It managed to be extremely popular, and make the average movie patron think at the same time. I think that it was important in that way, even if there are way better movies that are underlauded. Dark Knight and Memento also deserve to be on the list, but Dark Knight should not be as high as it is. It's just not top 10 material.

And, although I actually preferred the characters and story of Dark Knight Rises to its predecessors, I don't think it was the superior film, or as important in the grand scheme of things. Its being above American Beauty, Vertigo, Taxi Driver, A Clockwork Orange, and Amelie just doesn't sit right with me.
Amelie should probably be in the top 10 imo.

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013)

Wasn't my ideal choice for a movie, but I was outvoted, and one of my friends didn't want to see The Evil Dead. It was pretty pedestrian and I managed to figure out most of the jokes and plot points before they happened, but it was still entertaining in one of those mundane kind of way. Jim Carrey was pretty funny though, I have to admit.

Definitely. I watched it on a whim, and was completely awestruck. I spent months after recommending it to every single person I knew, if they so much as uttered the word, "movie."

"Movie?! Movie, eh?! Have you seen Amelie? Watch it. Right now."

Everyone says this but I completely disagree. The movie wasn't difficult to understand if you just pay attention to the dialogue, the characters literally spell everything out to you. I don't think I've ever seen a movie with that much exposition before.

All I had to do was type in Inception exposition on Youtube, and it comes up with a video that just shows Ariadne asking questions about the logic of Inception and the heist plan.

It's a good movie, but it really isn't that difficult to understand if you can pay attention. People just say it is because they've never watched a difficult film before.

No, it's really not difficult, but there's seriously more depth and thought than your run-of-the-mill high-grossing film. It requires attention be paid, whereas I could comfortably chat through and barely pay attention to just about any other high grossing film without losing or missing anything.

Alfred 04-07-2013 10:44 PM
I guess, but it didn't require a whole lot of mental involvement from me in terms of piecing the plot together. The only really confusing part was the very beginning, trying to figure out what's going on.

No, but I'm just saying. Your average movie-goer, who could be perfectly contented with "The Wedding Planner," "Avatar," "Titanic," - for them to actually pay money for and watch a film that actually asks them to pay attention is a feat.

One of my favorite films from 2012 even if it's not Wes Anderson's best movie.

Kudos for this splendid attempt! The book (by the same title) is indeed a daunting task to translate into another medium. Positively enchanting :)

Million Dollar Baby
DVD

Finally got around to giving this the watch that it deserved. Every time it was on I couldn't pay strict attention to it. Wonderful film. 2005 was a weird year for film where there were plenty of good films but nothing absolutely spectacular. This is a deserving Best Picture of that year that could have also gone to The Aviator or in my opinion Kill Bill Vol. II. The three leads were all deserving of their wins/nominations and in typical Eastwood fashion the film was heartfelt, sad, and powerful. That man is going to make me weep a man tear when he finally goes.

4/5
