But did you have Iron Man on your list? Because he did.

It looks like My Cousin Vinnie won't make the list. It would have been there already if it was going to make it. Even though I have it ranked high, I thought that if it made the list, it would end up low on the list.

Would be on it if I used rankings!!

That would be mildly surprising. I thought it would have made it already. It was on my list at number 60.

Whoa. That is the first time I ever read something like that. Especially with all the hype The Master is getting on this forum and well everywhere.

To be fair, I was in law school, so I was too busy to follow movies closely. I missed a few movies from 2006-2009. However, I never even heard of it. So when i was catching up on movies that I missed, that movie never came up. I don't even remember flipping through it on cable.I missed Mr. Brooks that year too. However, i caught it on cable and it was absolutely amazing. It did make my list. Edited August 29, 2012 by Walt Disney
