanding yet hilarious performance as well... a 40-year-old virgin. Special thanks to MovieMan for the title, however I was actually planning it to be number 80 anyways. Still, thanks.

[Harry Lime]

What's with the discouragement of 14 and 15 year olds on this site? It makes me laugh sometimes, but not in the good way, like how I laughed the first time I saw Superbad, and the second time, and the tenth time.

[Vertical Gunn]

Del Toro produced The Orphanage.

Updated. :)
Thanks for the heads up, mark f.

[Lennon]

What's with the discouragement of 14 and 15 year olds on this site?

There is none, until they make stupid mistakes about movies.

[Vertical Gunn]

Beats me... :laugh:
Oh wait..... Hey!

[Swan]

I love Del Toro! Can't wait for Pan's Labyrinth because I know it's here. :p

[Vertical Gunn]

There is none, until they make stupid mistakes about movies.

Hey, what? :(
That's unfair.
Not to mention you make mistakes, period.

[Lennon]

But hey, thanks for the negative rep. All I said was that you made stupid mistakes about movies....

[Vertical Gunn]

It just might be...
It might not be....

Sleep in fear. :p

[Lennon]

That's unfair.Not to mention you make mistakes, period.

Not on a top 100 list, that ya know, you usually try to coordinate and think about before posting.

[Vertical Gunn]

But hey, thanks for the negative rep. All I said was that you made stupid mistakes about movies....

And you make stupid mistakes about movies. But, hey... Sorry.

[Lennon]

As far as the Del Toro goes, the costumes in his movies outshine any direction he gives.

[Vertical Gunn]

Not on a top 100 list, that ya know, you usually try to coordinate and think about before posting.

True. ;)

[Swan]

:( It better be!

[Vertical Gunn]

:( It better be!

It is. :)

[Vertical Gunn]

79. Elf
http://kingdomofstyle.typepad.co.uk/my_weblog/images/2007/12/02/2003_elf_002.jpg

I usually don't enjoy Will Ferrell that much, but Elf is one movie you have to see if you're a comedy lover.

[Iroquois]

Lordy.

[Harry Lime]

Okay that time I laughed in the good way, thanks Iroquois.

[Vertical Gunn]

78. The Shawshank Redemption
http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/070727/tearjerkers/shawshank_l.jpg

I loved this movie. Morgan Freeman is one of my favorite actors, and I love Stephen King's works. So watching this was fun. Tim Robbins I don't really care for that much, but anything with Freeman in it, I'll give a go - However, some movies he's in do not turn out well, but most of them do.

[Vertical Gunn]

Lordy.

Lordy lordy, I never roam again. :laugh:

[Vertical Gunn]

Okay that time I laughed in the good way, thanks Iroquois.

I might as well you give you a positive rep, since you laughed the good way. I wouldn't want to hear the bad way.

[Vertical Gunn]

That is if you can even hear a difference.

[Iroquois]

Where's #78 and #77?

[MovieMan8877445]

Where's #78 and #77?

lol, I just noticed that he missed those.

[Vertical Gunn]

77. The Dark Knight
http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/080827/Dark-Knight-Two-Face_l.jpg

Fast-paced, mind-blowing, and thrilling - The Dark Knight is one of the best superhero movies ever made, with Christopher Nolan climbing the ladder, and Aaron Eckhart outstanding as Two-Face.

[Vertical Gunn]

76. Pulp Fiction
http://sachem.suffolk.lib.ny.us/advisor/Flick%20Picks/images/pulp_fiction.jpg

Quentin Tarintino's Pulp Fiction is not only a thrilling 70's funk flick, but a ground-breaking film that builds suspense up to its revealing ending.

[Swan]

I obviously like seeing Shawshank on there. Pulp Fiction used to be in my top 3, but I didn't like it as much with repeated viewings. I still do like it, though! Great list so far.

[Vertical Gunn]

Thanks! :)

[Iroquois]

Do you really have to do them all one at a time?

If you managed to compose a meaty review for each individual post (like 7thson does), I wouldn't mind. But the way you write them, you could easily fit anywhere between 5 and 20 in a single post.

[Vertical Gunn]

75. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2001_Lord_of_the_Rings:_The_Fellowship_of_the_Ring/sean_bean_orlando_bloom_viggo_mortensen_the_lord_of_the_rings_the_fellowship_of_the_ring_001.jpghttp ://images.allmoviephoto.com/2001_Lord_of_the_Rings:_The_Fellowship_of_the_Ring/the_lord_of_the_rings_the_fellowship_of_the_ring_003.jpg

Five words: One outstanding film with power.

