Return of the King is the Best Film of the Century. Fact.

Recommended Posts

Hey treeroy, could we get some clarification on the "soon" part?

Sorry, I was waiting for one final person to send their list. :)

 

just a quick FYI - instead of listing the number of points a movie got, or how many lists it was on, I'll give the percentage of the #1 movie's value that it has. makes it more comparable to the rest of the list :)

#99 is the controversial, star-studded Hollywood war parody, Tropic Thunder. It earned 24.75% of #1's points.

Tropic Thunder is a triumphant late-summer comedy."

Directors: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen

#98 on the forum's list is the quirky Coen Brothers story of a struggling musician in the 60s. It earned 24.78% of #1's points.

 

RT Consensus: "Smart, funny, and profoundly melancholy, Inside Llewyn Davis finds the Coen brothers in fine form."

Royal Tenenbaums & Tropic Thunder both should have been higher.

When I look at the top 100 films list itself I wish they were higher, but if you saw the full list and what they managed to beat, then they fully deserve their spots here. I don't want to spoil anything but there's one film in particular that these beat which is truly impressive, and I can't quite believe these all beat. Seriously, they are well loved if they're on the list. :)

 

 

On a side note, Les Grossman is my favourite Tom Cruise performance. He steals the movie for me.

#97

 

24.78%

 

movies-pacific-rim-poster-2.jpg

 

Director: Guillermo del Toro

Written by: Travis Beacham & Guillermo del Toro

 

At #97, del Toro's biggest and most over-the-top movie, Pacific Rim. It earned 24.78% of #1's points.

 

RT Consensus: "It may sport more style than substance, but Pacific Rim is a solid modern creature feature bolstered by fantastical imagery and an irresistible sense of fun."

24.82%

Catch%20me%20if%20you%20can%20DVD%20Inla

Director: Steven Spielberg

Written by: Jeff Nathanson

 

Where would a Top Movies list be without a Spielberg film? Catch Me If You Can earned 24.82% of #1's points.

 

RT Consensus: "With help from a strong performance by Leonardo DiCaprio, Spielberg crafts a film that's stylish, breezily entertaining, and surprisingly sweet."

The-Perks-of-Being-a-Wallflower-poster.j

 

Director: Stephen Chbosky

Written by: Stephen Chbosky

 

Clearly a fan favorite among many members of the forum, it's of little surprise to see Perks scrape its way into the final 100. It earned 24.86% of #1's points.

 

RT Consensus: "a heartfelt and sincere adaptation that's bolstered by strong lead performances."

I forgot about Catch Me if You Can.  Happy to see Tropic Of Thunder (I'll say it, RDJ should have won the Oscar) and The Royal Tennenbaums though that later should have been much higher (and criminally Gene Hackman wasn't even Oscar nominated)

 

How many lists were sent in?

Director: Rich Moore

Written by: Phil Johnston & Jennifer Lee

 

The first of many animated films to make it on to the list is the videogames-inspired Wreck-It Ralph. It earned 24.86% of #1's points.

 

RT Consensus: "Equally entertaining for both kids and parents old enough to to catch the references, Wreck-It Ralph is a clever, colorful adventure built on familiar themes and joyful nostalgia."
