So TDK is one of the two best movies ever made. A true American Classic. The purest of movies. Art. Unique. Perfect direction and editing. Magical in every possible way.

Its like a cold nice shower after the TFA’s mistreating of cinema.

Ah now i see why TFA is Hailed as one of the greats — the audience was engaged. The time when han and chewie entered the Falcon is just as great as the time when Kramer went in to seinfelds apartment in the first episode of season 5 in Seinfeld. I can imagine the audience cheered just because of memories and nostalgia rather than actual entertainment.

I thought unforgivable was quite sad and thrilling. Maybe eastwoods best along with changeling

His most straight films. The master/magnolia>>>>>>>therell be blood/Phantom thread. Best American director this side of 2000...

James Bond of course.

Cant believe transformers 4 is lower ranked than TFA. Transformers 4 is much more transformers than TFA is Star Wars. And transformers 4 has much more integrity and personality than the soulless mcfeast that TFA is. If TFA was an avengers film with Thor, Captain and iron man with it no one would care.

i wonder if TFA had made the list if it wasnt labeled a Star Wars movie.

Do you think the final total will be less than $500m?

Game night will pass underworld: the awakening tomorrow

Ready player one deserves a spot. Monumental.

Movie was great. Of his very good ones (JP, IJ, BoS, MR, Lincoln) this might be his best. Not very unique but as a lightly philosiphical piece it is heart warming to see something that aint drenched in cynism or is too focused on being mat”whatever”rix

So black panther is with 38 days the movie that has the longest run of >$2m daily. Jimbo: the iron movie grossed 2m daily for 54 days.

Thats 96 or 97 films..

My favorites as of now. 1. Star Wars: Episode I-V (1977-2005) (with RotS being the greatest, AotC being my personal favorite, ESB being the most technically accomplished, TPM being the most unique, and ANH being the most fun/nostalgia awakening) 2. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) (impossible to review; the greatest single piece of sound and vision I’ve seen) 3. Schindler’s List (1993) (being as close to magical a tragedy can be) 4. Deer Hunter (1978) (another magical movie – the opera soundtrack upon those mountain tops is goosebumping and that weird tension between those macho men is uncomfortably precise) 5. Eyes Wide Shut (1999) (I just love the fact that this masterpiece so much tribute to Mozart – not only can you hear his requiem in the background, that masked ball could very well be a nightmarish take on a scene from AMADEUS (1984)) 6. Singin’ in the rain (1952) (pop culture for everyman. Very talented people behind this) 7. Uncle Boonme (2010) (after Singin in the Rain this might be one of the happiest films ever) 8. Bambi (1942) (Disney’s masterpiece; this has BOYHOOD written all over it) 9. Psycho (1960) (technically flawless) 10. Citizen Kane (1941) (technically flawless too)

Pretty much the reason why people keeps on hating the first two Star Wars prequels. Not their kind of stuff though the film making is pretty flawless. But I respect your taste and wisdom. Hence this list should be called "BOT's favorite movies" instead since we're not really talking about movies as art and assess movie's uniqueness and intentions. BTW I too am a bigger fan of Apocalypse (the voice over is nitpicking at its finest). And I'm not a big fan of 12 angry men now when we're talking politics in film.

@IronJimbo you know what to do next?

Avatar had a 30% tuesday-tuesday drop on its fourth tuesay. But that tuesday was the tuesday after the holidays. So I suppose Avatar is a champ. But if BP decreases less than 17.6% next tuesday from this tuesday I suppose BP will be some kind of champ as well.

ah, the consensus! touché

That movie is pretty much as far from a sinking ship a movie can be

So besides BPs amazing run (and the amazing run of avatar #iron jimbo): Peter rabbit dropped 0.3% from last monday and jumanji dropped 1%.

I think its awesome that your ten favorite movies also happen to be the ten highest grossers of all time.

I think this thread needs some ranting about the successful run of avatar.. that should end this nonsense
