Number 69 The Sound of Music (1965) 20th Century Fox, Directed by Robert Wise (53 Points, 11 Votes) "Only grown-up men are scared of women." Number 1 Placements: 1 Top 10 Placements: 2 Top 25 Placements: 6 Previous Rankings: 2016 (Unranked), 2014 (Unranked), 2013 (Unranked), 2012 (Unranked) Awards Count: Won 5 Oscars, including Best Picture Tomatometer: 86% (8.0 Avg Rating) Box Office: 158.7m (1.3B DOM, or More than Star Wars, Infinity War, Avatar and Titanic) Synopsis: A woman leaves an Austrian convent to become a governess to the children of a Naval officer widower. Critic Opinion: "Robert Wise has transformed the delightful Rodgers and Hammerstein musical stage production of "The Sound of Music" into a magical film in which Julie Andrews gives an endearing performance in the role of Maria, the governess. Caretaker to the young seems to be Julie's metier, as she has been nominated for an Academy Award for her performance last year in Disney's production of "Mary Poppins," P.L. Travers' enchanting nanny. "The Sound of Music," which Wise produced and directed for 20th Century-Fox, had its initial New York showing at the Rivoli Theatre last night. Filmed in Todd-AO and Deluxe color, it opens on a breath-taking panoramic view of the mountains surrounding the beautiful and ancient city of Salzburg, where the picture was shot in its entirety. It then pans to a shot of Maria singing a panegyric to her beloved mountains." - Kate Cameron User Opinion: "Funnily enough, The Sound of Music only came to be due to a German movie about the story. It was a giant success, with an estimated 27m admisions in Germany, equal to the modern day record of Jungle Book, though back then the movie-going numbers were quite different so the comparison doesn't quite work. It also did decently in France (2.85m admissions) and was also released in the US. As was the sequel, which wasn't anywhere near as successful but still did quite well. That's when some americans bought the rights to turn the story into a broadway-play and later a movie. The movie ended up as no.1 alltime in the US, UK and 28 other countries, but saw less admissions than the German original in France (2.2m compared to 2.85m) and was a colossal flop in Germany itself, even though that's where the original came from. It only saw an estimated 80k admissions and made less money for the studio than the costs for the copies were." - @George Parr Commentary: I couldn't find any actual user opinions on The Sound of Music, so I guess I'll have to be the one to rave about it here. The Sound of Music is a grand musical spectacle with some of the most memorable music ever put to screen. Julie Andrews is absolutely phenomenal as the title character for the show, and I really feel like the opening scene truly encapsulates how wonderful she was as Maria. The movie is gorgeous to watch, there's so many fun numbers throughout, and then the end hits you with some real emotional punch. It's no wonder this managed to be the highest grossing movie of all time for a period of time, and that its adjusted gross is so high. The film received quite a bit of passion votes from out users as it averaged a score of 4.8 from each user who voted for it, and it was on 18% of the lists submitted.

