[WrathOfHan]

Despite being a Best Picture nominee, Ethan had no idea An Education was a movie until I watched it a couple weeks ago, so him never hearing of Doubt doesn't surprise me lmao

Burn After Reading would've been higher if I submitted a list.

To everyone giving me reactions: it ain't my fault 2008 is a boring year for movies and I didn't have 15 worthy ones to submit. I would've had to put Mamma Mia! on my list ffs 🤮

[dxmatrixdt]

with Hancock at #25, and

dOUbT at #22, I doubt any dark horse personal favorites scored any higher than #22.  assuming this system is democratic of course.  

 

is BOT selling or shutting down or something?

20. Man on a Wire - 138 points

 

 

On August 7th 1974, French tightrope walker Philippe Petit stepped out on a high wire, illegally rigged between New York’s World Trade Center twin towers, then the world’s tallest buildings. After nearly an hour of performing on the wire, 1,350 feet above the sidewalks of Manhattan, he was arrested. This fun and spellbinding documentary chronicles Philippe Petit’s “highest” achievement.

 

Here we have an acclaimed documentary about a man on a wire

1. 19. Pineapple Express- 142.5 points

A stoner and his dealer are forced to go on the run from the police after the pothead witnesses a cop commit a murder.

 

Our token Seth Rogen stoner comedy 

[WrathOfHan]

Pineapple Express is actively fine. Not one of my favorite Rogen films but still a good time

I'd never heard of this movie before doing this list. It's got a cool cast though

You need to watch Doubt ASAP, Ethan. There's a scene in it when the nuns are having dinner and Amy takes a bad piece of food out of her mouth and puts it on her plate before putting it back in her mouth after Meryl gives her a death stare.

One of the best theater experiences I have ever had was during Pineapple Express. About 20-30 people in the audience started groaning in despair (think "Oh no!" and such) when the barn went up in flames near the end of the film. Clearly all of the stoners were upset by the loss of all that weed. Those few moments were funnier than anything in the movie and I laughed a lot during the movie.

Pineapple Express is definitely a fun movie. In fact all of the Seth Rogen and crew movies are funny when you go back and watch them again. Even something like 30 minutes or less has its humorous moments as well. Superbad and knocked up are probably the best of the bunch along with 40 year old virgin. But how all of them are pretty great.

So it's the good version of The Nun basically

18. Bolt - 154 points

 

 

Bolt is the star of the biggest show in Hollywood. The only problem is, he thinks it’s real. After he’s accidentally shipped to New York City and separated from Penny, his beloved co-star and owner, Bolt must harness all his “super powers” to find a way home.

 

Disney animation about a dog. I saw it once. remember it being cute

Doubt is kinda amazing in just how funny it gets at times for such a serious drama about an allegation. That scene where Amy whining to Meryl that she doesn't like Hoffman because he likes Frosty the Snowman that concludes with the light in Meryl's office burning out and Meryl saying "look at that, you blew out my light" still makes me laugh every time I think about it. Movie is really good too even though, like most movies based on plays, it can't completely overcome its stage origins.

17. Mamma Mia- 156 point

 

 

An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on a Greek island is about to marry off the spirited young daughter she’s raised alone. But, the daughter has secretly invited three of her mother’s ex-lovers in the hopes of finding her biological father.
