The Top 5 Game - Official Thread

[TJ Wells]

This is a long running game on a movie forum I go to, so I thought I'd give it a try here. Basically, you post a topic for a top 5, then the next poster gives their answers, followed by another top 5 topic. BE AS CREATIVE AS YOU WANT, and this can get pretty entertaining.

I'll start with a simple one to give an example:

Top 5 Films of 2008

(1) WALL-E
(2) Rachel Getting Married
(3) The Wrestler
(4) Slumdog Millionaire
(5) Synecdoche, New York

I hope this catches on.

Wow. I love how I spaced that after including two other Big Lebowski characters. Thanks for the catch.

Also, I legitimately thought of making it all Big Lebowski characters. I kind of wanted to included all three of the Nihilists in there, just because they entertain me so much.

I think I liked it so much because it's pretty much all about airships and adventuring, so it felt like a movie version of an SNES Final Fantasy game. Calling a movie that is pretty much the gold standard of movie compliments for me. I could definitely see calling it slow, but it hit my movie niche right in the perfect spot. Miyazaki rules at that.

I want Ponyo right now. It annoys me that we always have long waits on his movies, and I can't believe they don't even have a date set for the US release. It's playing in France while I'm there, but I don't think I could handle crossing two language barriers to watch it, no matter how excited I am for it.

5) Beethoven

(these are of course my personal picks, not really the "best" films that most critics would choose)

Top 5 kids movies that adults can enjoy just as much.

[WakingTheMisery]

I'm going to check some of these out now. I own Tenchi Forever but have never bothered to see it. I guess I should check out Tenchi Muyo in Love first. With the series, Tenchi Universe is my favorite, are the movies separate or canon with that saga? I hated Tenchi in Tokyo, by the way.

You don't need to watch them in any order. If you know the characters, watching the show over isn't necessary at all. Tenchi Forever was pretty good. It's really slow but the animation is entirely different from the rest of the series and it its great. In Love is really cool because you get to see a lot more of his history and a lot actually happens. I also hated Tenchi in Tokyo when I originally watched it but after getting the DVD's, it is now my favorite. Weird how that turned out.

TJ: Film noir is the greatest genre ever.

Hahah.

[Momo32T]

TJ: Film noir is the greatest genre ever.

Hahah.

Well, I guess that sums it up. I have taken 3 classes in school on film noir so I have an idea of what the list should be.

Forewarning: Chinatown is the most overrated pseudo-noir ever.

DISAGREE. And I've been posting my "favorites" instead of "best" on these top lists. I don't think the lists are a "should be."

Well of course "should be" is a personal opinion. And I think you're right to post favorites over the so called "best"...thats what I did for mine.

As for Chinatown, I don't think its a bad movie, I just think there are other noir films that are better. I do accept the fact that it is highly regarded by many people. I just think with the other noir films out there, this wouldn't make my top 5, but would be in the top 10.

Not sure I understand. They seem pretty clear. Unless you are referring to the time it takes to reply to something posted. I know in my case I had to look up the Criterions. I can't ever remember what's on their list.

[Bob Payne]

Not you, particularly. For example, just above you, a kid wrote down live action Disney movies, but that's clearly not what the category stipulates.

Hahaha... I laughed at that and just ignored it.

That was really hard, and I went with the movies that make me laugh the hardest and most consistently. Hard cuts were Dumb and Dumber and Mallrats. Also, while Rushmore, the Big Lebowski, and Swingers are considered comedies, I was going more with straight up movies that were intended to make people laugh.
