I almost forgot about unknown (Yoko)/Love Exposure 😍

Terminator 4 Knowing 🙈is
Knowing (just hype, honestly a total disasterit'sreally bad)
Cloverfield (same deal as Knowing)

might add more if I remember... 🙂

Who would’ve thought we’d actually reach the day where driftingeagle27 and I end up liking the exact same movie... 🤔 😬
I won't drone on too long, just wanted to mention that Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is easily one of my favorites from this year. It was super fun 🙂 and definitely "something else" 😍
Val Kilmer 👍 really made his mark here, though I guess it's rare for any actor to hold their own against someone as charismatic as Nicolas Cage... 😍

here's also the second one for Emmerich:

I'm a huge fan of parodies, so I guess that's why I voted for about half this list. 🤣
Personally, nothing beats the Monty Python fans, obviously. 😍

Monty Python's Silly Olympics 😂

I think you limited that poll way too much. I don't see why a woman who can actually fly in her movie would be any less iconic than someone who is just a detective or drives a bus. Maybe Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz should have been mentioned, though she probably doesn't fit here either, despite being a cult icon... 😉

And what about this gorgeous lady?

Dawn of the Dead (1978), of course 😍

scene from the movie unknown 😍

Just watched this, so I figured I’d leave a quick comment...
It’s a fun, original, unconventional, and slightly melancholic feel-good romantic comedy. Nothing revolutionary about it, I guess, but I liked it because there's enough freshness and decent humor to make it work. Zooey is adorable, and Gordon-Levitt (who was great in Mysterious Skin and Brick) is his usual fantastic self. The soundtrack is actually really solid. 8.1/10

TRAILER

Some reviews:
"a real movie. That means carefully written dialogue and carefully placed supporting performances — and it's about something. It could have easily been a formula film...but George Simmons learns and changes during his ordeal, and we empathize." Roger Ebert

"Apatow scores by crafting the film equivalent of a stand-up routine that encompasses the joy, pain, anger, loneliness and aching doubt that go into making an audience laugh." Peter Travers of Rolling Stone

"one of the most absorbing films of the year." Kyle Smith of The New York Post

My take:
I guess it's enough to say—it's the latest from Judd Apatow, and we all know Judd. At the center is the famous comedian/actor George Simmons (Adam Sandler) who, after getting diagnosed with a terminal illness, decides to shake things up in his messy life. Along the way to finding himself, he gets help from a young, green comic (Seth Rogen)... some people complained about the heavy drama and how it lacked that typical "Apatow" vibe, but I actually liked that more. The second half felt a bit off-beat, but overall it’s great. You can also spot plenty of cameos, including Eminem and Ray Romano... definitely watch the longer unrated version! 7.9/10

Ira Wright: Okay. I have a theory that Tom Cruise, David Beckham and will Smith have mooshed the heads of their penises together. I think that this has happened. I don't think it happened in a gay way. I think it just happened out of boredom. I think just rich-dude boredom. Just like, "What have we not done, guys? We've done everything!" " I'll tell you one thing we haven't done. " And I bet when it happened, it was an epic occurrence. It was huge. 🤣

I voted for the third guy.. 😍

here's a few more ... 😬

Woody Harrelson in 🤣Zombieland
(you can spot him at the end of this trailer)

Anthony Smith3 said:It's about the movie "Harry Brown," starring the legend Michael Caine as an old man who, after some local thugs kill his best friend, decides to take the law into his own hands, leaving nothing behind but bodies and fires.

this sounds just like Red (except that friend is a d-o-g) 😬

Donna Gray4 said:It looks like Pearl Harbor is going to snatch the win for best war movie 🤣

First off, I definitely agree that some absolute classics were left out, but how on earth is it possible that Pearl Harbor is pulling the most votes when there are so many heavy hitters on this list? I mean, we have Platoon—which is easily the best war movie in my book—and a whole bunch of other masterpieces, so seeing this result is just plain ridiculous.

Maybe people were just annoyed by the poll and voted for the absolute worst one... 🤣

David Price5 said:It looks like a lot of you really can't stand Uwe Boll. I'm curious, how many of his movies has everyone here actually sat through?

So, I guess you're trying to defend him? 🤣
(honestly, it feels like we're just supposed to trash him for the sake of it)

Dennis Doyle3 said:Where are they? Apocalypse Now, Cross of Iron, Full Metal Jacket, Paths of Glory, Brotherhood of War.....? Every single one of those is five times better than Pearl Harbor, Defiant, or even Tears of the Sun?

briskhound2 said:Tsk, tsk, tsk... wait, where are The Guns of Navarone?

Look, I’m just throwing my vote in for Where Eagles Dare—it’s an absolute war classic, and honestly, most of these newer flicks can barely touch it. And, just to keep this debate short, let's not even get started on Das Boot, U-571, The Heroes of Telemachus, or, if we're feeling generous, The Wild Geese. These modern war movies, like Pearl Harbor, just don't have that certain chemistry you need for a rewatch...

This poll is pretty bad, man... 👎
There are at least 30 titles missing here... 😉
