Your site needs some kind of rating system so people can see which lists are the best. Its a shame this site isnt very popular because it is really well put together. Anyway nice list.
why two towers and not return of the king? I'll admit the 5 endings of ROTK dragged the movie out 30 minutes too long, but the huge battle sequence at the end and mount doom scene made the TT battle scene seem like childs play. Although I'm a big fan of the ents in TT.
After all the hype, and having just read the graphic novel, Watchmen really let me down. Various key moments watered down and the ending totally sold out. I suggest reading it. Forget the movie.
I honestly don't have a great reason for it... I might actually add that but I was trying to avoid more than one album per band. That has been my favorite band for years now, but I didn't want to add "all Pumpkins", "all Nine Inch nails", etc.
Box office gross for Super Troopers was 18m and the ranked 111th for the year 2002. Average rating on IMDB was 6.8. Super troopers was clearly an 11, IMO.
One has to inclue SuperTroopers and Role Models. Role Models could be near the top of my list of any list containing underrated movies; feel good, non-political correct, funny, you name it. Super Troopers, only because it was really the only truly great Broken Lizard flick.
To me, you earn All-Star game starter by more than a good start to the season, otherwise second halves get discredited.
Ubaldo pitches like this through next All-Star game and I'd pick him. Anyhow, you know the real NL manager will pick Ubaldo...but that's the whole purpose of my list.
Lincecum was a tough call. But I'll take back to back Cy Youngs and a very good start over a guy having his first breakout campaign. Make me the GM and ask me who I'd rather sign to a long-term deal right now...
Sorry Ryan!!! I still don't get it!! I watched the video and kept waiting for it be cool and it just ended. :( I never just 'got' the movie. May have to rewatch with subtitles after these comments!! :)
Is Landshark pizza the same people who make Landshark beer? And is there a reason for only recommending "The Track" for kids 2-8...i'm much older and still like bumper boats and go carts?

TT seemed like the "slowest" of the three. I can't pinpoint it off the top of my head though...

+1 to super troopers and I'll throw Beerfest (another broken lizard gig). I just saw Hot Tub Time Machine, and it was pretty hilarious.

No way dumb and dumber*er is worse than being john malkovich. At least the latter had some imagination in the plot...d and der*er was just awful.
