BTW, this is a great film. For me the second best film of the year after Beasts of the Southern Wild.
-
If you loved this and Fantastic Mr Fox I recommend you check out Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums. They're both at the same quality level as Moonrise Kingdom.Delightful.Best movie of the year by far.But then, I have only seen Fantastic Mr Fox, so I'm not used to or tired of such a movie.

I also love that the Daily Mail gave it zero stars and called it "absolutely dreadful". The cherry on the cake.

My top 3 for 2012 yesterday:1) Moonrise Kingdom2) Argo3) The GreyMy top 3 today:1) Beasts of the Southern Wild2) Moonrise Kingdom3) ArgoLove just isn't a strong enough word for how I felt about this. It's certainly the best film since Drive, possibly since Black Swan, and I'll be amazed if a better film comes out this year.The mixed comments don't surprise me though. It's very open about its emotions and I suppose some will find it mawkish. But if you're on the fence about watching it, think of BOTSW as this: Days of Heaven made by David Simon.

Ah OK. Well either way it just struck me as a really weird, rude outburst.No, he meant that if you didn't submit a list, then you have no right to complain if a film you loved didn't make the cut, or a film you hate did make it onboard.
-
So only people who submitted lists are entitled to express their opinions about any of these movies?If you're gonna express opinions as obnoxious as that maybe you're the one who should STFU.I think the only people that can really complain are those who submitted. All you others, stfu

Amy Acker as a SHIELD agent would work nicely.

I agree it's a surprise that Iron Man ranked higher than Spider-Man 2 (or at least I don''t agree with it).Hunger Games is flavour of the month, so it's no surprise.After thinking a bit, these are the biggest shocks of the list in my opinion:- Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 are nowhere to be seen, but Avengers and Iron Man are in the top 70!,- No Harry Potter made the final top 100, but somehow The Hunger Games sneaked into it,What do you guys think?
-
That's because you have a different opinion to those of us who think it's average.Opinions. Assholes. Yada. Yada.To say TDKR was an "average" movie doesn't make sense to me.

The Long Goodbye
-
No way should it be number one, but Goodfellas is definitely a better movie than Pulp Fiction.The list is factually incorrect. Goodfellas is number one. Please correct the mistake Sims.

Damnit! If I'd been paying attention and got my list in on time I would have stopped Pulp Fiction winning.2. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the RingPeter Jackson, 2001Trivia: Would have been #1 had I accepted a late entry.
-
Yup, and at least Fox won't be cancelling this one.i was hopeing for a movie. Not a tv show..But hey.. JW is back on tv.. i can live with that
-
I was hoping Tim Minear would be the show runner, but Jeffrey Bell's good too.
-
Love this movie. It's basically season 2 of Firefly compressed down to 100 minutes, and inevitably (especially in the first half) suffers from that. But so what? It's got bags of humour, heart, 3 dimensional characters you genuinely care about, real science fiction ideas, a fantastic antagonist, the inevitable Joss Whedon Death.In other words, it's got everything you could want as a fan of the TV show, or just as a fan of this type of movie.Grade: A.

I watched True Grit (2010) again over the weekend. Every time I watch it I like it more. It's getting pretty close to my top 3.
-
I didn't love it either first time I saw it. I thought Fargo had been a big step forward for them. It was more emotional, less "taking the piss out of man's stupidity". Then this seemed like a step back again. It was juvenile. Technically brilliant but empty.Second time I watched it, a few years later, I totally, totally loved it (the weed probably helped). Probably seen it another 15 times since. Now it's my favourite Coen bros movie, and is easily in my top 10 of all time.Grade: A

It's so bad it's incredible. Genuinely.It has a 3 rating on imdb. Is it so bad it's funny or is it really that funny?

I'm pretty sure it's 2003.When you watch it get drunk. Really drunk. You'll have a great night.What year did this come out? IMDB has 2003 and 2006. Which one?

The Room is the only movie I have to pause every few minutes due to the pain of laughter.
No other movie can do that. Not every single time I watch it. Ergo, this is the funniest movie ever made.
Don't get me wrong, there have been plenty of great comedies: "The Producers", "Withnail and I", "The Big Lebowski" and "This is Spinal Tap" were, before this changed everything, at the top of my list. But even they can not compete with this movie. Watching The Room really is like sitting on an atomic bomb, waiting for it to go off... an atomic bomb of laughter. This movie literally has 8 or 9 of the 10 funniest moments in movie history. That one, short, infamous scene in the florist, by itself, contains more belly laughs than most other comedies can manage in 90 minutes.
Tommy Wiseau has (somehow) created an "accidental masterpiece". A movie so great, so insane, so wonderful - yet all in ways that I suspect Mr. Wiseau has no concept of, and certainly had no intention of creating. He set out to make a sexy thriller, but what came out was utterly unsexy (at moments it's in fact gross), entirely unthrilling - and were you to be stupid enough to watch as a drama, you would find absolutely no drama anywhere in the movie. It has characters who act in ways no human being has ever acted, and saying things that either a) make no sense, b] are completely irrelevant to what is happening, or c) start a subplot that is subsequently never again mentioned.
But all the many, many things that would kill it as a straight drama become pure gold when played for laughs. The execution is beyond inept - in fact the whole debacle seems to have been conceived as a vanity project for Mr. Wiseau. Normally this would be a terminal misstep, but because Mr. Wiseau is one of the greatest men who ever lived, the movie instead becomes endlessly entertaining, and his performance ever more fascinating.
Get this movie.
Grade: A. (Obviously)

My guess is that Beasts of the Southern Wild and Moonrise Kingdom would be my top 2 if I'd seen them. I haven't though so it's The Avengers.
-
1) Once Upon A Time in the West
Intended by Leone to be the ultimate Western. And it is.
2) The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
The fastest three hours in cinema.
3) Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid
Better than The Wild Bunch. Peckinpah's best Western.
