Empire Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yes Captain America: The Winter Soldier Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Deathly Hallows Part 1 Gravity Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol Rise of the Planet of the Apes Just to point out a handful (there's some more) I don't agree with all of those, but some great choices. One that isn't on your list I feel is better is: Edge of Tomorrow This is also not counting animated films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Of course Interstellar is better than Inception as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) 22. Scarface (1983) Another movie that's pretty good, but completely overblown in terms of praise and kneejerk adulation (especially after it was rediscovered in the '90s and '00s). It's such a hammy, overdone film, everything cranked to 11, so much so that it's hard to look at it as anything more than a parody of itself.

BadAtGender Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 23. The Goonies For some reason, this mid-80s Spielberg-esque effort is beloved and adored by every kid who grew up in the '80s. Everyone except me. It's okay, but nothing that special, and nothing really that other movies in that era did better. Even as a kid, willing to like pretty much everything, I didn't think it was all that. I'm not sure if it was the first, but it's the earliest instance that I can remember of the "roller coaster movie" where you've got a series of sets and events that seem like they're designed for a theme park ride. Honey I Shrunk the Kids is another example. Thankfully, this sub-genre seems to have died. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yeah, Scarface is way more loved than it should be. Decent flick, but nothing special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruthie Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 24. Inception BWAAAAHMMMM Look, I like this movie. Quite a lot, actually. But it's been placed on this absurdly high pedestal by crazed Nolan fanboys who will accept no God other than their own. It's a very clever concept and the action scenes are wonderfully done, and Nolan assembled a great cast... but, like he's tended to do with his recent blockbusters, he takes a brute force approach to storytelling. Exposition-filled speech after exposition-filled speech, characters who do nothing but wander around like the audience's Mary Sue, asking "Why?" ... the first hour is really inert. Great action movie. Lots of fun. One of the greatest movies ever made? Not even close. DUCK AND COVER, PEOPLE! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 21. The Austin Powers sequels The original was cute, funny, and a fresh amusing look at a genre which (for the most part) had taken itself very seriously for a few decades. The sequels that followed were considerably more expensive, more filled with cameos and glam co-stars, but basically just regurgitated or repurposed the same jokes from the first film. The bigger they got, the hollower and emptier they felt. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
