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

[Tower]

#15

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

LYR: 9

Peter Jackson, 2003

 

Nominated for and won 11 Oscars

93 points

 

"I am no man!" (I am going to use this quote every time, sorry.)

 

Synopsis: Gandalf and Aragorn lead the World of Men against Sauron's army to draw his gaze from Frodo and Sam as they approach Mount Doom with the One Ring.

 

Trivia: The Lord of the Rings trilogy became the most nominated film series in Academy Award history with 30 nominations, surpassing both the Godfather trilogy (28) and the Star Wars franchise (21).

 

I think Two Towers is the best of the series.

This is were you can blame riczhang a bit, he wouldn't split out film series, so I bet his points only went to Godfather II and 0 points for the other two

Yes

He fucked it up.

Oh well ... I guess I can live with Godfather Part 2 being higher, but damn ... #16 is quite a drop.

[AdamKendall]

Acceptable, but since it's really one giant production, it just means another spot's going to be wasted with FOTR.

Yep, LOTR is the one series of films that 'trilogy' could really apply since essentially filming all at same time or back to back to back.

#14 (spoiler alert it's actually good)

14. Casablanca

LYR: 33

Michael Curtiz, 1940

Nominated for 8 Oscars, won 3

93 points

 

"Here's looking at you, kid."

 

Synopsis: Set in unoccupied Africa during the early days of World War II: An American expatriate meets a former lover, with unforeseen complications.

 

Trivia: The letters of transit that motivate so many characters in the film did not exist in Vichy-controlled France - they are purely a plot device invented by the screenwriters. PlaywrightJoan Alison always expected somebody to challenge her about the letters, but nobody ever did.

[AdamKendall]

Man, quite a bump for Casablanca this year.

[Dementeleus]

Always nice to see an older movie ranked so high.... but I wish it had made the Top 10.

Nice jump

If I do it again next year, I'm thinking of counting LOTR as a single film. Let me know what you all think.

Good no reason for it to waste spots.

Yes, then I can place it at #2.

[Punishment]

I think Baumer is going to be quite happy of where Jaws ends up this year

Jaws deserves top 10.

 

Between Jaws, The Dark Knight & Fellowship, Baumer can't be too upset.

Nah, because not all of us like all three films.

[Dementeleus]

Nah, because not all of us like all three films.

Then take into consideration all three parts and rank accordingly.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I hate TTT.

[Dementeleus]

I hate TTT.

So I guess LOTR will end up in the 50s for you.

#13 (bleh)

13. Back to the Future

I think you should leave them separate - what about Back to the Future and Matrix? 

[AdamKendall]

I love Back to the Future, but that is definitely high.
