Good list so far... barring Civil War.  

 

I purposely avoided voting for anything that hadn't been out for more than a year. Meaning no Mad Max, sorry Tele

 

Good job Panda tho so far, enjoying this

Not going to say what I suspect it is, but I think the next entry might be a bigger groaner than the last one.

IMBd Synopsis: Harry Potter is having a tough time with his relatives (yet again). He runs away after using magic to inflate Uncle Vernon's sister Marge who was being offensive towards Harry's parents. Initially scared for using magic outside the school, he is pleasantly surprised that he won't be penalized after all. However, he soon learns that a dangerous criminal and Voldemort's trusted aide Sirius Black has escaped from the Azkaban prison and wants to kill Harry to avenge the Dark Lord. To worsen the conditions for Harry, vile creatures called Dementors are appointed to guard the school gates and inexplicably happen to have the most horrible effect on him. Little does Harry know that by the end of this year, many holes in his past (whatever he knows of it) will be filled up and he will have a clearer vision of what the future has in store...

Critic Opinion: "Against this backdrop, Harry returns for his third year at Hogwarts where he sees that soul-sucking wraiths called Dementors have been stationed to guard against an attempted intrusion by Sirius Black. Plus, there are other new creatures around, such as the half-horse, half-eagle hippogriff. Of course, Harry enlists the assistance of pals Ron and Hermione to help solve the multi-layered mystery.  All the tension builds inexorably towards a showdown with Black. But on the way to the film's resolution, we're treated to enough kid-scary scenarios, filled with a menagerie of menacing and morphing computer-generated special effects, to make the movie worthwhile." - Kam Williams

User Opinion: "In most ways, this is the best of the series. When you look back at COS, and then this, there's a HUGE difference. Buckbeaks flight alone trumps nearly every scene from the 2nd movie.The feeling I get from watching POA is unlike any other from a Potter movie; the movie feels like the book." - Heretic

Personal Comment: Prisoner of Azkaban marks the 2nd (and last) Harry Potter film to make this list, it's also the second in a row from the year 2004, bringing the 2000s decade count up to 3.  This is also the first film to have moved up in ranking from a previous list instead of down or being a newcomer to the top 100.  Many regard this as the best Harry Potter film, and for good reason, visionary Alfonso Cuaron takes the wheel and you have to admit he left his mark on the franchise.  While many Harry Potter films can feel rather, by the books, this one can truly feel magical.

 

 

 

[WrathOfHan]

Good.

[Dementeleus]

 

[narniadis]

Eh this list took a dive with that film  (it is the best of the series though by a long mile) 

 

North by northwest is too low considering how highly regarded it appears to be on this site 

[narniadis]

And Panda the write ups and how you are working this list is awesome just want to say. 

[Ethan Hunt]

Alright

[Empire]

Best of the Harry Potter series!

Tele, you might want to stop reading before you get a heart attack. You're not a kid anymore. You could hurt yourself out there

Are you telling me that you haven't seen GATTACA

 

 

Seen it?

 

I'm pretty sure it made my list.

I like how Ethan keeps on talking up Gattaca, as if repeating the movie in this thread 12409 times makes up for all his other cinema transgressions

I have zero complaints about 86 making the list.  None
