@Blankments @WrathOfHan @AniNate @MrPink @Ezen Baklattan @Ethan Hunt @Jayhawk the Hutt Cant wait to discuss Barbie together with all of you in a few hours. Crazy it’s about to start soon

Wow guys. I had the weirdest dream last night. I had a dream that Swordfish was in the top 100 at 79. Which is crazy. Because it’s definitely not 79 on the list. But good thing I wouldn’t do something like that.

Okay.

#79 Swordfish 512 points, 10 lists "Don't confuse kindness with weakness." Box Office: 147.1M Rotten Tomatoes: 25% Metacritic:

I'll legit be dead. Heart racing so fast it'll break out of my chest lol

Y'all, I don't think I can handle this on the big screen tomorrow. @MrPink you might have to hold my hand.

Don't know if I can handle this opening to 100M. Might just break down crying :')

#80 South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut 505 points, 15 lists "Remember what the MPAA says; Horrific, Deplorable violence is okay, as long as people don't say any naughty woids!" Box Office: 83.1M Rotten Tomatoes: 80% Metacritic: 73 Awards: 1 Academy Award nomination, 3 Annie Award nominations, 1 MTV Movie Award. Roger Ebert's Review: "A lot of the movie offended me. Some of it amazed me. It is too long and runs out of steam, but it serves as a signpost for our troubled times. Just for the information it contains about the way we live now, thoughtful and concerned people should see it. After all, everyone else will." Its Legacy: Part of the long-lasting animated series. The highest-grossing R-rated animated movie until Sausage Party in 2016. Features the most swearing ever in an animated movie. Parker and Stone were given a picture of Saddam Hussein by US soldiers in 2006 because of this movie. Led to Trey and Matt dressing in drag while on LSD at the Academy Awards. Considered one of the greatest animated movies of all time. Gave George Clooney a paycheck. Commentary: What exactly can you say about South Park? It’s been on for so long, with so many specials, video games, merchandise, and tons of rip-offs and copycats, that we kind of take this show for granted now. Some of us still watch it, and once in a while it gets itself into controversy, but we kind of take for granted just how groundbreaking it was. How distinct it was from everything else on television, how many boundaries it pushed, how vulgar and crass it can truly be. And two years into this iconic show’s run, we had, in many ways, the peak of South Park as a franchise. Bigger, Longer and Uncut was unbound by the limitations of television censorship. And while it didn’t have the biggest budget, it certainly had enough where Trey Parker and Matt Stone could do whatever they wanted. And what came of it was, simply put, a masterpiece of trash. Trashsterpiece? It’s a film that mocked itself and the backlash it received. It made fun of all the moral panic nonsense conservative parents had against the original series, it spoofed the Disney musicals into the most disgusting iteration it could possibly be, and was more than happy to show that Satan and Saddam Hussein were in fact a gay couple. That’s not something you see in every movie. Alongside a slew of celebrity cameos and bombastic animation set pieces, this was the ultimate South Park package, and is arguably one of the main reasons the show has lasted as long as it has. And while there have been countless specials and 3-parters, there has never been anything like Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. And while rumors of a sequel or new theatrical movie have been around for ages, I think it’s for the best we all have this one singular movie to enjoy and laugh at. One that, frankly, is still relevant and hilarious, despite being in a genre that, frankly, doesn’t always age the best.