Just calm down. I guess I will, but some I will not. It really doesn't matter if you ask me, but sure.

[mikeython1]

Hey a lot of your pics are not showing. Just a little heads up.

[Vertical Gunn]

74. Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
http://www.ramasscreen.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/raiders_of_the_lost_ark_7.jpg

Unlike anything I have ever seen. Raiders packs alot of action and adventure into one 2-hour-film.

[Vertical Gunn]

73. The Silence of the Lambs
http://www.virginmedia.com/images/hanibal-l-431x300.jpg

One stylish horror flick + romance + crime thriller = One movie that stands out in film history.

72. The Matrix
http://hunternuttall.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/matrix-bullets.jpg

Keanu Reeves puts on a stunning performance as Neo, and the Watchowski Brothers create a genius vision of the future.

[Harry Lime]

After seeing Elf there, it's nice to see the last seven you posted, all 5/5.

[Vertical Gunn]

Hey a lot of your pics are not showing. Just a little heads up.

Thanks for letting me now. I'll try to fix the problem.

[Vertical Gunn]

71. Seven
http://listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/picture-1-24.png

A deadly thriller with smart twists, and a clever plot with nothing but suspense written all over it.

70. Wall-E
http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/05/wall_e_eve.jpg

Too cute to resist, too fun to hate.

[Lennon]

Where's #78 and #77?
They ran away out of sheer terror of becoming movies in VGs top 100?

[MovieMan8877445]

They ran away out of sheer terror of becoming movies in VGs top 100?

LOL, okay that was just too funny. +Rep for you.

[Vertical Gunn]

69. The Professional
http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/070620/action/pro_l.jpg

Jean Reno gives a breath-taking performance, as well as young Natalie Portman.

68. Forrest Gump
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/images/forrest-gump-feather.jpg

The storyline and plot is better than Tom Hank's performance, but that doesn't mean he fails to pull off a great role. I mainly liked this movie because its story is just so complete, but long.

67. Alien
http://images.allmoviephoto.com/1979_Alien/1979_alien_015.jpghttp://images.allmoviephoto.com/1979_Alien/1979_alien_016.jpg

Alien made me speachless.

66. Slumdog Millionaire
http://www.firstshowing.net/img/slumdog-millionaire-FL-01.jpg

On the brink of romance and drama, Slumdog Millionaire creates a profound vision through flashbacks, and love - like Forrest Gump in a way.

[Vertical Gunn]

They ran away out of sheer terror of becoming movies in VGs top 100?

:laugh: :indifferent: :mad:

[Lennon]

66. Slumdog Millionaire
http://www.firstshowing.net/img/slumdog-millionaire-FL-01.jpg

On the brink of romance and drama, Slumdog Millionaire creates a profound vision through flashbacks, and love - like Forrest Gump in a way.

Eh I found Slumdog to be wildly overrated. The more I think about it, the more I dislike it.

[Vertical Gunn]

65. The Patriot
http://l.yimg.com/img.movies.yahoo.com/ymv/us/img/hv/photo/movie_pix/columbia_pictures/the_patriot/patriot3.jpg

I find this movie really underrated. Mel Gibson did great, but I do agree the plot and formula was too slapstick. But mainly and overall, The Patriot was an epic war movie I really enjoyed.

[Vertical Gunn]

64. Saving Private Ryan
http://www.virginmedia.com/images/saving-private-ryan.jpg

Tom Hanks is a really good actor, but honestly I enjoyed Matt Damon's performance better. The movie in my opinion, is one of the greatest war movies I've ever seen.

[Vertical Gunn]

63. No Country for Old Men
http://cineleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/javierbardem-no-country-for-old-men.jpg

The Coen Brothers have created a high-octane thriller. I really enjoyed this movie. I literally stood up and put my face to the screen in some parts.

[Lennon]

Dude, condense please....

[Vertical Gunn]

62. Full Metal Jacket
http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDReviews9/full-metal-jacket/full-metal-jacket-PDVD_00901.jpg

The beginning of Full Metal Jacket really surprised me. I wasn't expecting something like that. But it has to be one of the most realistic war movies I have ever seen. One thing that kind of made me scratch my head, was the beginning of the movie has nothing in it but cussing. But after the training section of the movie, it barely has any language at all. Not that it matters. I really liked this movie, so cheers to this.

