162 The Ladykillers (1955) What's weird is what was one of the Coen Bros worst movies, the original is one of my favorites. It's a hilarious dark comedy with great slapstick and (although at times foolish) a superb plot about how an old women drives the intelligent crooks mad. (Kind of resembles real life except the intelligent crooks resembling everybody who deals with the old women) -
163 Seven Samurai With how much depth there is in Samurai history I am surprised that there are so few good Samurai movies, however Seven Samurai is one of them. Seven Samurai is a bloody, fun action film with great complexity and depth to back up the thrilling fights.
-
164 Pinocchio This is weirdly the darkest of all of Disney's movies (all the boys turning into jackasses (that's how they are referred to in the movie) after going to pleasure island drinking and smoking) with one of the most classic Disney songs in it. It's a heartwarming story, and one of the most intelligent of the classic Disney flicks.

165 A History of Violence A very underrated and unappreciated film that never got as much recognition as it deserved. It is thrilling, dark and trimly cut, with great (well done) restraint in the action, while also boasting a highly intelligent and subliminal script that makes it a movie worthy to keep viewing.
-
166 The Killing Fields http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFQY1H7TVV8 One of the most humane, and powerful films out there. While it is definitely hard to re-watch it, The Killing Fields is a heartbreaking epic, filled with honest performances, and a politically motivated message that is very hard to forget.
-
167 True Grit (2010) Another fantastic effort from the Coen Bros who are some of the best modern filmmakers out there. True Grit is an awesome western combined with some incredibly powerful performances, including God's gift of Hailee Steinfield who pulls off one of the best performances given by a child actor out there.
-
168 The Goonies A classic and fun adventure movie that is fond in nearly every kids memories. Steven Spielberg again proves he is an excellent, crowd-pleasing director, as well as being a fantastic breakout movie for a lot of the soon-to be stars.
-
169 Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl By far the best of the series, Curse of the Black Pearl was not only incredibly original, but an incredible mix of swashbuckling action, an epic storyline, and a strong comedic lead performance by Johnny Depp. The biggest negative of this film though is once Johhny Depp went Jack he literally never went back (and by that I mean he tries to play Jack Sparrow in nearly every post-Pirates movie he starred in)
-
170 Breakfast at Tiffany's A classic romance story by the great Truman Capote, this is (in my opinion) the best adaption of any of Capotes novels (although In Cold Blood is his best novel, in my opinion with Breakfast at Tiffany's in a close second). Breakfast at Tiffany's is funny, with many scenes that absolutely punch at your heartstrings.

300 Rise of An Empire (2014)
The Panda replied to baumer's topic in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)
When I turned my brain off it got enjoyable, problem is I shouldn't have to turn my brain off. Eva Green was good though. C- -

True, but compared to what most of us expected, it is huge. We'll probably end up with another sequel. (gag) -
You're going to need to go even higher for me to take one of those

Sayings like, "You don't make movies so you have no room to judge" irritate me so bad. This is a forum where you share opinions about movies, which may mean you absolutely hate some directors. I am pretty sure a lot of people here are actually doers, they just might not make massive visual orgies about talking robots. -
171 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Alfonso Cuaron stepping up to the directing plate is very evident with this Potter film, which is the best of the bunch. It is able to create a darker, more exciting tone while also keeping the magic of the first two, as well as putting in the most of heart of the Potter films.
-
172 Some Like It Hot A classic with a great sense of humor, boasted by Marilyn Monroe's best performance. Some Like It Hot has created its own legacy from its sophisticated brilliance, while maintaining a high, yet tamed, energy driving the entire film.
-
173 The Last Temptation of Christ Many people have found this film offensive for what it does, but ironically it brings the most relateable Jesus brought to screen. The story is brilliant, the acting is on a high level, and Scorsese creates an earnest and sincere film that still provokes much controversy today.
-
174 Adaptation While I may not be the biggest Being John Malcovich fan, I will say Adaptation is an incredibly well-made and well-written movie with powerful performances. This movie also marks the last good leading performance Nic Cage would ever give (and second to last performance, he was a good support in Kick-Ass) before he descended into whatever he is today.
-
I'll take the second one.

Same, but I prefer the actual concept. I am willing to place a bet right now that the Sausage character is going resemble a penis, or at least as close to a penis as they can get before it becomes NC-17.

300 is a hit, there goes a buttload of my points.

I don't know, but I am pumped for an animated film targeted at adults.
