Blu-Benny · 01-06-2010, 03:16 AM

some i found kinda cool.

Review of the Decade

Films of the Decade Broken Down by Year

10 Great Cameos

50 Great Movie Posters

10 Misleading Film Titles

10 Most Quoted Movie Lines

keep in mind, from the looks of it, these were voted on by the staff of the magazine so keep the bashing to a minimum.

Memento not in the top 10 of 2001? ouch.

the rest of the lists aren't bad though.

Sweet find OP

This was a fun read. Shockingly some people still do that "reading" thing you hear about all the time

jebhdb · 01-06-2010, 03:31 AM

Did I miss something or did they leave off all of the LOTR movies in the movies of the decade list?

I like a lot of odd films and can usually find something good in the sh*ttiest of films, but for whatever reason, every time I've watched Memento it feels like it takes about 5 days to sit through. No idea why, but I absolutely hate that movie haha.

Good...it was refreshing to finally see a list without walking trees.

Romulus · 01-06-2010, 06:28 AM

Star Wars in the Top 10...?

i can't believe none of them made the list!!

tiger roach · 01-06-2010, 02:19 PM

Some pretty weird choices on those lists, yup.

Also, Slumdog was 2008, wasn't it?

Evra · 01-06-2010, 02:30 PM

The posters list is garbage. And for Shaun of the Dead cameo, the one in Run Fat Boy Run is way funnier.

LOL--How true it is (until they go into the cheap jokes at the end of the list).

"Cinderella Man" thought it had such a paved road to the Oscars...

The Return of the King (2003) won no less than 11 oscars, including best movie and best director (in 2004).
Putting films such as Dodgeball and not at least LOTR:ROTK shows that those lists are a joke, and agreeing with it on this is not particularly intelligent imo.

Who was agreeing with the list? I just said it was refreshing to see a list that did not include LOTR (every list usually does)....btw ROTK was the weakest of the three IMHO.

blasphemy!!!!

if anything, FOTR is the weakest and that's only b/c it sets the other 2 up.

Your opinion on the movie, as much as I could disagree with it, is beside the point.
Leaving aside an 11 oscar winner and a film hailed across the globe as a masterpiece like ROTK (as well as the other two, but this one is the big winner) is a joke, that is all.

Yeah. Not to mention their "2000" list has about 8 movies that were released in 1999, so I have no idea how they did these lists.

casablanca3 · 01-07-2010, 06:22 PM

Yeah really, every year has movies that came out the previous year in it. Makes no sense.