[Harry Lime]

Don't worry about Lennon's comments Vertical Gunn, as long as you don't have Clerks 2 ranked higher than fourth on this list you probably have him beat.

[Vertical Gunn]

61. Hotel Rwanda
http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/gallery/1140346/photo_02_hires.jpg

Don Cheadle really put on a stunning performance. The beginning was kind of odd in a way, because I thought it would begin different, but I did really like the movie. Extremely sad, but good.

60. Back to the Future
http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Arts/Arts_/Pictures/2007/08/03/future460.jpg

Who doesn't love Back to the Future? It's an 80's flick that is filled with spectacle and humor, sci-fi, and adventure. Very good movie overall, however I really didn't like Michael J. in this movie for some reason - To me it just seemed like he acted different. But the movie was still very good, and I enjoyed it.

[Ðèstîñy]

Dude, condense please....

Don't worry about Lennon's comments Vertical Gunn.

Actually, it is better to condense. It's the norm to do five to ten movies, per post. Most members did.

[Harry Lime]

It's never any fun doing what most people do.

[Vertical Gunn]

Don't worry about Lennon's comments Vertical Gunn, as long as you don't have Clerks 2 ranked higher than fourth on this list you probably have him beat.

Lol, we'll have to wait and see. I already know what movies are on the list, but it just might be.

[Vertical Gunn]

It's never any fun doing what most people do.

That is very true. :yup:

[Vertical Gunn]

59. There Will Be Blood
http://www.reeltalktv.com/pictures/ThereWillBeBlood-3.jpg

Daniel Day-Lewis absolutely blew me away. His acting was perfect in this movie, along with Paul Dano's. Overall, extremely good movie. I enjoyed it alot.

58. The Green Mile
http://www.moviewallpapers.net/images/wallpapers/1999/the-green-mile/the-green-mile-1-800.jpg

The Green Mile has to be Stephen King's best adaption. The movie was really good, and the ending almost made me cry.

[Vertical Gunn]

57. Fargo
http://www.tisbuscemi.com/wp-content/uploads/fargo410.jpg

The Coen Brothers really did it big in my book. If it wasn't for Fargo, they wouldn't be where they are now. Worth a watch for any action and drama fan, because it's a mix of both of those including: Crime, suspense, and humor.

[Harry Lime]

Destiny, my post about not worrying about Lennon's comments had nothing to do with his about how many movies to list in each post and the condensing rules here. As for my post about it never being fun to do what most people do, that I'll stand by forever, and it again had nothing to do with the condensing rules. It was a general statement. Cool?

[Ðèstîñy]

It's never any fun doing what most people do.

I didn't ask what was fun. I'm saying what is the norm for a message board. That is why huge posts are allowed, and why Yoda took the time to put in a multi quote tab. You know, to stop so much double, triple . . . posting. He's already been asked by me, and 5 or so other members, to stop posting so many times in a row. I guess if he can't make multiple accounts, he'll do it with his posts.

[Vertical Gunn]

56. Gladiator
http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/99/77299-004-1CA82604.jpg

Gladiator is a very good movie. It is pretty gory, but it is pretty realistic, too. Russell Crowe's performance moved me, as well.

This is getting crazy. Who cares about how many flippin' movies are in a post?

[Ðèstîñy]

Quite a few people, obviously.

You already know, though. That's not where I'm coming from. I asked you in private, just yesterday, to do the same thing in all threads. Others had asked you to stop posting so much in a row. You've just always liked pushing as much as possible. Just like with the accounts, then the you-tube links, the birthday threads, etc . . . I'm tired of your games.

I'm not even going to waste my time anymore. Not with asking you.

[Vertical Gunn]

55. The Sixth Sense
http://jaguar.it.miami.edu/%7Echris/formal_methods_in_the_movies/TheSixthSense.jpg

M. Night Shyamalan's best movie. Moving, touching, and scary. Bruce Willis put on a great performance, too. A very good movie.

54. The Bourne Identity
http://www.tvpredictions.com/bourne.jpg

I loved Matt Damon in this movie. As you know, I am a Matt Damon fan, and to me, this is the best movie he was in.

[TheUsualSuspect]

At least I'm not the only one who liked the Night Of The Living Dead remake.

