SteVo+ 3,702 Posted June 16, 2012 #36 The second installment of Peter Jackson's epic trilogy follows parallel stories as Frodo and Sam near Mordor with the ring while Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli must prepare for a battle at Helm's Deep. I don't want to say too much because (spoiler alert) at least one of the other Lord of the Rings movies is on this list. 50) George Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck 49) Greg Mottola's Superbad 48) Terry George's Hotel Rwanda 47) David O. Russell's The Fighter 46) Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon 45) Edward Zwick's Blood Diamond 44) Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins 43) Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder 42) James Mangold's Walk the Line 41) Christopher Nolan's The Prestige 40) Peter Jackson's King Kong 39) Nicholas Stoller's Forgetting Sarah Marshall 38) Judd Apatow's Knocked Up 37) Peter Berg's Friday Night Lights 36) Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted June 16, 2012 Considering all the comedies, I sure as hell hope Zack and Miri Make a Porno is on here somewhere. That's easily my favorite Seth Rogen flick. Top 1-3? I'm going to bet that There Will Be Blood is in there somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted June 16, 2012 King Kong is like the 3rd movie on this list i haven't seen. Surprised as hell you already have one of the Lord of the Rings up.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BradyFan81 404 Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Is American Psycho on the list? Probably one of my favorite movies of all time. Edited June 16, 2012 by BradyFan81 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JetsFan4Life 542 Posted June 16, 2012 Honestly, even in the realm of Apatow comedies, how do you have knocked up over superbad? Knocked up had a major problem of not being that funny. Knocked Up was hilarious... BUT I do agree I think Superbad should be ahead of Knocked Up. Both do deserve a place on this list. I like it so far, I mean obviously I haven't seen every movie on here but it seems like a good list. I too like Trident have not seen Batman Begins....at least not the whole thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zack_of_Steel+ 3,014 Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Not having 500 Days of Summer on the list is a travesty. Burn After Reading, Away We Go, Inglorious Basterds, 50-50, Cloverfield, District 9, and a few others are what I'll be looking for.

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted June 17, 2012 I'm far too intoxicated to put together a coherent paragraph about the next film on the list, so I'll give you guys 3 movies tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted June 17, 2012 #35 This is the first of several films on this list adept at "genre blending," referring to their mix of comedy and drama. In this case, 50/50 is quite an achievement because it's hard to make a comedy about a man with terminal cancer. But thanks to pitch perfect performances from Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen and a script that offers lots of genuine emotion, the film pulls it off. 50) George Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck 49) Greg Mottola's Superbad 48) Terry George's Hotel Rwanda 47) David O. Russell's The Fighter 46) Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon 45) Edward Zwick's Blood Diamond 44) Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins 43) Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder 42) James Mangold's Walk the Line 41) Christopher Nolan's The Prestige 40) Peter Jackson's King Kong 39) Nicholas Stoller's Forgetting Sarah Marshall 38) Judd Apatow's Knocked Up 37) Peter Berg's Friday Night Lights 36) Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 35) Jonathan Levine's 50/50 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Milla4Prez63 678 Posted June 17, 2012 you guys really have me wanting to see it now. lol. Why? Do you like bad movies or something? lol Btw, have any of you guys ever checked out Spill.com? I love the place for movie reviews, they are pretty funny. Plus, now I find myself rating movies with the same scale they use. From best to worst: -Better than sex -Full price -Matinee -Rental -Some 'Ol Bullshit -Fuck You Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted June 17, 2012 #34 Peter Jackson's trilogy came to an end in 2003 with The Return of the King, a fitting end to a fantastic series of films. It has a little bit of Return of the Jedi syndrome in that it is more of a conclusion than a story of its own, and it is rather long (you'll need bathroom breaks to make it through the director's cut), but the battle sequences are so epic and the character arcs come to such appropriate ends that we don't mind one bit. This is a satisfying end, sure to please film lovers and devout fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's novels. 50) George Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck 49) Greg Mottola's Superbad 48) Terry George's Hotel Rwanda 47) David O. Russell's The Fighter 46) Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon 45) Edward Zwick's Blood Diamond 44) Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins 43) Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder 42) James Mangold's Walk the Line 41) Christopher Nolan's The Prestige 40) Peter Jackson's King Kong 39) Nicholas Stoller's Forgetting Sarah Marshall 38) Judd Apatow's Knocked Up 37) Peter Berg's Friday Night Lights 36) Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 35) Jonathan Levine's 50/50 34) Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted June 18, 2012 #33 The next two films on the list finally show some love for the horror genre. Recounting events that took place in San Francisco over the course of 32 years, the film's greatest strength is that it maintains its tension and energy throughout its two-and-a-half-hour running time. By telling the infamous story of the Zodiac killer from various perspective except that of the killer himself, Zodiac captures the horror of those who lived through the serial killer's reign. This is a hell of an achievement for director David Fincher, and it won't be his last appearance on this list. 50) George Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck 49) Greg Mottola's Superbad 48) Terry George's Hotel Rwanda 47) David O. Russell's The Fighter 46) Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon 45) Edward Zwick's Blood Diamond 44) Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins 43) Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder 42) James Mangold's Walk the Line 41) Christopher Nolan's The Prestige 40) Peter Jackson's King Kong 39) Nicholas Stoller's Forgetting Sarah Marshall 38) Judd Apatow's Knocked Up 37) Peter Berg's Friday Night Lights 36) Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 35) Jonathan Levine's 50/50 34) Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 33) David Fincher's Zodiac Coming Up: Another suspense/horror film takes the next spot, followed by two fan favorites to round out the 30's. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