Number 70 Memento (2000) Newmarket Films, Directed by Christopher Nolan (52 Points, 21 Votes) "If we can't make memories, we can't heal." Top 25 Placements: 3 Previous Rankings: 2016 (75, +5), 2014 (32, -38), 2013 (51, -19), 2012 (25, -45) Awards Count: Nominated for 2 Oscars Tomatometer: 92% (8.2 Avg Rating) Box Office: 25.5m (41.3m Adjusted) Synopsis: A man juggles searching for his wife's murderer and keeping his short-term memory loss from being an obstacle. Critic Opinion: "In Christopher Nolan’s dizzy and hypnotic thriller, Leonard (Guy Pearce), a man who has lost his short-term memory, is locked in a mission of blind vengeance. He lives in a perpetual present tense, his mind rewinding, over and over, in an endless loop, a movement reflected in the obsessive architecture of the film itself, which is literally structured backward. As Leonard tracks his investigation employing a series of Polaroid photographs and body tattoos, he’s like a man trying to wrap his mind around the question mark of his own identity. Memento has a spooky repetitive urgency that takes on the clarity of a dream; it’s like an Oliver Sacks case study played as malevolent film noir. Pearce, frantic and disheveled, lends even the smallest events the aura of a life-or-death search, a quest for meaning." - Owen Gleiberman User Opinion: "Wow this was really great and 'different'. The non-linear narrative was used so so so well, it blew my mind. The whole effect, then cause thing worked so well. And the twist at the end was great, it completely changed all we believed throughout, whats the truth whats the lie, who's right and who lying. The sammy jenkis thing added a layer. It totally reminded me of shutter island (after the truth about it was revealed of course). So many things worked so well due to the non-linear structure. Like throughout, again and again, we were shown 'don't believe teddy's lies' and then the ending/start turned it upside down. Natalie was definitely the good girl, and in fact she was in a way, but then we see how she used him. And many other things like that. The acting was good. The story was great. The writing and direction were masterpiece level and so complementary in their goodness." - @Infernus "Nolan's best work and it isn't really close. I doubt he will ever manage to create anything more masterful than Memento. Just an extraordinary movie that you will remember for a long time. The structure of the movie is phenomenal." - @FantasticBeasts Commentary: Despite the speculation otherwise, due to MrPink's absent list, Christopher Nolan is still going strong on this list, as Memento picks up and does slightly better than it did two years ago. Memento has all of the elements of what you'd expect a Nolan to have, the dead wife/girlfriend, the exposition, the high concept, and it manages to take these elements and blend them to be stronger than many of his other movies. Memento was the film that really put Nolan on the map, and the film that likely got him the job to direct Batman Begins and then the all-to-famous The Dark Knight. Memento made it onto the list mostly through quantity of votes, as it averaged a 2.4 per voter, but managed to be on 34% of the lists that were submitted (the most of any movie so far).

Number 71 Get Out (2017) Universal Pictures, Directed by Jordan Peele (52 Points, 17 Votes) "If I could, I would have voted for Obama for a third term." Top 10 Placements: 1 Top 25 Placements: 5 Previous Rankings: NEW Awards Count: Won 1 Oscar, Nominated for Best Picture Tomatometer: 99% (8.3 Avg Rating) Critic Opinion: "Mr. Peele is best known for his work with Keegan-Michael Key on their titular comedy sketch show, where politics mixed freely with the laughs. Together they starred in the 2016 comedy “Keanu,” a lampoon of action cinema that was a (slack) piece with the movie love that was a mainstay of their show. In one memorable bit from the show, heckling cinephiles voice their complaints (“this movie has an inconsistent visual language!”); in another, two friends realize that the reason the zombie hordes aren’t attacking them is they’re flesh-eating racists. “Get Out” expands on, and considerably deepens, a similar idea by turning white racism into disquieting genre shivers." - Manohla Dargis User Opinion: "Masterful blend of satire and horror. Not sure what else to say, because the satire of race relations is so insightful." - @cannastop "It's brilliant how after reflecting about the movie all the details you experienced on surface level work on a whole upper level of social commentary about racial politics, you realize how Jordan Peele really thought out and framed the narrative to make sense on a subtext level. The "twist" shines a truly unsettling and horrifying light on all the main protagonist's interactions (played by fresh faced newcomer Daniel Kaluuya). The movie felt like the embodiment of that troubling angst black people consciously or unconsciously experience while navigating their environment in a black skin inside the western world in which your appearance can ankwardly taint, impact and dictate your interactions (and ultimately your whole life) at a minute notice. But the devastating truth is that insidious ankwardness is a thinly veiled sneaky paradigm actually rooted in hard boiled prejudice that can trigger its ugly head exploding back into your face. (As a black guy born and bred in Europe, I can certainly relate to that experience)." - @dashrendar44 Commentary: The third movie on our list to come out of 2017, however this is one that I definitely believe will remain to be seen as a classic by cinephiles for years to come. It is just weird enough to be unique, yet just normal enough to appeal to a mass audience. Get Out offers poignant social commentary, along with an involved story that keeps you on the edge of your seat and awkwardly laughing at some of the films more disturbing moments. Get Out manages to take racism, and make it a horror villain.