[Vertical Gunn]

I respect you, Destiny. Being a mod means alot to me, but I am not playing games. It's not double posting, because I'm getting the list completed, who cares if it's 1 movie per post? I'm getting it in the list, it really doesn't matter as long as it's there. Double and triple posting is posting a message in the same thread just a minute after or so, for no reason. I'm just adding the movies to the list.

[Vertical Gunn]

53. Ratatouille
http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2007_Ratatouille/2007_ratatouille_002.jpg

One of Pixar's best movies. The graphics were amazing, and the voice actors gave it their best. I loved this movie, and I am a huge fan of it.

[Harry Lime]

My sedition has led me to being labelled a Sophist.

[Ðèstîñy]

I respect you, Destiny.

He says right after negative repping me twice.

That word must mean something different to you.


It's called moderating, Sherlock!

[Vertical Gunn]

52. Finding Nemo
http://www.3dtotal.com/team/interviews/carlos_baena/baena_images/FindingNemo_promo.jpg

Thank God Pixar does not make just some childish slapstick movies, and actual masterpieces. When I saw Finding Nemo at the movies, I absolutely loved it. It was very entertaining, cute, and funny. Anybody will love this movie.

51. V for Vendetta
http://moviesmedia.ign.com/movies/image/article/674/674429/v-for-vendetta-20051208093357493-000.jpg

A visionary look into the future, with perspective and realistic plot outlines, which is what I liked about the movie.

[Vertical Gunn]

He says right after negative repping me twice.

That word must mean something different to you.

No, I know what RESPECT means, it's just you deserved the negative reps.

[MovieMan8877445]

Wait...so you say Ratatouille is the best Pixar movie, but then like 2 movies later you put Finding Nemo? That makes no sense.

[Vertical Gunn]

50. The Incredibles
http://www.datsun.org/fairlady/TheIncrediblesLarge.gif

Another success, and one of Pixar's finest. The Incredibles is a fast-paced adventure thrill-ride comedy movie with nothing but spectacular CGI effects.

[Vertical Gunn]

Wait...so you say Ratatouille is the best Pixar movie, but then like 2 movies later you put Finding Nemo? That makes no sense.

Don't worry. It was a typo. I fixed it.

49. The Blair Witch Project
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/billythesquid/blog%20images/Movies-Blair-Witch-Project-The.jpg

One of the scariest movies I have ever seen. Thrilling, shocking... disturbing, dark, powerful, and a gripping nail-biter.

[Swan]

Every movie I have see that has been on your list since I last checked in are exceptionally great films. Nice.

[Vertical Gunn]

48. The Thing
http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/070503/scifigallery/thething_l.jpg

I bought this movie and hadn't seen it. When I watched it, I thought it was amazing. John Carpenter's remake was better than I thought it would be. The classic version I really didn't like, but this one I did.

47. Children of Men
http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/environmentandenergy/children-of-men-theo-kee1_1166716426.jpg

I love apocalyptic thrillers. And Children of Men is one of the greatest of them all.

[Swan]

48. The Thing
http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/070503/scifigallery/thething_l.jpg

I bought this movie and hadn't seen it. When I watched it, I thought it was amazing. John Carpenter's remake was better than I thought it would be. The classic version I really didn't like, but this one I did.

I bought both the original and the remake on Amazon yesterday. I don't really know what to expect, but I've heard good and bad things about both - your comment about not liking the original being the first bad thing I've heard about it. Which is a good thing, because now I'm not as hyped up to see it as I was. My mind will be more open. :)

[Swan]

47. Children of Men

46. Flags of Our Fathers
http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2006_Flags_of_Our_Fathers/2006_flags_of_aour_fathers_041.jpg

A great war movie. Clint Eastwood has directed an amazing film, and I really enjoyed it. I saw it in theaters the day it opened after loving the book it was based on. I loved this movie.

46. Flags of Our Fathers

[Vertical Gunn]

45. The Exorcist
http://captainhowdy.com/images/The%20Exorcist/186.jpg

Chilling, and scary as Hell.

[Vertical Gunn]

I still haven't seen that, I'm a huge Eastwood fan and everytime I go to Best Buy, they don't seem to have it.

The Exorcist is exactly as you say it is; chilling and scary as hell.

Makes me question my effin' beliefs.

[Vertical Gunn]

44. Glory
http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/080220/Oscars/Morgan-Freeman-Glory_l.jpg

I bought this movie and watched it only yesterday. It moved me, and I really enjoyed it. A really great movie.

