  1. I bet 2 people 50 points Cap 2 is over 250m domestic 50 points Cap 2 is the highest grossing Domestic movie of the spring. 50 points Noah winds up within 10% of Robin Hood's domestic total
  2. I have no words for Universal is doing here http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/confidential/fast-furious-7-double-time-walker-article-1.1728704
  3. Incredibles 2, Finding Nemo doesn't need a sequel (and I absolutely love it) And I hate Cars
  4. 66 (500) Days of Summer One of the most realistic and modern takes at relationships that has been taken to screen. I am probably one of the few people who would even put this movie in their top 250 (let alone this high), but I connect with it and making a connection to a movie is something greater than a performance (Which are all great and engaging), the script (which this is witty, off-beat, and fantastically written), or visual shots (which stylistically I loved).
  5. 67 Beauty and the Beast By now you were probably wondering where the constant barrage of disney movies had gone on my list, well it's back, and Beauty and the Beast is one of the best Disney classics. Beauty and the Beast plays a classic story, and engages the audience to be enjoyable for all ages with fantastic animation, strong vocal performances, and one of the best animated stories.
  6. 68 Forrest Gump ​It is one of the many undeserving best picture winners, but in this case this speaks highly of the movies it was competing against than the movie itself. Forrest Gump is a funny, clever, yet also sad and personal epic of a lowly man's sprawling life through American history. It is quotable, and in the end a very human movie.
  7. 69 City of God Another one of the few foreign language films on my list, and unlike movies that have an illusion of social importance (12YAS), City of God is socially important because it deals with the situation of the present. The film opens your eyes to horrors in the world that go on now, and it is absolutely unforgettable.
  8. 70 The Social Network I may not be a full fan of where Zuckerberg has gone with Facebook, but that doesn't make The Social Network and absolutely evisceratingly powerful (I know, I misused the word eviscerate here, but I felt like using it) and it is the best (by a long shot) of David Fincher's movies, and it made me go from a passive admirer to an all out fan.
  9. 71 Cabaret https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkRIbUT6u7Q I've said this for a couple musicals, but one of the best musicals of all time, but for Cabaret it's a bit less for the music and much more for the entertainment and story. Cabaret was one of the first movie musicals to escape from the classic style and transition into a more serious and mature style, a truly groundbreaking movie.
  10. I actually believe that it's 9 Star Wars (No explanation needed) The Lord of the Rings (all three way above 400m adjusted, except the 4th one that isn't a jones movie) Pirates of the Caribbean (1 and 2 are both above the hunger games adjusted) Batman (TDKR, TDK, and Batman) Indiana Jones (All adjust over 400m) Spider-Man (both 1 and 2 adjust over 500m, 3rd over 400m) Jurassic Park (1 and 2 both adjust above the Hunger Games) James Bond (Goldfinger, Thunderball both adjust over 500m) Harry Potter (1 and the last one) I may be wrong about Potter though, but either way it's an impressive group to join. What'll be interesting is to see how both the Mockingjays do, if one of them goes over 50m tickets than it joins Star Wars Batman Indiana Jones The Lord of the Rings Spider-Man If both get over 50m tickets than it will exclusively join Star Wars (which has a record of 6) I'm guessing around 400m (no 3D) is about 50m tickets, if both get over 400m it'll be the only franchise with 4 movies over 400m, and one of only two franchises with 4+ 400m adjusted movies.
  11. 72 Annie Hall Woody Allen may not be the best person in real life, but he is definitely a very consistent filmmaker, and Annie Hall stands at the top of his massive repertoire of films. It manages to be one of his funnier movies, while also being able to capture some great drama within the comedy, and like all Allen movies, it has some great performances.
  12. 73 Goldfinger ​Easily, Goldfinger is the height of the James Bond franchise (and it is nearly unanimously agreed upon) in every single aspect. The opening song of Goldfinger is the best of the franchise, it is the most quotable, and the most entertaining of them all. Sean Connery and Guy Hamilton deliver the masterpiece of the Bond franchise.
  13. 74 Pan's Labyrinth Correctly coined, Alice in Wonderland for adults, and it really is Guillermo Del Torro's masterpiece (I did forget to mention the Devil's Backbone, but it's to late now, i'd probably replace Hellboy with it) and a great exploration of a little girls nightmarish mind from the effects of the Spanish Civil War. Pan's Labyrinth is a powerful, and thrilling movie.
  14. 75 Mean Streets Scorsese's first feature film and the first that Robert De Niro (okay there was one called Hi, Mom, but I prefer not to count it), and it is a bold opening statement by the two of them by creating a movie that is still one of their best. It is realistic, resounding, and a movie that spawned generations of fantastic Scorsese pieces.
  15. 76 Silence of the Lambs There's only ever been one best picture winner in Oscar history to open their movie in February (as far as I know), and Silence of the Lambs is the movie that pulled such a feat. That alone (combined with the fact it's a horror-esque movie that won Best Picture) serves as a testament of how truly great this movie actually is.
  16. 1.The Grand Budapest Hotel 2.Boyhood 3.Captain America: The Winter Soldier 4.Godzilla 5.Guardians of the Galaxy 6.Bad Words 7.The Fault in Our Stars 8.Transcendence 9.Noah 10.Gone Girl
  17. 78 Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) Sci-Fi is one of my favorite genres because it looks ahead to future, and what I love most in Sci-Fi is when it's more than just a fun tale, but something that examines the world now and how things could shape based on the events and actions we take now. Invasion of the Body Snatchers encompasses that and leaves you shaken by what you see.
  18. 79 Life of Pi I'll admit, I may be a bit biased with one just because of how much I loved the book (when I read it a while back it literally helped change my way of thinking when I was trying to answer a lot of questions about similar subjects to myself), while obviously it isn't a perfect film, it moved me emotionally (despite leaving out some of the philosophy), and swept me away with the jaw-dropping visuals.
  19. 80 Shanghai Express https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEpHOnoE3bY I think this is one of the oldies that is often overlooked for how great it actually is. It boasts some great visual scenes, especially for the early year it was released in, and entertains throughout. Shanghai Express is able to keep your attention, and boasts great directorial style from Sternberg.
  20. 81 Star Trek (2009) Yes, call blasphemy right now, I put the Star Trek (2009) reboot above Wrath of Khan, and I feel no shame for it. Star Trek (2009) takes much of what I love about Star Trek and combines it with an updated tone with higher stakes, and an extremely clever storyline to not make the reboot sham the old series. Star Wars is in great hands with JJ Abrams.
