I came to BOT to chew bubblegum and kick ass.

#61 34.81% Director: Park Chan-wook Written by: Park Chan-wook, Im Joon-hyeong, Hwan Jo-yoon More from Korea, and an addition to the foreign films on the list, comes the thriller Oldboy. RT Consensus: "Violent and definitely not for the squeamish, Park Chan-wook's visceral Oldboy is a strange, powerful tale of revenge." It's about to hit 5am so that's it for tonight, cya tomorrow

#62 34.66% Director: Kathryn Bigelow Written by: Mark Boal We've already had Bigelow's recent Zero Dark Thirty, but her Best Picture-winning The Hurt Locker scores at #62. Depressingly, this - number 62 - is the highest-ranked film directed by a woman. Hollywood is a fucking travesty. RT Consensus: "A well-acted, intensely shot, action filled war epic, Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker is thus far the best of the recent dramatizations of the Iraq War.

A few movies that I've seen recently which don't have threads (or at least aren't listed in the archive) Duel (1971) Reign of Fire (2002) Johnny English (2003) Johnny English Reborn (2011) Iron Sky (2012) Skeletons (2010) Seeking Justice (2011) K-PAX (2001) Casino Jack (2010) Legion (2010) Notting Hill (1999) Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension (2011) The Life of David Gale (2003) The Phantom of the Opera (2004) The Cable Guy (1996) Witness (1985) The Lion King 1½ (2004) Brother Bear 2 (2006) Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) Legally Blonde (2001) Legally Blonde 2 (2003) Yes Man (2008) The Invention of Lying (2009)

People like to talk rubbish of this sequel but imo it is a logical extension of the original, with the same impressive intellect as the first, even if it's missing most of the Verhoeven satire, is a little clichéd, and forces the emotional moments on you too hamfistedly. B

#63 34.4% Director: Martin Campbell Written by: Paul Haggis, Neal Purvis, Robert Wade The 2006 reboot (of sorts) of the Bond franchise makes our list at #63. RT Consensus: "Disposes of the silliness and gadgetry that plagued recent James Bond outings, and Daniel Craig delivers what fans and critics have been waiting for: a caustic, haunted, intense reinvention of 007."

Zodiac had 1 #1 ranking, 5 top 10 rankings

Yes. Marketing budget is around the same cost as production budget for these big CGIgasm tentpole blockbusters.

I heard the production budget was $190M, which would mean total budget (including worldwide marketing) would be $350-400M, no?

Predictions Please: Will there be more MCU films higher up? If so, which ones? Also -

#64 34.13% Director: Jon Favreau Written by: Mark Fergus, Matt Holloway, Art Marcum, Hawk Ostby The Marvel Cinematic Universe is by far and away the biggest current movie franchise, but it all started with this: Iron Man. RT Consensus: "Director Jon Favreau and star Robert Downey make this smart, high impact superhero movie one that even non-comics fans can enjoy.

In a one-two strike, another RDJ movie might be on its way now...

1. FF6 2. FF7 3. FF5

Uh, how so? Sure, it wasn't the first blockbuster, but why does that matter? Do you have any evidence that the box office was hurt? Was the 92M opening weekend too small?

#65 34.02% Director: David Fincher Written by: James Vanderbilt Another Jake Gyllenhaal film to be on the list is David Fincher's 2007 film about the legendary Zodiac serial killer. RT Consensus: "A quiet, dialogue-driven thriller that delivers with scene-after-scene of gut-wrenching anxiety. Fincher also spends more time illustrating nuances of his characters and recreating the mood of the 70s than he does on gory details of murder."

How exactly would it be a danger to Avengers? You realise Avengers is next month right?

Don't lose hope yet.

#66 33.61% Director: Joel Coen Written by: Ethan & Joel Coen Another quirky Coen brothers film, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, makes it on at #66. RT Consensus: "Though not as good as Coen brothers classics, the delightfully loopy O Brother, Where Art Thou? is still a lot of fun."

Spider-Man 3...

No, The Phantom Menace should be the winner here IMO.

#67 33.12% Director: Dan Gilroy Written by: Dan Gilroy 2014 makes its debut on the list - as does Jake Gyllenhaal - at #67 with Nightcrawler. RT Consensus: "Restless, visually sleek, and powered by a lithe star performance from Jake Gyllenhaal, Nightcrawler offers dark, thought-provoking thrills."

I sit at the front of every cinema. Every film is IMAX for me

I was only 9 when Revenge of the Sith came out but I did see it opening weekend. The Force Awakens is going to be my first IMAX movie, I'll be there opening night obviously, I kinda want to dress in full stormtrooper gear but something tells me that I could struggle to wear the 3D glasses in a helmet

Yeah, it is.
