This means Ant-Man is in the Top 15  

 

This also means JW is in the Top 15  

[75Live]

wow The Revenant out of the top 15.  Telemachos is either doing cartwheels or crying it's on the list at all  

[grim22]

That's it for today. The reveal of the top 15 will start around 10-10:30am Pacific time tomorrow.

This will definitely get Leo his Oscar, just in time before he goes completely crazy trying to win one.

before?

I voted for Scouts Guide.  It's one of my faves of the year.  Did anyone else even see it?  And for those who did, didn't you find the humour to be well...humorous?  There was a lot to like about it and it was incredibly smart.

 

MJ2 is just horrid, can't believe there were enough people who liked it enough to get it on here.

Compton is about where it should be imo.

Never heard of 22.

 

Good job so far GRIM.

Judging by it's astronomical total of $3.7M I'm gonna wager...no.

I was saying that as soon as #21 was announced.  It was guaranteed

Spy made my top 25.  Statham and Byrne...the slutty penguin trainer....made it worth watching multiple times.

The Revenant

 

 

 

 

 

A revenge drama starring DiCaprio and Hardy directed by Inarritu which was apparently really hard to film. I enjoyed the movie well enough, but it seems to inspire very polarized reactions here. People either love it or hate it, doesn't seem to be much in between. This will definitely get Leo his Oscar, just in time before he goes completely crazy trying to win one.

Excellent from a film perspective but just serviceable when it comes to entertainment. It's pure Oscar bait (and there's nothing wrong with that) with phenomonal acting by both DiCaprio and Hardy. The cinematography makes the absolute most out of the gorgeous scenery but the movie itself feels every bit as long as it's nearly 3 hour run time. Be ready for long portions without much dialogue. The weakest spot (just like The Force Awakens) was Dohmnall Gleeson who I thought felt miscast and sort of wooden compared to everyone else. I loved his performance in Ex Machina but I didn't buy him as the general in this. He didn't even feel like a character of that time period.

Overall, it's worth seeing but I doubt I'll revisit it. And I really hope when Cinemasins takes it on, that they do a bonus round that counts how many shots there are of just trees and nature. Because there are so damn many here that it starts to become funny. Like really I got the metaphor but this movie pounds you over the head with it. If Leo finally wins his Oscar it will be deserved but honestly he's been better in the past. So yeah, with all that said, I think it's one of 2015s best but won't end up as one of my favorites.
 

Oh and the eating snowflakes scene reminded me a lot of Sandra Bullock howling like a coyote in Gravity.

Black Swan for Men.

 

no, seriously. the way it revels in the torture of the human mind and body reminds me very much of the way Aronofsky treats his characters. Ad to that Lubezkis gorgeous photography and Innaritus long, immersive takes and you have a ride at least as intense as Mad Max 4. As to the people who find it too long - I don't know, maybe upon multiple viewing, but I experienced not a single bored second, those 2+ hours really flew by.

It won't show up. I still believe Ultron and/or Ant-Man will show up.

I would be okay with both of those.

[BourneFan #1]

I don't think Ultron has enough love to make it in the top 15.

4 people voted for it. At one point, I actually thought it would make the top 25

I haven't seen SG myself, but a lot of the humor seemed really forced, like they were trying to create a lot of memes or something. Brad Jones' review of the film is pretty hilarious though. I haven't seen him be that anger at a film since The Loft, when he did his midnight screening of it.

For or lists like this, it matters more what movies were seen. 

[BourneFan #1]

Where do you guys think Creed is placed? I'm hoping for top 5 but that's unrealistic.

[baumer]

Hateful 8 was fine but far from top 25 imo.  

Hope to see Ant-Man here.

If AOU makes it, I'll have to vomit.

You know what this forum needs? A remake of August: Osage County with various members.