[Vertical Gunn]

The Exorcist is exactly as you say it is; chilling and scary as hell.

[Vertical Gunn]

43. Big Fish
http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2003_Big_Fish/2003_big_fish_003.jpg

Magical, mystical, and touching. Big Fish is a tale of fantasy and adventure.

[Swan]

I know. Every time I see that picture I **** my pants. It makes me think that the demon in the picture is going to jump out behind me, or come through my door and kill me or something. :eek:

42. A Christmas Story
http://www.paulhackett.ca/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/achristmasstory.jpg

Even when it's not Christmas time, I love to watch this movie. It's hilarious, and I've always had a passion for it.

[Vertical Gunn]

41. Rocky
http://www.virginmedia.com/microsites/movies/slideshow/best-fight-scenes/img_2.jpg

One of the best damn movies I have ever seen. Perhaps the only movie Sylvester Stallone fits a role for.

[Vertical Gunn]

40. Dr. No
http://www.britfilms.tv/v3/user_files/Image/Youve%20had%20your%20six.jpg

Sean Connery's best movie, and the best James Bond movie.

[Swan]

Rocky rocks. I haven't seen it since I was a wee lad, but I remember some stuff from it. So I guess it's pretty nostalgic.

A rewatch is in order.

[Vertical Gunn]

39. GoodFellas
http://img.metro.co.uk/i/pix/2007/09/goodfellasREX_450x300.jpg

GoodFellas has an all-star cast and a great outline. I loved this movie and the first time I saw it, I couldn't stop talking about. It's a really great movie if you haven't seen it.

[Vertical Gunn]

38. The Usual Suspects
http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/080324/Villains/Usual-Suspects-Spacey_l.jpg

Kevin Spacey is one of my favorite actors, and I loved this movie. It is truly amazing.

[Vertical Gunn]

37. Apocalypse Now
http://www.libertyfilmfestival.com/libertas/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/Apocalypse_Now-1.jpg

A great war movie... a great masterpiece. Definitely a movie to watch if you love war movies.

[Vertical Gunn]

36. Taxi Driver
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/84/Taxi_Driver_still_5.jpg

DeNiro is magnificent, a great film. And Taxi Driver is DeNiro's best movie.

[Vertical Gunn]

Rocky rocks. I haven't seen it since I was a wee lad, but I remember some stuff from it. So I guess it's pretty nostalgic.

"This is my first time." "You're kidding." Very good movie, I absolutely loved it.

[Vertical Gunn]

34. American History X
http://www.lawrencelab.org/Outreach/2006/TitusPage/images/American%20history%20x.4.jpg

My favorite movie with Edward Norton. Chilling, a great drama movie with suspense.

[Vertical Gunn]

33. The Departed
http://bitterpress.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/the-departed.jpg

It may be one movie, but it is so much more. A very dark and powerful cop film, DiCaprio and Damon are wonderful together. Damon is superb, and I enjoyed this movie due to the fact that I am a Matt Damon fan.

[Vertical Gunn]

32. Chinatown
http://bluekitchen.net/chinatown_still.jpg

One of the best movies I have ever seen. Chinatown is one Hell of a film with a formula too masterful to compete with.

[Vertical Gunn]

31. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
http://www.fictionontheweb.co.uk/top250films/Eternal_Sunshine.jpg

Jim Carrey is magnificent in this romantic drama with a creative sci-fi plot.

[Vertical Gunn]

30. The Prestige
http://www.njfilmfest.com/ThePrestige1.jpg

Christian Bale is superb, and this film is nothing but G-R-E-A-T.

[Vertical Gunn]

29. Rescue Dawn
http://www.popmatters.com/images/film_art/r/rescue-dawn-2007b.jpg

Christian Bale is impressive, and the plot is magnificent. Werner Herzog has directed a masterpiece.

[Vertical Gunn]

28. Cube
http://blogs.amctv.com/scifi-scanner/images/6312298321920632.jpg

Despite its terrible acting and crappy special effects, Cube is one of my favorite all-time movies because its story is so profound, and the movie is one adrenaline-filled thriller.

[Vertical Gunn]

27. Paper Clips
http://www.hollywoodjesus.com/movie/paper_clips/02.jpg

This documentary about a school group who plan to collect a paper clip for every Jew who died during the Holocaust is sad, yet inspires the mind to open at the number of each victim.

