Arlborn Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Eh, I didn't vote for Avatar but I don't find it out of place in a top100 list to be honest. Although it seems Panda made a mistake? Is it on the list or not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Avatar making the list at all is exciting! It's place on the list feels perfect to me. It's not the best but it is certainly a well-executed film that deserved every penny it received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Number 89 Blade Runner (1982) Warner Brothers, Directed by Ridley Scott (48 Points, 12 Votes) "Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave." Top 10 Placements: 1 Top 25 Placements: 3 Previous Rankings: 2016 (65, -24), 2014 (60, -29), 2013 (94, +5), 2012 (Unranked) Awards Count: Nominated for 2 Oscars Tomatometer: 90% (8.5 Avg Rating) Box Office: 32.9m (85.9m Adjusted) Synopsis: A blade runner must pursue and try to terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator. Critic Opinion: "Grand enough in scale to carry its many Biblical and mythological references, "Blade Runner" never feels heavy or pretentious -- only more and more engrossing with each viewing. It helps, too, that it works as pure entertainment. In its soul, it's a detective story complete with a glossy dame and a Chandler-style gumshoe suffering from a case of hard-boiled heartburn. Like Bogey before him, Deckard must shake off the troubles he's seen, the numbing shell, to get back in touch with his feelings. He becomes human again thanks primarily to the replicants who are driven by love for one another to develop empathy." - Rita Kempley User Opinion: "I feel like this is a once in a lifetime film. This is very much a film that was made in the perfect time, place, and by the perfect people. If you had the same people attempt to re-create the magic I have no doubt they would be unable to do so. As with all cinema classics, this is what makes them so special. There are so many unique factors besides talent that contribute to a film. This is cinema magic across so many levels." - @mattmav45 "One of the most important and influential film of all time.And scott hated this movie for decades and he now pretends it is his favourite movie.Masterpieces are sometimes beautiful accident, Scott and Ford hated each other and the movie was a nightmare to shoot.The Rutger Hauer final monologue still gives me chills to this day, pure sci fi poetry." - @The Futurist Commentary: Blade Runner is one of Ridley Scott's most acclaimed works, and often seen as perhaps his greatest. The film influenced the sci-fi genre for years to come, with its grungy dystopian aesthetic, with the beautiful Vangelis score, and with so much subtext that people keep revisiting it to debate the nuances of the film. It's also a rare movie that was re-released with a directors cut that ended up being vastly superior to an already well-acclaimed movie. Despite its now universal acclaim and cult following, the movie was not initially a wild success, which gives hope for how its recent sequel may hold up overtime. The film landed on around 20% of the lists that were submitted.

The Panda Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Also, before people not wanting Avatar on the list start rejoicing, my mistake wasn't just that it was supposed to be Blade Runner at number 89, it was that Avatar was supposed to be one slot higher 36 minutes ago, Critically Acclaimed Panda said: Number 88 Avatar (2009) Twentieth Century Fox, Directed by James Cameron (48 Points, 12 Votes) "And we will show the Sky People... that they cannot take whatever they want! And that this... this is our land!" Number 1 Placements: 1 Top 10 Placements: 2 Top 25 Placements: 3 Previous Rankings: 2016 (Unranked), 2014 (Unranked), 2013 (Unranked), 2012 (48, -40) Awards Count: Won 3 Oscars, Nominated for Best Picture Tomatometer: 83% (7.5 Avg Rating) Box Office: 1.0A 760.5m (891.4m Adjusted) Synopsis: A paraplegic marine dispatched to the moon Pandora on a unique mission becomes torn between following his orders and protecting the world he feels is his home. Critic Opinion: ""Avatar" is not simply a sensational entertainment, although it is that. It's a technical breakthrough. It has a flat-out Green and anti-war message. It is predestined to launch a cult. (Break Quote, what a fortune teller Ebert was, Break Quote) It contains such visual detailing that it would reward repeating viewings. It invents a new language, Na'vi, as "Lord of the Rings" did, although mercifully I doubt this one can be spoken by humans, even teenage humans. It creates new movie stars. It is an Event, one of those films you feel you must see to keep up with the conversation." - Roger Ebert User Opinion: "In my top 10 of all time list. Its a fabulous movie that takes you to another world better than any other film. Its also a film that seems so much better if you connect with the Naavi and their way of life. Cameron just has this nack of making films that connect with so many people." - @stuart360 "I rewatched it the other day and had forgotten just how brilliant it was in the cinema, and it holds up on repeat viewing anyway. Moving and just a great cinematic experience. it is so easy to say "avatar was rubbish" even when you enjoyed it at the time." - @Ranger Tree Commentary: The highest grossing (worldwide) movie of all-time, and there's quite a few people who are never going to let you forget that fact. It's easy to look back in hindsight on Avatar and claim it's nothing special, especially given how far CGI has come since Avatar, but that neglects the impact this movie had on release. There are few movies that have ever provided as an immersive theatrical experience as Avatar managed to do, and (prior to The Force Awakens) this movie held a personal record of most times I saw a film in theaters (even though my opinions may have changed a bit since then). Avatar is also the first film on our list not to have over a 90% score on RT, but to be fair it's also the first movie on our list to gross over 2b WW at the Box Office.