Number 72 Fargo (1996) MGM, Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen (52 Points, 16 Votes) "You're darn tootin'!"

Critic Opinion: "Our Flick of the Week is "Fargo," the first great American movie of the year. It's another daring black comedy by one of the most consistently inventive moviemaking teams of the last decade, brothers Joel and Ethan Coen. The fans of their best work -- "Blood Simple, "Raising Arizona," "Barton Fink" -- now can add "Fargo" to the list, pushing the Coens to the first rank of contemporary American filmmakers." - Gene Siskel User Opinion: "undoubtedly a coen masterpiece. - @luna "I'm a big fan of the second season of the show, so I decided to finally check out Fargo, one of the Coen Brothers most famous films. It was definitely worth seeing. It's underwhelming at points, until you realize just what you saw happen in a mere hour and a half. It's packed with plot, humor, and perfect performances. McDormand, Buscemi, Stormare, and Macy - all incredible. I need to see more Coen Brothers films, but in this, the direction is pitch perfect and the script is fun with a lot of great moments. Roger Deakins always delivers a beautiful film, although this is pretty unassuming with the exception of a few establishing shots, but it works. Carter Burwel's score is also pretty lovely, quiet at appropriate moments. Fargo is a very pleasant film that's hard to put into one genre, which is always a surefire way to make it memorable." - @Blankments Commentary: The Coen Brothers are the next big name directors to make their first appearance on our list, and it's for one of their more renowned and popular works. Fargo is a neat blend of black comedy, crime and thrills that manages to keep audiences engaged in the ingeniously written spectacle. Fargo is also a character piece, more than anything, giving careful time and consideration into the each persona that is shown on screen. The film was on 26% of the lists that were submitted and averaged a score of 3.25 from each user who placed it on their list.

Number 73 Psycho (1960) Paramount Pictures, Directed by Alfred Hitchcock (52 Points, 15 Votes) "We all go a little mad sometimes."

Critic Opinion: "What was that about madness? Alfred Hitchcock, the jovial purveyor of this influential, still-masterful shocker, implies that we don't know jack about it. A nosy private eye (Martin Balsam) and Marion's overly stubborn sister (Miles) wander around as if on preordained paths, seeking shouting-headline explanations (money! multiple personalities!) to ultimately inexplicable occurrences. The best that can be said is there are bats in the belfry and a well-preserved corpse in the basement. What else can one do but scream?" - Keith Uhlich User Opinion: "The grand daddy of em all!I love horror films. I have reviewed all the Fridays, all the Jaws', most of the Halloweens and a few of the Nightmares. Halloween and Jaws are, to me, the two best horror films ever made. And even though I don't think Psycho is on par with some of the best horror films ever to grace our screens, you have to give credit where creidt is due. Psycho is a pioneer for horror films and it is because of Psycho that we have films like Halloween and Friday the 13th and Texas Chainsaw Massacre and directors like Hooper and Carpenter and Craven. I was born 12 years after Psycho was made and I really didn't get into film until at least another 10 years after that, but I can tell you that Psycho must have shocked and revolutionized film. Could you imagine a film maker so bold as to tell theater owners that they are not to permit anyone into the theater after it starts? Can you imagine a film so bold as to kill the main character half way through the film? Can you imagine a film so bold as to kill someone so graphically in the shower? Sure you can imagine all that. It's 2012. This film is more than 50 years old. But imagine what it did to audiences in 1960. It must have shocked the hell out of everyone back then. Psycho is a film like no other. There have been films that have done it better than Psycho but none of them can say they were the first. Psycho is a great film and it is enjoyable, unlike many older films pre 1970 that in my opinion get unfairly praised.If you want to know how horror has revolutionized and evolved to the way it is today, you can look no further than Alfred Hitchcock's brilliant masterpiece, PSYCHO." - @baumer "If you want to know how to build up your film to the very climax and make it worth, this is the film that you learn from. Everything in the film before they found out Norman Bates' secret was to built up the suspense and it was done beautifully. One of my fav of all time." - @vc2002 Commentary: Alfred Hitchcock finally makes his first appearance on this list with his horror classic, Psycho. Psycho is a slow-building classic that managed to set the standard for nearly every other horror film to come. Hitchcock knew how to slowly wind up the tension and then shockingly give a release point that would have left audiences screaming when they first saw the film. Hitchcock was a bold visionary who knew how to craft both entertaining and brilliantly paced films, which is often why he is regarded as one of the greatest directors of all-time.

