I mean I forgot to put it on my list. If that counts. Great little movie.

district 9 was a pretty wild fucking movie, if I made these kinds of lists it'd probably be in the top 10 just for the fucked up factor of the whole thing.
It almost made the top 10. I think it was hurt by the fact that Elysium was so unbelievably terrible. It made me rethink my District 9 love.

I have a ripped copy of Elysium that I've yet to watch. I look at the disk sometimes and then pick something else, usually a movie I've already seen

I've never seen Coraline or Rango. These lists are making me rethink that.

I like Burt's list the best. Mostly because it has Coraline.

I'm pretty shocked not to see Requiem for a Dream on more of these lists. Burstyn's performance may be my favorite performance ever.

I can't separate them. They are one equal entity in my mind. I can't watch one without the others.
