It seems that based on the comments here I'm one of the bigger villains on this forum. My list had TDKR at number 2 while also including The Hobbit and John Carter pretty high up as well.

Princess Bride or bust.

 

Princess Bride was decent enough and will make my list somewhere, but I didn't get what was so amazing about it.

That was my top 5.

 

Things did not turn out as well as I'd hoped.

Oh, there's the rest of my list.

 

For the curious:

 

1. The Raid: Redemption

2. Dredd

3. Lincoln

4. Wreck-It Ralph

5. Looper

If I had remembered it, Cloud Atlas probably would have been somewhere in the 16-20 range and knocked Lawless off the list.

 

The stuff I had been mulling over, but ultimately didn't choose (in no particular order):

 

The Cabin in the Woods

The Hunger Games

Jack Reacher

Les Miserables

The Grey

Safety Not Guaranteed

Chico & Rita

Battleship

An Unexpected Journey

Robot & Frank

Goon

 

As I like to consider it: a list of movies I've seen from 2012 that are better than The Avengers.

 

I still haven't seen SLP or Perks.

It was a fun movie.

Untouchables is classic

Untouchables wasn't the worst film I saw from 87, but it was the most disappointing, with so many scenes feeling contrived or unrealistic. Sean Connery was great in this, but other than that it just wasn't very good. 

 

As for my list of great 1987 movies:

The Last Emperor

Raising Arizona

Empire Of The Sun

Robocop

Full Metal Jacket

Raising Arizona is pretty great. Upper tier Coens. Robocop, too, though it's scary how prescient it's turned out to be.

 

Empire of the Sun is lower tier Spielberg, IMO. The 80s were a weird period for him where he was starting to try to do more serious work, but didn't clearly know how to break from his blockbuster summer style. I don't think he figured it out until Schindler's List.
