LMAO at Speed Racer.

That-Guy · 12-08-2008, 01:45 PM

Speed Racer?

SPEED RACER?!!!

Why Are You Crouching Spock? · 12-08-2008, 01:48 PM

There top 10 game list is just as bad.

Sawyer · 12-08-2008, 01:52 PM

Wall-E for #1? Go **** yourself, Time Magazine...

And congratulations... now that TDK is nowhere on that list, no one takes you seriously!

However, yay for Speed Racer!

Speed Racer gets some love

YES !

But yeah where's TDK

That-Guy · 12-08-2008, 01:56 PM

Wall-E is the most overrated movie since... well, the last Pixar film.

Seriously, their movies are good, but they could make a film about a magical turd swimming through the sewers of New York, trying to find his way back to his master and the critics would still praise it to high heaven.

BatSpider · 12-08-2008, 02:10 PM

WORST LIST EVER

Octoberist · 12-08-2008, 02:24 PM

If i remember correctly, Time didn't like Dark Knight.

CHEZ · 12-08-2008, 02:32 PM

Wow. That list is laughable.
Maybe 3 movies belong on that list, but Speed Racer?
Iron Man is worthy, but no Dark Knight?
It's safe to say that most of the country, if not the world (with the exception of Turkey LOL!) would completely and utterly disagree with them.

They've got to be kidding. OR they simply forgot.

Evelisse · 12-08-2008, 02:38 PM

must be some confusion, this must be High Times Magazine.

DorkyFresh · 12-08-2008, 02:40 PM

never heard of 2, 3, 4 or 10 and they don't have Dark Knight anywhere....so their list means squat to me.

The article I read gave it a very positive review, so I'm very confused it's not there

Octoberist · 12-08-2008, 02:59 PM

It's just a weird list in general. I mean, is Wall-E really better than Milk or Slumdog or Ben Button? But hey, who knows?

DorkyFresh · 12-08-2008, 03:01 PM

Wall-E is definitely up there as one of my fave flicks of this year even though i didn't see it in theaters. i would say it's definitely my top 10 of 2008 but i don't know about number 1.

Octoberist · 12-08-2008, 03:04 PM

same here. I've seen Slumdog, Wrestler, Dark Knight, and Synecdoche, New York so far. I don't know where to place Wall-E in my top ten.

I really felt that Wall-E was in the same league as Finding Nemo, maybe because of the director, where it TRIED to be heartfelt but it doesn't even touch Toy Story 2 or Monsters Inc. It's a great movie still.

Octoberist · 12-08-2008, 03:06 PM

BTW, I guess Time didn't like Doubt, Revoltionary Road, or The Reader :/

amazingfantasy15 · 12-08-2008, 03:08 PM

"Speed Racer is the future of movies", this statements completely invalidates the entire list.

xwolverine2 · 12-08-2008, 03:13 PM

speed racer rules...
haters

how could you possibly not like it!

i have not seen 70% of the films on that list so i cant judge.

Actually the films are all great except Spped Racer, but it misses some films and the order is weird.

Exactly. I swear to God, they can come up with anything, and the critics always seem to praise it. Your post made me laugh though.