Number 74 Inglourious Basterds (2009) The Weinstein Company, Directed by Quentin Tarantino (52 Points, 15 Votes) "You probably heard we ain't in the prisoner-takin' business; we in the killin' Nazi business.

Critic Opinion: "A Tarantino film resists categorization. “Inglourious Basterds” is no more about war than “Pulp Fiction” is about — what the hell is it about? Of course nothing in the movie is possible, except that it’s so bloody entertaining. His actors don’t chew the scenery, but they lick it. He’s a master at bringing performances as far as they can go toward iconographic exaggeration. After I saw “Inglourious Basterds” at Cannes, although I was writing a daily blog, I resisted giving an immediate opinion about it. I knew Tarantino had made a considerable film, but I wanted it to settle, and to see it again. I’m glad I did. Like a lot of real movies, you relish it more the next time. Immediately after “Pulp Fiction” played at Cannes, QT asked me what I thought. “It’s either the best film of the year or the worst film,” I said. I hardly knew what the hell had happened to me. The answer was: the best film. Tarantino films have a way of growing on you. It’s not enough to see them once." - Roger Ebert User Opinion: "Oh God, what an astounding film. An incredible script that easily ranks the best of its year, and the powerhouse performances from Waltz and Laurent (who was shamefully snubbed) were an immense delight. Great cinematography, too. One of my favorite films ever." - @Noctis "Loved it. A lot of fun. Brad Pitt is hysterical in it. Christoph Waltz made a great villain. And of course that great Tarantino dialogue." - @DAR Commentary: Tarantino makes his debut on the list with his take on World War 2 that managed to shock audiences, while also just being tame enough to be accessible to the masses. Inglourious Basterds manages to blend a variety of genres in order to make a unique Tarantino style film that's unlike any of the many other films released that were about this period in time. On average, Inglourious Basterds managed to score 4 points for each user who voted for it and it was featured on 21% of the lists that were submitted.

Critic Opinion: "If there's one thing Michael Mann knows how to do, it's create tension. He's a master of texture and atmosphere, and in "Heat," the volatile though confounding story of a Los Angeles detective's hunt for a master thief, writer-director Mann works as if he were a composer, laying down his super-saturated wide-screen images like a series of menacing, unresolved chords." - Hal Hinson User Opinion: "I've actually seen Heat in theaters back in 1995, but haven't seen the movie since. Watched it just now, still holds up. Everyone is just fantastic in general, plus the movie still showcases one of the best firefights ever in a movie (and loved the soundtrack to that scene as well). Coffee scene between DeNiro and Pacino an absolute classic." - @BoxOfficeZ "Great movie and probably one of the most intense endings ever. The score is simply beautiful in those last 5 minutes." - @darkelf Commentary: Finally breaks the 2010s decade streak is a 90s movie that may not have taken off with critics or the awards circuit back on its release, but has since become a major cult classic that's beloved by quite a few of the members on these forums. This may not be a cyberthriller that was never released in China, but Michael Mann proves himself as a more than capable director with this film. The movie scored an average of 4 points from each member who voted for it, showing that it was right around the 26-35 mark by most of the members who placed it on their lists.

BTW, Yes this means Footloose did not make the list.