[Vertical Gunn]

26. I Am Legend
http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2007/12/08/alg_i-am-legend.jpg

A great apocalyptic thriller with a nice touch, and a great performance from Will Smith.

[Harry Lime]

Liking the list up to this point for the most part Vertical, keep it up. Some of my all time favourites have made it onto your list too.

[Vertical Gunn]

25. Vacation
http://www.lazydork.com/movies/natlampvacation.jpg

This is no classic comedy film, it's one damn film that should have it's own religion.

[Vertical Gunn]

24. Evil Dead
http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh112/hernanbugUNO/EvilDead.jpg

A horror film with a touch of black comedy. How could it get even better? Did I mention it's a zombie movie?

[Vertical Gunn]

23. Airplane!
http://www.nba.com/media/sonics/airplane_movie%28300x168%29.jpg

Airplane! is one ****ing hilarious movie.

[Vertical Gunn]

22. Pan's Labyrinth
http://www.readingeagle.com/blog/moviehouse/pan%202.jpg

****ing twisted, sick, and fantastic - Pan's Labyrinth is a grisly and sadistic fairy tale that will get inside your mind in a good way, that makes the film memorable.

[Harry Lime]

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue."

It's too bad I can't give you some reputation points for some of your choices, Yoda's working on the problem, but when it's fixed I'll come back and let you know what are my favourites by giving them a thumbs up.

Oh ya, I watched Vacation a couple of nights ago for probably the 5th time, still has me laughing.

Harrison Ford is stunning - The best sci-fi movie ever made.

If you think this movie is awful, you must be... dreaming.

[Harry Lime]

Ah no, not Clerks 2, anything but Clerks 2. Kevin Smith closed the book on Jay and Silent Bob, God herself (Alanis Morisette) closed it at the end of the credits. Anything but Clerks 2, that two musical montage needing, unfunny horse f^cking, sorry excuse for a movie. I'm just playing around, while I hated the film, this is your list, but along with the positive rep points I said I'd give you, I'm gonna give you a negative one for Clerks 2. And the list was going so well, I saw Clerks there, and then, nooooo, oh the humanity!

[Pyro Tramp]

I think the single posts are just rep fishing, so even though you're starting to list some of my favourite movies i'm still only going to give you one +ve rep point :)

But Clerks II makes me happy being there, I just watched it last night. What's your favorite part? (besides Kinky Kelly)

[Vertical Gunn]

Sorry everybody, I had to take away Clerks II. It just seemed to me like it didn't belong in this list. And I realized that it wasn't Kevin Smith's best movie, and that Clerks was.

But honestly, you have to admit that Blade Runner is superb, and can outdo Clerks II any day.

[Vertical Gunn]

18. Oldboy
http://www.moviecritic.com.au/images/oldboy-hammer-fight-corridor-scene1.jpg

Definitely a thrill-ride, Oldboy succeeds not only as a great foreign film, but as a great film overall.

17. Ronin
http://blog.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/ronin.jpg

Sharp, clever, and thrilling - Ronin is a film you will never forget.

16. Shrek
http://www.virginmedia.com/microsites/movies/slideshow/animal-movie-stars/img_10.jpg

Not only is Shrek an adventure for kids, but it is a hype-overload comedy for adults.

[Harry Lime]

I love how much Oldboy is liked on this site. When I first saw it I was blown away, thinking I was going to recommend this movie to my friends and they were gonna dig it too. But no, nobody liked it, it was too weird, it was boring, blah blah blah. They suck.

[Vertical Gunn]

15. Island of the Blue Dolphins
http://www.besthotelsresorts.com/sybariticresorts/turtle-22.jpg

A memorable masterpiece with mixed feelings involving death, abandonment, survival, thrills, and action.

14. Phoenix Lights... We Are Not Alone

http://www.pinkraygun.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/phoenixlights1.jpg

A stunning documentary on the true events of 1997's Phoenix Lights, which today are still unexplained, and continue to happen.

13. Incident at Loch Ness
http://ruthlessreviews.com/pics5/nessie1.jpg

A powerful masterpiece from Werner Herzog, this documentary explores the depths of Loch Ness, in this stunning investigation into the Loch Ness Monster.

12. Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam
http://hcl.harvard.edu/hfa/images/films/2006summer/vietnam_dearamerica.jpg

A touching and powerfully moving film.

11. 12 Angry Men
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/images/200710/20071025theat_12_angry_men_106_500.jpg

A tour de force drama film fueled with emotion and powerful performances.

