I really hope we can afford not to care about that. I can understand this thing with recent years but Wings of Desire is not a 1988 movie ffs. Would be less headache for everyone to just go with the original year that's on IMDb.

I'm gonna keep doing the preseason till next week too. And screw this whole week 0 thing anyway. It's a summer game, it shouldn't begin until summer does

Full Metal Jacket, RoboCop and Predator are essential. Out of films you haven't mentioned I'd say the same for The Dead, Angel Heart, Withnail & I, Radio Days, Prince of Darkness, Evil Dead II, and Wings of Desire.

Marion Cotillard Rebecca Hall Maggie Gyllenhaal Piper Perabo Jorja Fox in THE DEAD WIVES CLUB

That's something @MrPink will star in one day.

1. The Turin Horse 2. Moonrise Kingdom 3. Barbara 4. Killing Them Softly 5. Zero Dark Thirty 6. Cloud Atlas 7. Wuthering Heights 8. Oslo, August 31 9. The Grey 10. Cosmopolis 11. Killer Joe 12. Dredd 13. The Raid 14. Compliance 15. The Imposter 16. The Master 17. Damsels in Distress 18. Searching for Sugar Man 19. Lincoln 20. Django Unchained 21. ParaNorman 22. Skyfall 23. Holy Motors 24. The Cabin in the Woods 25. The Avengers

It's one of the best of the decade ofc but blame Tele and his rules. (Good life advice in general)

This one's not eligible

Probably too late now but we should have done what we did a few years back and added a 16th film at the bottom in case something from our top 15 got delayed.

From the director of My Week with Marilyn and Woman in Gold no less. Hard to resist the urge to tell this movie to fuck off right away.

Might just skip Week 0. These preseasons, man.

Lincoln goes on for 15 minutes longer than it should and is further dragged down a little by Spielberg's typical shoved-in father-son drama with DDL and JGL, but all in all it's still one of his better works. Engaging and alive instead of stuffy and actually funny whenever it wants to be. Should have won Picture and Director if ZDT wasn't going to, and needless to say adapted screenplay. Tony Kushner is really the best thing that happened to Spielberg this century.

62.

Weird how a couple months back Disney seemed to be all set on fudging Moana past 250m and then they kinda just went eh, whatever.

I better not be the only one voting for Cat People next time

Don't forget Matrix Reloaded and ROTS.

All artists worth their salt do their work for themselves first. Spielberg made Jaws and Indiana Jones because he was interested in doing them, not because he thought "I don't give a shit about this, but I guess audiences want this, so sure, whatever." Same with other stuff from Schindler to War of the Worlds to Bridge of Spies.

I'm not so sure I'm looking forward to this countdown

Going way too high on weekdays. Kids movies don't make 40% of the previous weekend's take on weekdays in April and May. More like 20-25%.

Cloud Atlas Barbara The Imposter Dredd ParaNorman Damsels in Distress The Grey Killer Joe Killing Them Softly Oslo, August 31 Holy Motors Also Mud is ineligible, wasn't released till April 2013.

At least he's got Call Me by Your Name just around the corner.

The Witch also opened with a $4k PTA. Them dropping the ball on Free Fire is even more inexplicable considering they proved with that movie that they can get strong results with limited but focused advertising. And FF surely has to be a more accessible movie.

Lincoln and Bridge of Spies were both far better than it seemed they would be, yet I'm still finding it hard to muster up excitement for this. Just sounds so predictable even if Spielberg is as technically proficient and strong with actors as he's ever been. Hopefully it'll be another pleasant surprise.

Universal doesn't handle their horror releases any differently than any other studio.

2018 will also hopefully give us Robert Eggers' Nosferatu remake.
