#86 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 481 points, 9 lists "Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy." Box Office: 896.8M Rotten Tomatoes: 88% Metacritic: 81 Awards: 1 Academy Award nomination, 1 BAFTA Award, 1 Kids Choice Award, 1 Teen Choice Award Roger Ebert's Review: "With this fourth film, the Harry Potter saga demonstrates more than ever the resiliency of J.K. Rowling's original invention. Her novels have created a world that can expand indefinitely and produce new characters without limit. That there are schools like Hogwarts in other countries comes as news and offers many possibilities; the only barrier to the series lasting forever is Harry's inexorably advancing age. The thought of him returning to Hogwarts for old boys' day is too depressing to contemplate." Its Legacy: Gave us Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort. Kickstarted the career of Robert Pattinson. Led to a Wyrd Sisters lawsuit. The second film in the series to be released in IMAX. The first Potter film to win a BAFTA. The only Potter film to win the Kids Choice Award for Favorite Movie. Gave Gary Oldman a paycheck. Commentary: Considered one of the best Potter movies based on one of the best Potter books (well I actually don’t know if it’s considered that. I just think those things), this fourth entry really had it all. Thanks to the Triwizard Games plot, we have a movie with tons of iconic setpieces and thrilling sequences abound, while also featuring the cast developing as teenagers. Their older age not only allows Radcliffe and co. a chance to show their improve acting crafts, but also means they get to grow up, deal with new challenges, and make the Steve Kloves script just a tad more richer and developed. To say nothing of the new cast members. There’s Brendan Gleeson as the delightfully crazed Mad-Eye Moody, Miranda Richardson as the snoopy reporter for The Daily Prophet, and even baby Robert Pattinson, long before he became a teen heartthrob, arthouse darling, and every auteur’s favorite dude. Oh, and we finally see Voldemort, at least the noseless version, performed by the one and only Ralph Fiennes. It’s one of the most important films in Potter history and is a huge fan-favorite. That’s more than enough for this to reach the top 90. Please donate to SnapCo. Trans rights are human rights. https://www.snap4freedom.org/about- 393 replies

#87 Arsenic and Old Lace 480 points, 8 lists "And I'm not a cab driver, I'm a coffee pot!" Box Office: 4.8M Rotten Tomatoes: 85% Metacritic: N/A Awards: N/A Roger Ebert's Review: N/A Its Legacy: Definitive version of the classic stage play. Cary Grant's most divisive performance. One of only two films Frank Capra did for Warner Bros. Ranked #30 on AFI's Top 100 Laughs. Part of the Criterion Collection. Gave Priscilla Lane a paycheck. Commentary: A masterclass of dark comedy, this Frank Capra classic is the perfect blend of morbid and hilarious, with a farcical premise that is reminiscent of Capra screwballs, notably You Can’t Take It With You, but avoiding any heavy-handed messages and social consciousness. And frankly, it’s all for the better. Not only is Cary Grant delivering great work, with tons of overacting and mugging that is hilarious to watch, you have the two murder-loving aunts, Josephine Hull and Jean Adair, who bring a more down-to-earth portrayal despite their villainous acts. With Grant being the goofy straight man surrounded by sickos who play things straight, there’s your comedy right there. The movie seamlessly handles multiple tones and jarring shifts, allowing for a macabre, yet still engaging and hilarious comedy caper that is an underrated, yet beloved piece of Frank Capra canon.
