All these great films makes me sad I didn't vote. All the crappy ones makes me even sadder...

BOO @ Scott Pilgrim, the biggest asshole on this list (the movie *and* the character)

yay Working Girl

tbh I'm kinda impressed by the quality of films so far. Certainly a lot more taste represented here than my ballot lol

i liked a lot of the ensemble work in scott pilgrim but there's nothing romantic about "if you want to date me you have to fight my exes while i stand there" imo

The high school girlfriend in Scott Pilgrim gets treated worse than Ralph Bellamy in The Awful Truth and deserves it even less.

Scott Pilgrim = 3 people are trolling.

Maybe Armond White has a secret account.

I liked Scott Pilgrim when I saw it but I've pretty much forgotten everything about it except lol fighting

yeah not going to a "somebody's trolling" zone because there's plenty of other fucked up "romance" right next to it on the list

not the thin man though, that's my shit

I gave SP a vote for visual flair. But yeah, he's an asshole. People are assholes.

biggest asshole on this list (the movie *and* the character)

that's a pretty strange complaint since obviously Knocked Up will be in the top 20

Is that any way to describe Katherine Heigl?

knocked-up Betty Hutton >>>>>>> knocked-up Heigl

Rogen >>>>>>> Bracken

for shooting-range practice, maybe

of course scott pilgrim is an asshole.

forgot all about broadcast news, that's a pretty good movie. lol high fidelity, lol the working girl poster captioning sigourney with THE CAREER BITCH.

the high school girlfriend gets out of scott's orbit at the end and rightly tells him she's too cool for him.

Working Girl had 6 Oscar noms? lol 80s.

harrison ford is so forgettable in that movie, but Melanie Griffiths & Sigourney are awesome

also Joan Cusack is awesome and her hair is AMAZING

seriously, it's all about the women in this movie and they fucking KILL it

lol all you want

wish I'd nominated Pineapple Express now

Working Girl is yuppie horseshit

shush

Nora Charles: Pretty girl.
Nick Charles: Yes. She's a very nice type.
Nora Charles: You got types?
Nick Charles: Only you, darling. Lanky brunettes with wicked jaws.

Harrison Ford could handle that

Working Girl is a romcom if you imagine that the real love/hate is b/w Griffith and Weaver.

I love Roxanne but I didn't vote for it because I forgot all about it

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was better than I expected and it makes me want to go Hawaii but now all I can think of is Jason Segel flapping his junk around and I just can't

I have never seen Bull Durham

John Barrymore going "ting-a-ling-a-ling" at the beginning of TC still makes me laugh out loud

Holiday is the most special Grant-Hepburn movie.
