Weird they didn't have road house and bloodsport in the top 2

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Bloodsport has more reason to be on the top 100 than Infinity War

[tifosi77]

Empire Magazine posted an article on their top 100 films of all time. They combined reader votes with the staff critics and the list is... questionable.

Top 10:
10) Goodfellas
9) Raiders of the Lost Ark
8) Infinity War
7) Pulp Fiction
6) Jaws
5) Shawshank Redemption
4) The Dark Knight
3) The Godfather
2) Empire Strikes Back
1) Fellowship of the Ring

Not that I dislike any of those, but that's the top 10? Woof. I saw a comment saying this is like the list of most popular movie posters hung in a freshman dorm. Spot on.

Infinity War...........................


Remember when we as a group had a discussion about the weight that the opinions of fans should be given in the NFL thread? This is why that's very dumb.

As for my generation, if it were dorm room posters Donnie Darko would figure much higher. And instead of Pulp Fiction it would be Reservoir Dogs because of the Mr White/Mr Pink pointing guns at each other poster.

I mean, are we gonna start saying that critics' opinions are much better? because I can very easily show some evidence that critics are morons too



ultimately lists like these are useless. film taste is way too subjective. they're a good starting point if you're looking to discover some new movies but thinking they're the end all be all is a waste of time

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

ok I can't help it. here's the list that enrages me: https://www.indiewire.com/2016/08/100-g ... 201719368/


top 100 movies of the 21st century as voted on by critics. No LOTR, no Gladiator and no Whiplash is enough for me to immediately ignore this list (it does have, however, AI, Let the Right One In and Ratatouille which are all crap)

[nocera]

Let the Right One In is fantastic.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Let the Right One In is fantastic.

I'll be honest, I remember there was a little confusion because a friend recommended me Let the Right One In and I can't remember if I watched the original or the American remake which, according to IMDB, is a bit worse. but whichever one I did see, I do remember disliking it

[Dickie Dunn]

Let the Right One In is amazing and Let Me In is an unnecessary but still pretty amazing adaptation.

[faftorial]

Live festivals sound like a nightmare to me.

This is a stunningly bad take. Even as someone who enjoys a good strong take here and there, this has easily gotta be among the Top 10 worst takes in this thread as voted on by me.

(And I also think LtROI is great but can see how it might not be completely accessible taste-wise)

eh, I thought it was very subpar for a Pixar movie. Felt like it was all over the place and none of the characters really engaged me


compared to a Coco, Inside Out, Finding Nemo, Toy Story, Wall-E, it's nothing

[nocera]

Ratatouille is part of an insane run Pixar went on with Ratatouille, Wall-E, and Up all in a row. It’s up there with their best.

[shafnutz05]

Correct. 1999-2010 Pixar was fantastic.

[robbiestoupe]

We just watched Ratatouille last week with our kids. They wanted no part of it before we started watching, but after the credits they had all kinds of questions and comments. Great movie.

[Troy Loney]

If your making a best movies list, and put mulholland drive at 1.

Thats just signaling.

[count2infinity]

Of all the Pixar films that I've watched, I'm not sure I've ever been disappointed with one. There are ones like Soul and Turning Red that I watched once and that was enough. Don't need to see them again, but I wasn't disappointed or angry with them like some seemed to be.

Post 2010: Lightyear was good, Luca was great, Onward was surprisingly pretty decent, Coco was one of my absolute favorites, The Good Dinosaur is way underrated, Inside Out was phenomenal. They had some bangers in there. Of course if you go long enough, you'll have some duds.

[NTP66]

I just looked through the entire list of Pixar films, and there's not one single bad one. They range from good (Lightyear) to excellent (Toy Story).

[nocera]

Cars 3 is pretty ****.

[count2infinity]

Cars 3 is pretty ****.

"Of all the Pixar films that I've watched..."

Never watched list for me: Cars 2 & 3, Brave

Can't speak on those three.

I couldn't sleep, so I watched St. Elmos Fire for the first time last night. Seen most of the other Brat Pack movies, but never this one.

It was, strange?

I came close to doing this same thing. Ive never seen it either, but man that song

I don’t know if I can see rob lowe in any other way than his character from parks and rec

[eddy]

He was literally perfect in that role
