The MoFo Top 100 of the 2000s Countdown

It's kind of incredible that Avatar fell out of favor as quickly as it did.

Tim Horton's is trash. I can still remember the rage I would feel whenever someone suggested we go for lunch there when on the road for work.

True, but how was this not inevitable. Outside of the crazy people who wanted to live inside of that movie, did anyone actually like it?

Yes.

omg its the f*cking worst. what a plague on this country.

Because the ones that didn't make it are always more interesting

__________________

Also curious about Avatar's rank. I had it at #10, strictly on the merit of the astounding special effects.

I had "No Country" at #5.

#1 There Will Be Blood; #2 The Wrestler; #3 The Pianist; #4 Children of Men.

Outstanding job, Thief!

The films I voted for that didn't make it:


21. Apocalypto
Incredible filmmaking, so much detail; the costumes, bodypaint, wardrobe even tooth implants. Watching this felt like a time traveling archeology mission to a lost civilization.


17. The Others


16. Road to Perdition


14. Malena

Final stats, seen: 80/100 ballot: 20/25.


This was a fun countdown, well organized and consistently presented.
Great job Thief, yoda, Holden and raul!

I think Avatar is good. I do have an itch to see it again.

I also remember liking The Butterfly Effect well enough.

We don’t have them here, but I go to them when I go “home” to Buffalo. Seems like it changed in a weird way at some point. I used to think they had good doughnuts, now I feel like they are a Panera Bread. Pretty good coffee though.

I'm not a big coffee person, in general, so I can take or leave that. And, when it comes to their hot drinks, I think their London fog is better than Starbuck's (and cheaper!)


My gripe is more to do with absolutely everything else on their menu. Those sandwiches. That chili. Those donuts. It's like catering truck food.


It's the Avatar of Canadian food franchises. Except for the fact people are still lining up for it. Never underestimate the power of branding.

Did you suggest dining at the trash can instead? I think they would have found that a suitable alternative.

The real tragedy here is the lack of Monica Belluci, especially her vulnerable performance in Malena.

Her beauty is on part with Catherine Deneuve, Jeanne Moreau and Isabelle Adjani.

Sad day, indeed.
Come here Monica. I’ll comfort you

I almost voted for Shoot Em Up.

I'm sure the 4 upcoming sequels will rekindle our collective interest in it
