Well, in celebration of whether Evil Dead or Evil Dead 2 is better. I'm watching Phantasm. Gods damn 70s.

Braindead > any Evil Dead movie

[cannastop]

This list died to me due to the rankings of Taxi Driver and Apocalypse Now. Just looking at the runners up now.

 

But thanks very much to Panda!

Gotta say, while i disagree, that one is the definition of a fun splatter movie. I miss this Peter Jackson a bit.

 

Do you like The Frighteners?

[Goffe]

I'm a Raimi stan, but never cared much for his Evil Dead movies. Army of Darkness is the best one btw.

Ashamed to admit I've never seen it actually. Enjoyed Bad Taste and Meet the Feebles though.

If you like these two and Braindead, the humour of The Frighteners should please you. Its basically a more weirder and morbid version of Ghostbusters.

Frighteners is great. I love it. Jeffery Combs is pretty fantastic.

Trick question:

 

The right answer is Evil Dead 3!

 

ok, not really, though the epilogue is amazing. Evil Dead 2 should win for its creativity.

 

I can’t imagine Phantasm aged well. How’s that little metal ball holding up?

[Wrath]

Speaking of great epilogues, I’ve just realized I left Bowfinger off my list. The last 5 minutes of that movie might be my favorite 5 minutes in all of cinema. You just have to remember that it genuinely represents the utmost dreams of all the major characters having come true.

Number 44

Toy Story 3 (2010)

Pixar, Directed by Lee Unkrich (68 Points, 19 Votes)

 

"So long... partner."

 

Top 5 Placements: 1

Top 10 Placements: 2

Top 25 Placements: 6

Previous Rankings: 2016 (30, -14), 2014 (13, -31), 2013 (33, -11), 2012 (67, +23)

Awards Rankings: Won 2 Oscars, Nominated for Best Picture

Tomatometer: 99% (8.9 Avg Rating0

Box Office: 415m (488.6m Adjusted)

Synopis: The toys are mistakenly delivered to a day-care center instead of the attic right before Andy leaves for college, and it's up to Woody to convince the other toys that they weren't abandoned and to return home.

Critic Opinion: "TS3, like its predecessors, is a clever, engrossing adventure, and, like any sequel, it tries to balance continuity with novelty, the latter provided by a cadre of shiny new characters (led by a plush-toy improv troupe) in superfluous 3-D. Pixar has always wedded technological innovation to classic storytelling, and despite some unwelcome steps toward snarky Shrekification, this latest film still manages to bull’s-eye the primal emotions that resonate with children of all ages. When teenaged Andy plops down on the grass to share his old toys with a shy little girl, the film spikes with sadness and layered pleasure—a concise, deeply wise expression of the ephemeral that feels real and yet utterly transporting." - Eric Hynes

User Opinion: "TS3 could be my all-time favorite animated movie. It really has everything you'd wish for in a movie. The last scene is a tearjerker because it's about letting go of your childhood. But the movie doesn't forget to excite you with the "prison escape" scenes and to also make you laugh.

 

I don't want to give it an A+ because too many movies get that rating. TS3 is something special; it deserves better." - @lolifofo

 

"Beautiful animation, beautiful characters, beautiful ending to what could, argubably, be considered the best trilogy of all time, by some. This movie's last 20 minutes are some of the most incredible scenes put to film in cinema history.. no exaggeration. The hand holding scene was gut wrenching, beautiful, powerful, sad, and epic, all at once. And just when you thought Pixar couldn't go for more, they create the last scene with Andy saying goodbye to his friends by giving them away in a heartfelt closing scene. Love love love this movie."  - @Letsuseournoggin

Commentary: The Toy Story saga makes it onto our list again, this time with the closing chapter (or what should have been) of the series.  Toy Story 3 takes the same characters you've grown to love, places them in a prison break adventure, and then rips your heart out with a final twenty minutes that is the reason this installment has gotten so much acclaim, including being one of the only animated films nominated for Best Picture.  Lee Unkrich has shown himself to be one of Pixar's finest directors, and Toy Story 3 might be the crown achievement from his repertoire.  The film landed on 31% of the lists submitted with an average score of 3.6.

It is easily the best thing in the movie. Also tall man is impressive. But yeah, I can see why this is a cult classic, but boy it's...it's not very good.
