Boxoffice.com's Top 100 Films -- 2013 THREAD TO START SOON! POSSIBLE RULE CHANGES ON PG. 50

[Walt Disney]

1 Billion world wide is not an event movie? News to me.

Not a domestic event movie. And I know this is speakeasy, but I mostly focus on Domestic. I don't consider Alice in Wonderland to be an event movie either, for the record. The expanding foreign market isn't something I can easily compare. Therefore, I stick to the domestic box office. Edited August 29, 2012 by Walt Disney

So? The Phantom Menace was a movie event, so was Transformers 2. Movie event =/= quality.

Yeah, but TA is quality. So it's very different. TA will be a movie that people will still talk about in 10 years.

Because you know exactly what films will be talked about and well regarded in 10 years?

3 Words: Grey's Sports Almanac

[AniNate]

There probably should've been some sort of cutoff for how soon the movie had come out to prevent voting on impulse

3 Words: Grey's Sports Almanac

So does Skynet exist in the future?

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Yeah, but TA is quality. So it's very different. TA will be a movie that people will still talk about in 10 years.

I did not think TA was that good. You have no idea on how people will view TDKR or TA. People might look back like at SM and think on how badly they aged and how bad the hulk looks now.

How was TSN a pleasant surprise? If you were on the BOM forums during the last two years, you'd know how popular it is with this community,

I don't think so. No one looks back at Terminator 2 and thinks about how dated the technology looks. It was ground-breaking at the time and people still remember it. The same thing with Star Wars. The special effects don't look state-of-the-art anymore, but people still remember it.

I expected it to make the list but not this high up.

Son of a bitch. I enjoy Forrest Gump enough, and Tom Hanks is my favorite actor ever, but I cannot abide by this.

Glad it made the list. Though I thought it should be higher. However, I am glad that it made it.

[Jack Nevada]

Yes! Social Network! wooo hoooo!
