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

Frederik B, Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:10 (nine years ago) link

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

MaudAddam (cryptosicko), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:11 (nine years ago) link

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

SEEMS TO ME (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:12 (nine years ago) link

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

da croupier, Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:15 (nine years ago) link

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

MaudAddam (cryptosicko), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:16 (nine years ago) link

Scott Pilgrim = 3 people are trolling.

Everyone's a closet ned. (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:17 (nine years ago) link

Maybe Armond White has a secret account.

MaudAddam (cryptosicko), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:18 (nine years ago) link

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

SEEMS TO ME (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:19 (nine years ago) link

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

da croupier, Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:19 (nine years ago) link

not the thin man though, that's my shit

da croupier, Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:20 (nine years ago) link

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

Malibu Stasi (WilliamC), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:24 (nine years ago) link

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

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:27 (nine years ago) link

Is that any way to describe Katherine Heigl?

I Don't Wanna Ice Bucket With You (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:29 (nine years ago) link

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

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:35 (nine years ago) link

Rogen >>>>>>> Bracken

Number None, Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:38 (nine years ago) link

for shooting-range practice, maybe

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:39 (nine years ago) link

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.

difficult listening hour, Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:40 (nine years ago) link

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

difficult listening hour, Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:41 (nine years ago) link

Working Girl had 6 Oscar noms? lol 80s.

I Don't Wanna Ice Bucket With You (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:41 (nine years ago) link

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

SEEMS TO ME (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:42 (nine years ago) link

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

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.

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:46 (nine years ago) link

Harrison Ford could handle that

guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 28 August 2014 21:07 (nine years ago) link

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