5 Years from now people will ask, "Is Footloose still on BOT's list of greatest movies of all time?", and I'll simply respond, "It never was!" Here's the real number 76 Number 76 Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) Marvel Studios, Directed by The Russo Bros (51 Points, 17 Votes) "Air conditioning is fully operational." Number 1 Placements: 1 Top 10 Placements: 2 Top 25 Placements: 4 Previous Rankings: 2016 (96, +20), 2014 (78, +2) Awards Count: Nominated for 1 Oscar Tomatometer: 89% (7.6 Avg Rating) Box Office: 259.8m (285.7m Adjusted) Synopsis: As Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world, he teams up with a fellow Avenger and S.H.I.E.L.D agent, Black Widow, to battle a new threat from history: an assassin known as the Winter Soldier. Critic Opinion: "Captain America: The Winter Soldier continues—indeed, elevates—Marvel’s strong run. It is easily the studio’s most ambitious undertaking short of The Avengers, artfully knitting together Cap’s WWII history and the present-day Marvel-verse, while also serving as robust connective tissue to next year’s Avengers sequel. The performances are good, the script (by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely) is sharp, and the action sequences are nothing short of superb. Those who don’t care for superhero flicks may not be won over. But those with any affinity for the genre are likely to emerge profoundly satisfied." - Christopher Orr User Opinion: "The Russo Brothers, Markus & McFeely, and Kevin Feige created a modern genre masterpiece with their sequel to the fabulous Captain America: The First Avenger. More importantly, they catapulted the Marvel Cinematic Universe into a completely new stratosphere of creativity and quality. TWS proves that modern blockbusters can nuanced, emotional character moments, and brilliantly choreographed action sequences. The shrewdest creative decision in TWS is to have Natasha Romanoff fill the role/trope of the Best Friend/Sidekick and Sam Wilson to fill the role/trope of the Love Interest. By flipping these gendered norms, the movie now explores refreshingly modern takes on friendship and trust. My favorite element of Captain America: The Winter Soldier is that for a superhero action movie, it features a hero whose true power is his goodness, and his ability to inspire others. His big power play in the Third Act is to give a speech, over the PA system. Steve's Price of Freedom Speech is the perfect example of all that's good about Captain America." - @captainwondyful Commentary: So the MCU makes its first appearance on this list with Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I'm probably not the best person to talk about this movie, as it's definitely a film that I've never been able to understand the hype about. Fans of the movie will often proclaim the films balance between drama, intense action sequences and humor, as well as it's ability to take the character a bit more seriously, without delving into a depressing tone. The film appeared on quite a few lists, however most placed it on the lower portion of their lists with the exception of a number 1 vote propelling it from just outside the top 100 to well past the 100 mark.

Critic Opinion: "At the end, when Penn hit the dance floor and joyfully copied Travolta's disco stance, the moment came when I laughed affectionately and said, "Y'know, this isn't actually all that bad."" - Rob Gonslaves User Opinion: "This has got me dancing in the sheets!" - @Ethan Hunt "I hate dancing, and parties, but loved this one!" - @WrathOfHan Commentary: This one definitely shocked me, I had no idea there was such love for Footloose on these forums. In fact, I couldn't even find the review thread so I just made up a few quotes from users I figured would be true. In fact, one user even voted this one as the greatest movie ever made, I guess Kevin Bacon really suaded that user with those moving hips. It almost seemed like this movie was a code for some other movie, as if users were trying to sneak past one of the strict rules of this countdown.

And before you rage about Logan, it's about to get worse (although apparently The Princess Bride, out of all movies, is stirring up the most controversy)

