Bad luck Twisted Mango, with Tom Hatori's late vote there I think Cloverfield has moved up to number 2.
Shocked reactions aside, people are meant to be doing a couple of lines on why they liked their picks in the final ten. So far the only line for Quantum Of Solace from the community is "There is no God."

Are we allowed to critique the ones that undermine our belief in a higher power?

Zach and Miri was awesome because I believe we needed some new Kevin Smith material, and he gave us our filling with the porno flick! I liked Pineapple Express alot because I really like James Franco and Seth Rogen, a story about to stoners running around traying to be killed and having machine guns is awesome! Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg can mastermind a sreenplay, as proven with Superbad and once again Pineapple Express. Quantam of Solace was such a good sequel to Casino Royal, he is a badass James Bond, my personal favorite. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was so funny, Jason Segal proved to us that not only can he act, he can write too! The Strangers was so good and i cant wait for the sequel! Iron Man was one of the best Marvel films yet! Downey Jr. di d an amazing job! The Dark Knight defintley deserves to be at #1!!! Not because of the Heath Ledger hype, because of the amazing jobs by the actors and the brilliant screenplay and directing! |

Okay, in no discernible order here are my top 10 pix:
THE DARK KNIGHT
IRONMAN
TRICK OR TREAT (SPECIAL SCREENING)
WALL-E
TROPIC THUNDER
WANTED
PINEAPPLE EXPRESS
MOGROL
THE BANK JOB
STREET KINGS*
* Feel free to starting busting my balls on this one but I stand by my decision -- Great cast (Yes, even Keanu, who I don't seem to hate as much as the rest of the world), coldhearted action, nihilistic attitude and partially based on a script by James Ellroy. So there.

Angel, I completely agree. I saw Street Kings this week and loved it. It got terrible reviews and it really didn't deserve them. Sure, it's no LA Confidential, but it's a lot of fun. I've realised I keep underestimating Keanu. He was great in this.

Street Kings, really? I'll check it out. I'm more of a Keanu fan every day.

Yeah I heard that Street Kings was badass!!! David Ayer is a badass, anything he touches is good. for example, Training Day (writer) Harsh Times (writer and director). The Fast and the Furious (writer). I belive that his movie Harsh Times was under rated, has anyone seen it? its good!!!! Harsh Times..  tell me what you think? -T.ROSS PRODUCTIONS |

Watch the pencil scene in The Dark Knight, and you'll understand why that film deserves to be at the number one spot!

Harsh Times suffered froma horrible title, title font, and promotion. It wasn't a badass gangsta flick.
I was dubious of that film for the first half hour cause I didn't know how to place it, but it blew me away. Lots of folks hate it, but I thought the script and acting were fabulous. Much better than training day or Furious in my opinion.

Guys, thanks for the support on STREET KINGS. Thought I was going crazy for a minute there when I walked out of the theatre saying "That was pretty frickin' cool!"
Keanu definitely gets alot of shit. I think this whole "Whoa"-dude crap has played itself out (Now just tell that to pretty much every film critic in the film biz). He may not be able to be convincing in period pieces but he's done some solid work, two cases in point being CONSTANTINE and THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE.
HARSH TIMES is another very cool flick that slipped between the cracks. (Is it just me becoming an old man these days or does it seem like alot of great movies are given a mandatory one-week wide release and then banished to DVD while inferior, mindless stuff are taking up ten to fifteen screens at one cineplex?) Who knew Christian Bale could be MORE intense than as Batman ::fearful shudder::
