Absolutely stupid. They're supposed to be critics?
Donnie Darko - 21. Ridiculously high.
Casablanca - 46. Ridiculously low.
Oh, and number one and two? Drum roll please...
1. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
2. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Someone needs to be shot.

Class moment from the documentary of Two Towers:
Aragorn and the others happen upon the charred remains of the Uruk-hai. Jackson gets him to kick the helmet towards camera and scream in anguish. So Viggo does it a few times and each time he gets nearer the camera. Jackson thinks, 'He's getting nearer each time, I'll get him to do it one more time'. Viggo kicks it pretty much on target, lets out a heartfelt scream and falls to his knees in sadness. A class piece of acting. Later they discover that as Viggo kicks the helmet, he breaks two toes in the process, but carries on acting using the pain to fuel his scream. And thats the scene that gets in the movie!

Back on topic to the top 100! I thought it was alright but I also found it a touch commercial in places. I prefer Channel 4s poll to this. My girlie thinks that Star Wars is an overrated piece of poo, she prefers the Indy triology to it. I don't think I'll ever be able to get her into it.
Even my stories of when I met Darth Vader in Debenhams when I was about 4 don't seem to endear it to her. I was scared shatless of Vader, he was MASSIVE compared to wee ol' me. After leaving Debenhams, I asked my bro where he'd parked his tie fighter. He said that it was on the roof. I couldn't see it, but then again, I was very short at the time.

But Braindead was excellent, as was The Frighteners! He may not have had the best tools at the time, but there's no doubting he's a talented film-maker.

I really liked The Frighteners! It hit a certain chord with me....

He's just got a really vivid imagination in that crusty old noggin of his, and he knows how to portray that on film. That Kong film better be good though - the Jeff Goldblum version was on a while back, I nearly shat in my pants with laughter at the big ape/blatant monkey suit!

Well, I've read the script written before the LOTR gig, and its crap. Hopefully though, their experience on LOTR will have tempered them a little.

You mean when they returned and the hobbits of the shire were enslaved by wild men and they had to drive them out?