Number 77 Logan (2017) 20th Century Fox, Directed by James Mangold (51 Points, 17 Votes) "Nature made me a freak. Man made me a weapon. And God made it last too long." Top 25 Placements: 3 Previous Rankings: NEW Awards Count: Nominated for 1 Oscar Tomatometer: 93% (7.9 Avg Rating) Box Office: 226.3m (234.2m Adjusted) Synopsis: In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X, somewhere on the Mexican border. However, Logan's attempts to hide from the world, and his legacy, are upended when a young mutant arrives, pursued by dark forces. Critic Opinion: "The importance of “Logan” is heightened by the increasingly frustrating superhero movie landscape. The 21st century has been a geek wish list come true, with franchises for every major superhero, overlapping with each other like a never-ending quilt of awesome. But the more that the stories of Iron Man, Thor, Spider-Man and the others weave together, the less allowance for surprise or deviation. When movies are planned in multitiered phases, the master plan becomes bigger than any one filmmaker or actor. “Logan” is so much better than that. A very dark movie, filled with hope for the future." - Peter Hartlaub User Opinion: "Logan is the perfect conclusion to Jackmans Wolverine. The film wisely takes its time for each charakter and the storyline to set the dramatic tone. There are a lot of quiet moments and dialogue scenes (though very well written) that worked as a contrast to the action scenes which were phenomenal. The camera, cinematography and lighting cant get enough praise." - @Brainbug "We've entered a cinema period where all the main characters in a movie die. " - @DeeCee Commentary: Logan comes in as the second movie from 2017 to make the list, and the first comic book movie to make an appearance. Logan takes the risk of an R-Rated Deadpool up a notch by not just simply making an adult comedy, but making an expensive r-rated drama that could be at risk of alienating some of the younger fans. This is another film that was likely benefited from recency bias as it's release date was rather soon, and it made it onto the list more from quantity of votes rather than it be driven by a few passion votes with some quantity votes backing it (like a few others around this ones ranking). The movie landed on around 29% of the lists.

Also, save your rage about La La Land for the next two movies

Number 78 La La Land (2016) Lionsgate Films, Directed by Damien Chazelle (50 Points, 13 Votes) "People love what other people are passionate about.: Top 5 Placements: 1 Top 25 Placements: 6 Previous Rankings: NEW Awards Count: Won 6 Oscars, Did not win Best Picture Tomatometer: 92% (8.7 Avg Rating) Box Office: 151.1m (156.7m Adjusted) Synopsis: While navigating their careers in Los Angeles, a pianist and an actress fall in love while attempting to reconcile their aspirations for the future. Critic Opinion: "People say the movie musical is dead. Tell that that to your tapping toes while watching the enchantment of La La Land, one of the year’s best films. Writer/director Damien Chazelle plunges us straight into his song-and-dance mindset from the film’s opening frames. On a traffic-clogged freeway in Los Angeles, bright young things exit their cars and begin to strut their stuff to composer Justin Hurwitz’s peppy original tune “Another Day of Sun.” So far, so Broadway — but slow down for a second. Chazelle’s candy-coloured salute to L.A., the movies and chasing your dreams isn’t your standard Tinseltown tuner, where production numbers erupt every five minutes. As he did with Whiplash, his similarly melodious previous picture, Chazelle takes time to count the cost of ambition and to ponder what really qualifies as a Hollywood ending. La La Land delights, like the Gene Kelly and Jacques Demy musicals it tips its hat to, but it’s also grounded in reality." - Peter Howell User Opinion: "I jizzed all over that screen." - @Ethan Hunt "Won tickets to see an advance screening for this tonight after eagerly anticipating it for months on end, and it completely lives up to the hype. Damien Chazelle has expanded on the promise he showed with Whiplash here, and in a way, La La Land feels like a natural follow-up with its themes of ambition. The movie is a marriage of color (the movie is a cinematography lover's wet dream), song, and fantasy that serves as a magical love letter to both Los Angeles and a time when Hollywood made movies they seldom do anymore while also very much creating a new classic of its own. This is very much a two-hander between Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, and both actors are more than up to the challenge and deliver bonafide "movie star" performances that make Sebastian and Mia one of the more endearing movie couples in history. These two have so much chemistry with each other that it should be written into their contracts that they appear together in every movie they sign on for going forward. Gosling, continuing to show off his considerable charisma that has been mostly suppressed by the stoic parts he's taken on for the better part of the last several years, has probably never been better and proves surprisingly capable of carrying a tune. But the heart of La La Land is Stone, who has been a favorite of mine for years now, who gives Mia the vulnerability and likability that makes her easy to root for. The actress has never been more luminescent, and her final number ("Audition") recalls Jennifer Hudson's "And I Am Telling You, I'm Not Going" in Dreamgirls and Anne Hathaway's "I Dreamed a Dream" in Les Miserables in that this could very well be her ticket to an Oscar. This is a total crowdpleaser that will make all of the money, and I will definitely be seeing it at some point again over the holidays." - @filmlover Commentary: Rocketing off to its debut on these lists, La La Land comes in as a pick from the younger crowd here at BOT. While recency bias may have played a bit of a factor, it's safe to say La La Land is a modern classic in the making, as it's fueled with fun, memorable shots and music, and plenty of haters to stir up controversy. The movie manages to blend both a conventional and unconventional style with its music and dance, which garnered some complaints as it's almost more of a deconstruction of a classic musical than an homage to the golden age musical. La La Land was on around 26% of the lists that were submitted.

