  1. I hope you find the richness and complexity of my posts to be a pure pleasure to experience.
  2. Johansson is great, if anything the problem is that her last few MCU movies haven't given her anything to do acting-wise except stand around looking serious and deliver clipped dialogue. Winter Soldier is the only one that allowed different sides of her to shine through.
  3. Diabolique is pretty killer stuff (har har har). Never been so happy that I'd managed to spend years remaining unspoiled on a movie's ending. It doesn't really get more exquisite than those last 10 minutes.
  4. The less than $10m opening Wednesday must have caused some huge meltdowns.
  5. I mean it barely made back its production budget in the States and got massively owned by Narnia.
  6. Would've been pretty morbid if Carl Reiner was in this but not alive. I'm all for experimenting but not sure this would've worked.
  7. 1. My Winnipeg 2. Speed Racer I'll decide on the rest if/when the thing actually happens.
  8. Obviously the best thing to do is go straight back to like 1928. Does The Passion of Joan of Arc or the Buster Keaton or the Charlie Chaplin take it? Let BOT decide.
  9. Looking at the other possibilities 1988 could give us an interesting showdown between Die Hard, Roger Rabbit and the two Ghibli movies especially if enough people participate. 1993 and 1998 belong to the Spielbergs but there'd be room for surprises below. 2003 is ROTK followed by Finding Nemo and then Pirates and Kill Bill and honestly I'm not sure the rest would be worth it even though there are some great movies there. 2013 Gravity very likely wins but not necessarily by a large margin and it's a really packed year beyond that, the order could be fun.
  10. It's not like that order made any sense though. Just random skipping around.
  11. hard to say no to any list although most other years ending with 3 or 8 would've been more interesting. And oh wow they're even deleting the posts here about it. No trace of any 2008 revisiting thread having ever existed should be found here. I expect people knocking on my door any minute.
  12. 1. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 3. The Empire Strikes Back 4. Raiders of the Lost Ark 6. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 7. Star Wars 10. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 11. The Matrix 12. Pulp Fiction 16. GoodFellas 18. Jaws 21. Mad Max: Fury Road 23. Casablanca 36. The Incredibles 37. Aliens 39. Fight Club 46. Se7en 48. The Shining 50. Vertigo 56. Apocalypse Now 57. Once Upon a Time in the West 63. Taxi Driver 64. Rear Window 70. Memento 72. Fargo 75. Heat 84. Before Sunrise 87. Lawrence of Arabia 90. Chinatown 95. There Will Be Blood 29/100 104. The Big Lebowski 107. Before Sunset 112. Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb 123. The Apartment 151. The Social Network 187. Modern Times 200. Reservoir Dogs 209. Mulholland Drive 232. Zodiac 38/250 Does this mean I have the least casual taste so far.
  13. Also we last did this in 2013, not 2015 I'm not sure I have the same energy for this I did when I was 19 (even if there's no panel stuff involved) but I'll try to put something together.
  14. Just remember, both of them would have made it if you hadn't counted the worldwide top 100. Avatar and Last Jedi would have fallen out, and The Avengers would've been way below 101, thus allowing LA Confidential, No Country and Lebowski in. Thank you for all the time and effort you gave to this, though.
  15. No, Box Office Theory, 12 Angry Men Is NOT The 5th Greatest Movie Of All Time: Why Idolization Of Angry Masculinity Is Problematic More Than Ever In The Age Of Trump