Sorry everybody, I had to take away Clerks II. It just seemed to me like it didn't belong in this list. And I realized that it wasn't Kevin Smith's best movie, and that Clerks was.

[mark f]

Your last post is very confusing to me. For #15, you have a photo of Brooke Shields from The Blue Lagoon. I'm not sure what exact movie #14 is supposed to be, and IMDb lists two 2008 movies and a mini-series. #13 is not directed by Herzog, and just about the last thing anybody could call it is "powerful" since that is obviously not what it's trying to be. #11's photo is the OK cable remake directed by William Friedkin.

[Vertical Gunn]

10. A Hard Day's Night
http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/020923/15829__hard_l.jpg

Outstanding! The best musical feature I have ever seen.

9. Bus 174
http://www.hbo.com/docs/img/programs/bus174/506x316/506x316_bus174.jpg

An amazing yet thrilling look at the true story of a crime without mercy.

8. Taxi to the Dark Side
http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/080116/taxi-to-the-dark-side-iraq_l.jpg

Like Redacted, Taxi to the Dark Side explores the "dark" side of what war has to offer, and all in-between.

7. Man on Wire
http://trishutchinson.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/petit3a1.jpg

Blew me away. I was speachless at the end of this movie. I didn't know what to think, it was so good. I sat there when the credits rolled on screen for about five minutes and realized what was going on, that the movie was over.

6. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
http://whyiswhoiswhatare.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/what-are-the-names-of-the-seven-dwarfs.jpg

An original Disney classic for the ages.

5. The Terminator
http://i27.tinypic.com/4vprte.jpg

A suspenseful sci-fi tour-de-force that will literally have you on the edge of your seat.

4. Jaws
http://static.toptorrents.org/images/203089/81554.jpg

Jaws is so good, I can't describe what I liked about it, other than it's a dark and thrilling work of art.

3. Mary Poppins
http://a.media.abcfamily.go.com/abcfamily/Specials/25-Days-of-Christmas/Schedule/Mary_Poppins_large.jpg

Literally "perfect in every way."

2. The Godfather
http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/080417/Al-Pacino/Godfather_l.jpg

The Godfather is one action-drama film that beats all the other movies on my list X 1,000,000. Suspenseful, sad, thrilling, dark, magical, and most of all: Beautiful.

[Vertical Gunn]

Which 12 Angry Men are you talking about, VG? The original, black-and-white version, or the remake?

The remake.

[mark f]

In the above #2, are you referring to the first two Godfather movies or just the first one?

[Vertical Gunn]

First of all, #15 is an image from Island of the Blue Dolphins, and that is Celia Kaye in the image, and the bird she is holding is in the movie, who's name is Lurai. And #14 was a movie released in theaters, and it also premiered on the Discovery Channel. And, I know Werner Herzog did not direct Incident at Loch Ness, but he wrote it and was in it.

[Vertical Gunn]

In the above #2, are you referring to the first two Godfather movies or just the first one?

The first one. Why? Is that an image of the second one?

[Vertical Gunn]

1. Toy Story
http://seamanticks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/toystory.jpg

Best movie ever made. Charming, stylish for kids, and creative.

[mark f]

The first one. Why? Is that an image of the second one?

Bingo.

As far as #15 goes, everybody can tell that's Brooke Shields from The Blue Lagoon, but if you don't believe me, check the 11th photo down the left column here (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.besthotelsresorts.com/sybariticresorts/turtle-22.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.besthotelsresorts.com/turtle.htm&usg=__ikEVn1FnXfZyKjoy_nvsCGAIkvc=&h=227&w=270&sz=29&hl=en&start=5&tbnid=1wGe3vi1ghQyfM:&tbnh=95&tbnw=113&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dblue%2Blagoon%2Bshields%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den).

Something tells me Vertical is just making this list up for rep...

[Harry Lime]

I haven't seen Man on Wire or Taxi to the Dark Side, looks like I have to add a couple more to the list I've had to create since coming to this site, supplementing my other list which has been an ongoing project for years. If you like Vietnam documentaries, I'd suggest Hearts and Minds, pretty disturbing but still great, made during the end of the war. I was also a big fan of The Fog of War, containing interviews with Robert McNamara, more like a confession than an interview. The Incident at Loch Ness, might be an interesting couple of hours too, I looked it up and although it wasn't directed by Herzog (of whom I am a big fan) but it was written and produced by him. Anyway, I like the list, and appreciate the effort.