Number 79 Do the Right Thing (1989) Universal Pictures, Directed by Spike Lee (50 Points, 11 Votes) "Wake up! Wake up! Up you wake!"

Critic Opinion: "``Do The Right Thing`` clearly has been made by someone who enjoys using film to tell more than just a story. This is a sumptuous work, from its unconventional title sequence of a woman dancing hard in the streets to its provocative ending with conflicting quotes from Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. The subject is racism in America, and ``Do the Right Thing`` turns out to be a spiritual documentary that shows racial joy, hatred and confusion at every turn. Taking place during one long, sweltering day and night in Brooklyn, the film is based on incidents of racial violence that have plagued New York City of late. An Italian restaurant owner finds himself in conflict with some of his black clientele. Rude behavior leads to excessive police force, which leads to a riot and to destruction of property. This might sound like a depressing story, but the level of performance and filmmaking is so high that ``Do the Right Thing`` becomes a most entertaining warning." - Gene Siskel User Opinion: "Brilliant, morally complex, and fascinating movie. Can't believe it took me this long to see it. Truly important and great movie." - @Cmasterclay "Really good film. Well directed. A very important film for everyone to see " - @Dexter Commentary: Spike Lee makes it onto the list with his explosive racial commentary, Do the Right Thing. Do the Right Thing manages to blend together both drama and comedy in a way that provokes laughter, rage and social commentary. While Spike Lee intends to do this with most of his films, Do the Right Thing manages to hit this mark in a more direct way than many of his other films. The 11 voters who put this movie on their lists rated it highly, placing it just outside of their top 25 on average, and it was seen on around 18% of the lists submitted.

Number 80 Predator (1987) 20th Century Fox, Directed by John McTiernan (50 Points, 11 Votes) "Get to the chopper!"

Critic Opinion: "Before ascending to action movie royalty status with the titanic Die Hard (1989) director John McTiernan was at the helm at one the 1980s defining sci-fi classics. From the moment Predator begins, McTiernan’s aesthetic choices leap from the screen. Golden sunsets, blue hews of choppers flying low over hostile jungles and the red lit chopper full contrast the rich green blanket of the dense forest. The great gritty aesthetic is paired with ominous tracking through still jungles and evokes the feeling that the most unseen terror is around every corner. It’s also a feat to elicit perfectly pitched performances from the cast with such massive egos (and biceps)." - Blake Howard User Opinion: "One of the most bad ass movies ever . When I watch this movie , I watch the beginning credits scene like ten times, with the fantastic Silvestri soundtrack and all these macho men coming out of the helicopter before Arnie slowly appears . Possibly the most bad ass beginning of a movie along with "once upon the west" . Arnold generally made way better choices when he was in his prime compared to Stallone and he didn't fight communism , almost in every movie , and being trapped in the Reagan era movies despite being a republican." - @Thrylos 7 "One of my favorite movies of all time.." - @The Stingray Commentary: Coming in as the first 80s action flick to make the list, as well as the first Arnie movie to pop up here, is Predator. The movie definitely isn't the most critically acclaimed film to make the list, but it's full of popcorn fun and entertaining one liners. It's a film that perfectly captures that post-Vietnam action movie era, where so many of the major hits were Bicep filled jungle movies, displaying a cultural reckoning during that time period. Predator is another movie that managed to sneak up into the list, despite a low vote total, due to how high people were ranking it, with the average voter placing it right outside of their top 25.
