Damn I didn't expect this countdown to reach the #1 movie so quickly.

love a nice benevolent all-consuming corporation for which "a takedown of Nazism" is too edgy a stance to take

If it is, likely not until after the Oscar noms are announced. Anyway why is this still on the lot?

I myself only realized it qualified a couple days ago while killing time on Wiki. Given that its source manga is 15 pages long and written by Miyazaki himself it doesn't surprise me that it isn't widely known as being based on one.

They already sorta cheated in the third one when they basically just reset the story in the middle of it. If the fourth one is just "here's two more hours of Keanu shooting people" without an endpoint in sight I think the diminishing returns will get very real.

Yeah I kinda think JW4 needs to be the grand finale. Would serve it well both creatively and BO-wise.

I doubt 250 but something like 80/220 is looking good.

that would require making another 1.4m and it clearly doesn't have that in the tank. still a win obvs. also 2 is my favorite of the Wicks so I like it having the best multi too.

You will disqualify animation right?

Very good movie though I'm not on the masterpiece train.

Saw OUAT...IH today. Not big on the third act (the execution more than the idea) but the first two hours still make it my favorite Tarantino since Basterds. I could watch Rick and Cliff go about their day for hours and hours.

Cool. So take your picks (and movies to catch up with) out of these basically. https://letterboxd.com/films/year/1989/

American trash. (Also you're basically saying use BOM)

Going by IMDb would qualify movies (incl. undeniably popular ones like The Killer and Kiki's Delivery Service) that never had a proper American theatrical run, as well as those that only played at festivals and overseas in 1989 (i.e. The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover) Going by BOM would basically limit us to these 240 movies, that's it https://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?yr=1989&p=.htm You could make it a poll?

That means the IMDb year of release, which is 1988. Also Wiki says nothing about a 1989 American release, only that it was put out on VHS in 1993 and no theatrical distributor had rights to it until the 2010s.

The title of this alone makes me want to take it behind the school and steal its lunch money

That's why you have three weeks until deadline?

Encouraging people to watch movies they haven't seen, then listing the one group of movies they are most likely to have seen already.

Nice. This makes The Killer, Tetsuo, Black Rain (the Japanese one @terrestrial), Society, Santa Sangre, The Unbelievable Truth eligible too.

Keep thinking of this and cracking up tbh. Only on BOT