[Harry Lime]

But what do you get for all this rep? Do they send you a check or can you refer to it during a job interview and get a leg up on the competition? I've never heard of anyone placing Mary Poppins at #3, expecting to get rep for that. No offence to anyone who loves the film, I'm sure it's great.

You should know... It is your like 6th favorite of all-time....


Something tells me Vertical is just making this list up for rep...

*sighs :rolleyes:

*sighs :rolleyes:

Hey I'm just sayin' because it seems to me that you've never seen some of the movies in your top 20, considereing the fact that you couldn't tell that the image wasn't from the freakin' movie.

[Vertical Gunn]

Bingo.

As far as #15 goes, everybody can tell that's Brooke Shields from The Blue Lagoon, but if you don't believe me, check the 11th photo down the left column here (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.besthotelsresorts.com/sybariticresorts/turtle-22.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.besthotelsresorts.com/turtle.htm&usg=__ikEVn1FnXfZyKjoy_nvsCGAIkvc=&h=227&w=270&sz=29&hl=en&start=5&tbnid=1wGe3vi1ghQyfM:&tbnh=95&tbnw=113&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dblue%2Blagoon%2Bshields%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den).

That's pretty convincing. Go here (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=Island+of+the+Blue+Dolphins+Movie&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2). That is the site you told me go to, if you can see the same picture. I saw Island of the Blue Dolphins and I remember a parrot. I saw The Blue Lagoon forever ago, so I didn't really realize it. But thanks, positive rep for you.

^^^^^^^^See the post above this one^^^^^^^^^^

Dammit! I always get The Godfather and The Godfather Part II mixed up. I've only seen each movie once in the trilogy, but it's one Hell of a movie. Now I'm positive the new one I posted is from The Godfather, because I remember the scene in the movie.

Thanks for the heads up, mark f!

Okay, but explain the Godfather one. I mean shouldn't you know your favorite movie?

Yes, that's the same page, but it's still from The Blue Lagoon

Due to the fact that all my images are mysteriously being invisible and deleting themselves from the page, I've decided to update the thread entirely with new pictures.

Okay, there's like no point to that really. It really just seems like you're doing it for your post count now.

[Vertical Gunn]

Or, atleast the ones that didn't work previously.

Updated. :) All pictures should work now. If they begin to disappear again, please tell me so I can try and fix them.

[Swan]

I don't think he meant redo it, MM.

[Vertical Gunn]

Bad news. I am going to have to redo my entire Top 100 list. Why?

I had a death in the family recently and it was really depressing for me. Half the movies on my top 100 list I haven't even seen, and I got them confused with other movies. It's been really hard for me.
Plus, there are some movies I said I have seen, in which I really haven't. For example, The Punisher I was getting confused with Hitman (don't know why). And Revolutionary Road, I thought was freakin' Glory Road. I just need to do this whole thing over, correct and complete, revised and entirely true, or otherwise it was a waste of time in making this thread. This whole death thing has really gotten to me for some time now, and I'm not letting this happen again. Trust me, this next top 100 is my true list, and even though the death in the family happened in October, it's been hurting me, and making me hateful, and mean. Forgive me if this upsets you, I will probably attract more and more people with my new list, and NO DOUBLE POSTING, NO TRIPPLE POSTING, NO 1 MOVIE PER POST THING. I really don't even like Puppet Master, martian leader. Sorry, I got that confused with Demonic Toys. It has just been real confusing, because I began to read my list and then I was like, I haven't seen this movie. Kept on reading, ended up I don't even remember some of the posts I made. Everybody needs to understand and just run along with it. And arguing and becoming pissed off would really hurt my feelings for my grandmother. Thanks. Hope this means we can still be friends, martian leader.

[Vertical Gunn]

And by the way, the negative repping and double posting and arguing with other MoFos - Those days are over. You have my word. ;)

Bump, I'm probably going to have to redo my review thread, too. And go back and re-edit my post ratings in Upcoming Movies threads and so forth. Oh well, it has to be done.

[meatwadsprite]

Sorry everybody, I had to take away Clerks II. It just seemed to me like it didn't belong in this list. And I realized that it wasn't Kevin Smith's best movie, and that Clerks was.

Good decision !

[Lennon]

Oh come on! Am I the only one here who appreciates "inter-species erotica?"

Closed at Vertical's request.