#81 Mildred Pierce 502 points, 9 lists "Personally, Veda's convinced me that alligators have the right idea. They eat their young." Box Office: 5.6M Rotten Tomatoes: 87% Metacritic: 88 Awards: 1 Academy Award and 5 nominations, 1 National Board of Review Award, 1 New York Film Critics Circle Awards nomination Roger Ebert's Review: N/A Its Legacy: Joan Crawford's most iconic, Oscar-winning performance. Crawford's first starring role for WB, but far from the last. A crucial part of the 1981 Crawford "biopic" Mommie Dearest and featured on the FX series Feud. Parodied on The Carol Burnett Show. Part of the Criterion Collection. Remade into an HBO miniseries starring Kate Winslet. Joined the National Film Registry in 1996. Gave Eve Arden a paycheck. Commentary: Moms deserve better. They do so much for us without ever getting paid. They have so many responsibilities, but never get any proper credit. They are the most important people in the world, yet still get treated like second class citizens. Mildred Pierce, from Casablanca director Michael Curtiz, is one of the strongest and toughest cinematic mothers in history. A mother who is left behind by her first husband, is raising a teenage daughter who hates her guts, despite Mildred doing everything to make her daughter happy and popular, and is stuck in another loveless marriage just to find some sort of social status to be liked by her daughter and the world. It’s emotionally devastating, and it’s all thanks to Curtiz’s subtle direction and the incredible performance of the one and only Joan Crawford, as well as a strong screenplay by Ranald MacDougall that frames everything into a noir backdrop and makes sure every character is still given nuance and dimension. And above all else, despite the tragedy, Mildred Pierce is still a remarkable woman, doing everything she can to support her daughters. Even if, in the end, that love leads to terrible repercussions down the road. It’s a very complex, yet very emotionally powerful feature. One that has become Joan Crawford’s greatest, most defining performance, and shows that feminist features and strong-written women have always been an integral part of cinema. And with a recent release in 4K UHD by Criterion, Mildred Pierce will continue to be celebrated long after we are gone. Like any great mom would.

#82 Badlands 501 points, 9 lists "At this moment, I didn't feel shame or fear, but just kind of blah, like when you're sitting there and all the water's run out of the bathtub." Box Office: N/A Rotten Tomatoes: 97% Metacritic: 93 Awards: 1 BAFTA Award nomination, Roger Ebert's Review: "Terrence Malick, born 1943, is a legendary figure in American film, often described as reclusive. In fact, he is simply private, absorbed in his own work, happy with a circle of friends, and declining to join in even token efforts at publicity. I am unaware of a single interview he has given; the many second-hand reports from those who know him paint a cheerful man, friendly, obsessed with details, enraptured by nature. There is a hint of Kubrick...In five movies in four decades, he has, in his own way, fashioned one of the most distinctive bodies of work of his time. Very much in his own way." Its Legacy: The closing film of the 1973 New York Film Festival. The breakout film of Sissy Spacek and influenced her understanding of filmmaking. Martin Sheen's favorite script he ever read. The debut film of arthouse icon Terrence Malick. Joined the National Film Registry in 1993. Gave Warren Oates a paycheck. Commentary: Terrence Malick. You either love this man’s films for their moody atmosphere and contemplative storytelling, or hate their spiritualism and lack of compelling narrative. Regardless of your own opinions, his directorial debut really seemed to leave an impression on tons of BOT users. And it’s easy to understand why. It’s largely considered one of his more accessible features, being a Bonnie and Clyde-style story about two lovers who go off on a killing spree. But despite the easy to follow narrative, many of Malick’s hallmarks are seen right out of the gate. Lush imagery, transcendent themes, powerful performances, and a screenplay that is mesmerizing and unlike anything else. The film was given positive reviews on its initial release. And like any great film, it’s aged like fine wine and is celebrated for beginning the career of an all-time film director and being the breakout for the icon that is Sissy Spacek. And with a spot in the National Film Registry and the cast still raving about how much they adore the movie they were a part of, this is going to be a classic beloved for generations to come. Especially with Malick continuing to be a strong force in the arthouse industry.

It stars somebody with XX chormosomes. If it has a woman, it automatically makes it woke to conservative fuckwads.

This strike is making things unhinged lmao

Every generation is too broad, with their own weird, unique expereinces that set people apart even 2 or 3 years apart. This is why lumping a bunch of people into one group like this has never sat right with me. Especially when people go into some diatribe about how "This generation sux because blah blah blah"

I loved that she wrapped his dad's Christmas presents in Marvel wrapping paper a few years ago. You know this family has a good sense of humor with one another

Genuinely depressing that if Oppenheimer didn't have any memes attached to it, Gen Z wouldn't care and this would have been lucky to match Dunkirk's opening. It's not like these kinds of movies can rely on release date memes all the time.

If you're still waiting for your Barbie/Oppy show to start, might I recommend a critical analysis of Aqua's iconic bop?

You should have placed it at 76 lol

Yes. And thank goodness for that lol
