Boxoffice.com's Top 100 Films of All Time 2013: THE RESULTS (final list in OP)

[luna]

looks like 8 1/2 is missing out this year anyway...

[AdamKendall]

I had it in my top 15. It's my favorite of the three

I always like to lump the films together anyway ... I think I had Fellowship #3, Return #11 & Towers #25.

[riczhang]

12 Angry Men is great; glad it's there

 

 

 

WTF?? Ric, if there was any Pixar movie I'd think you'd love, it'd be this one. I mean, it screams "RICZHANG'S FAVORITE PIXAR MOVIE." How can you not like it?

 

My favourite is the Toy Story and Wall-E. Those are actually the only ones that I've liked.

WTF? Hopefully 2001 makes it in. 

[Michael Gary Scott]

:banned:This makes sad such a bad film can be liked by people. I hope some day a world were nobody watches Anchorman again.

Its loved by a lot of people but I know a few who feel the way you do

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Always thought Aliens was better than Alien. Not thanks to its action (although it doesn't hurt at all), but the beautifully developed motherhood motif throughout the whole film along with Ripley's character development and Cameron's direction and storytelling, for me, definitely push it above Alien which isn't much more than a well-paced, tense monster movie in space with a lot of sexual imagery and one-dimensional characters. I mean, it's a damn well done monster movie in space, but I just find Aliens to be a richer and more rewarding movie.

 

Oh, and TSN ain't going away. Damn right it isn't.

The thing that made the characters in Alien so good was that it felt like a secret camera was recording them most of the time, making it feel extremely realistic.  The fact that there wasn't even a main character half way through greatly added to the tension when shit started going south, its a masterpiece of suspense and tension.  The characters in Aliens are very good, but they felt more like carefully written movie characters.

yeah actually i thought ric's fav pixar would've been ratatouille...ah well

#27

27. Jurassic Park

LYR: 38

Steven Spielberg, 1993

 

Nominated for and won 3 Oscars

75 points

 

"We spared no expense."

 

Synopsis: During a preview tour, a theme park suffers a major power breakdown that allows its cloned dinosaur exhibits to run amok.

 

Trivia: Years after this film wrapped, it was discovered due to fossil impressions of velociraptor skin that they were feathered, implying that Grant was indeed right that they evolved into birds.

 

#26

26. Titanic

LYR: 5

James Cameron, 1997

 

Nominated for 13 Oscars, won 11

76 points

 

"I'm the king of the world!"

Synopsis: A seventeen-year-old aristocrat, expecting to be married to a rich claimant by her mother, falls in love with a kind but poor artist aboard the luxurious, ill-fated R.M.S. Titanic.

 

Trivia: Most of the decor on the ship was either reconstructed by or under the supervision of researchers of the White Star Line, the original company which constructed and furnished the Titanic.

Pixar started decreasing in quality with Up. IMO.

[Michael Gary Scott]

My favourite is the Toy Story and Wall-E. Those are actually the only ones that I've liked.

Wall E made my top 10

[Kvikk Lunsj]

looks like 8 1/2 is missing out this year anyway...

I really need to see this one. 

[luna]

WTF? Hopefully 2001 makes it in. 

 

kubrick's movies have all increased, and last year it was #22. easy.

[Blankments]

My favourite is the Toy Story and Wall-E. Those are actually the only ones that I've liked. 

 

But what makes Ratatouille garbage? I'm honestly curious, since it's Pixar's most adult film, and definitely my favorite original Pixar film. Our tastes don't align obviously, but Ratatouille was one I was sure you'd love.

[Jake Gittes]

I find the opposite. Aliens characters were one delusional. 

Well Ripley wasn't, which is what really matters. The rest might have been one-dimensional, but they at least had memorable personalities. In Alien, I only remember Ripley because she survived till the end, John Hurt because of The Scene, Tom Skerritt only because of his beard, Yaphet Kotto only because he was the only black man and Veronica Cartwright only because she was the only other woman besides Ripley. Ironically, Ian Holm's evil android might have had the most personality out of them all. Most of the others were practically non-entities as far as character development was concerned.

[AdamKendall]

Two uber popular films back to back ... Jurassic Park & Titanic both made my list (Titanic just barely)

 

... and damn, JP up from 38 ... Titanic down from 5.

Edited August 3, 2013 by Adam

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Yes!!! Best two combo yet! I put both on my list!

[Blankments]

Titanic is really good. Happy it's there. Haven't seen Jurassic Park.

[Dementeleus]

I think both JURASSIC PARK and TITANIC are ranked too high, but that's not a surprise and I like 'em both, so... Whatever.
