Its not an easy task trying to compare Comedy to Bio-pic to thriller to drama to Documentary in terms of Ranking. On another day, many of the films listed in the 100-20 slots, could just as easily be higher/lower.

ok Carrying on.

79. Shooter (2007)

78.The Incredibles (2004)

77. Heaven Can Wait (1978)

76. Swingers(1996)
