[John Marston]

Does any film make into both this list and the most overrated since 2000 list?  That'd be hilarious.

MAN OF STEEL was #18 on Top Romanian Comedies of the 1980s.

MAN OF STEEL was #18 on Top Romanian Comedies of the 1980s.

 

It also ranked at number 24 on the pre 1960's European Vampire movies directed by men with Pagaen ancestry.  Quite impressive indeed.

It made East German Antje Traue the most desired female movie star in the whole Soviet Bloc

Most impressive.

I think Citzen Kane needs to on the list. Baumer hates this movie enough that it deserves to be on this list. Who cares if it 70 or so years to early to be on the list.

QUANTUM OF SOLACE

 

 

 

PLOT: Is there solace in revenge? Bond and "M" sniff a shadowy international network of power and corruption reaping billions. As Bond pursues the agents of an assassination attempt on "M," all roads lead to Dominic Greene, a world-renowned developer of green technology. Greene, a nasty piece of work, is intent on securing a barren area of Bolivia in exchange for assisting a strongman stage a coup there. The CIA looks the other way, and only Bond, with help from a retired spy and from a mysterious beauty, stands in Greene's way. "M" wonders if she can trust Bond, or if vengeance possesses him. Beyond that, can anyone drawn to Bond live to tell the tale? 

 

I think Quantum's big issue was that it was the sequel to one of the best Bond movies ever. "Casino Royale" was a gamechanger for Bond, and Quantum just couldn't measure up.

ZODIAC

 

 

 

 

PLOT: A serial killer in the San Francisco Bay Area taunts police with his letters and cryptic messages. We follow the investigators and reporters in this lightly fictionalized account of the true 1970's case as they search for the murderer, becoming obsessed with the case. Based on Robert Graysmith's book, the movie's focus is the lives and careers of the detectives and newspaper people. 

[Empire]

Zodiac is such a fantastic movie. Really happy it made the list.

GRINDHOUSE

 

 

 

PLOT: A double-bill of thrillers that recall both filmmakers' favorite exploitation films. "Grindhouse" (a downtown movie theater in disrepair since its glory days as a movie palace known for "grinding out" non-stop double-bill programs of B-movies) is presented as one full-length feature comprised of two individual films helmed separately by each director. "Death Proof," is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while "Planet Terror" shows us a view of the world in the midst of a zombie outbreak. The films are joined together by clever faux trailers that recall the '50s exploitation drive-in classics.

Dredd isn't under appreciated by anyone who saw it.  What is this fuckery?

[SchumacherFTW]

BO numbers are a factor here as well

[The Stingray]

Jesse James in the Top 3. Nice!

THE FOUNTAIN

 

 

 

PLOT: Three stories - one each from the past, present, and future - about men in pursuit of eternity with their love. A conquistador in Mayan country searches for the tree of life to free his captive queen; a medical researcher, working with various trees, looks for a cure that will save his dying wife; a space traveler, traveling with an aged tree encapsulated within a bubble, moves toward a dying star that's wrapped in a nebula; he seeks eternity with his love. The stories intersect and parallel; the quests fail and succeed.

MOON

 

 

 

 

PLOT: With only three weeks left in his three year contract, Sam Bell is getting anxious to finally return to Earth. He is the only occupant of a Moon-based manufacturing facility along with his computer and assistant, GERTY. The long period of time alone however has resulted in him talking to himself for the most part, or to his plants. Direct communication with Earth is not possible due to a long-standing communication malfunction but he does get an occasional message from his wife Tess. When he has an accident however, he wakens to find that he is not alone. He also comes to realize that his world is not what he thought it was.

I should give Zodiac another watch. Liked it the first time, didn't love it.
