I feel like everyone is a great value, and I'll probably feel that way the whole time.

Loving the gifs, but that thread is getting hard to load on my phone. Worth it.

I tend to agree, but that is just an opinion. That's why I thought it would make for good discussion.

He would face, and mostly better, one per game, but he wouldn't be a huge x-factor that other teams aren't used to seeing and practicing against all the time. Like I said, not a bad pick. I just wanted to discuss something interesting on the discussion board.

Except they forgot to add the style. I actually think the argument could be made that they erred in the other direction, which is very rare for a superhero.

Right, but you have to admit it would be harder for 7-footers in today's game, where there are more than just a couple of them. Not saying they wouldn't still be great enough to be drafted in this draft, just wondering if there level of play would still warrant as high a draft pick. Regardless, no issues with drafting the player with the most rings ever at number two.

One of my favorite shows. Actually, I have made it a point to bring up Schrempf's name in as many basketball conversations as possible for years and years now. Great name that I love to type and say. Therefore, no one was happier than I was when he made his cameos on that show.

It's interesting to wonder if all the players have to play by today's rules or each can play by the rules of their era. For example, Russell would be called for three seconds, both offense and defense, every possession today if he played the way he did in the 60s. Not to mention the fact that he'd be whistled for a foul every time he went up to block one of today's superstars, whether it was warranted or not.

Nearly two and a half hours and it still somehow felt rushed. That's a really bad sign. Hopefully they make a strong third film comeback like Iron Man or Mission: Impossible.

Pick seven, interesting. I'm not even gonna bother with strategy until I see what the early trends are. I really hope Detlef Schrempf is still there, though.

Why is Blade: Trinity?

For me, it's the dialogue, photography and editing that make it most memorable. The ridiculousness of it all, as well. One of the most quotable movies I've seen recently, and uncanny loyalty to the look and feel of the comics, as only Wright can do.

While on the topic of Edgar Wright, though I don't necessarily agree with this guy's high and mighty premise about what's right and wrong in filmmaking, this is nonetheless a good representation of how Wright differs from other comedy filmmakers: http://www.avclub.com/article/heres-appreciation-edgar-wrights-visual-comedy-cho-205123

Gotta put them on your short list, especially SOTD (all-time horror-comedy classic) and Scott Pilgrim, which literally starts high and gets better with every viewing.

If I went out for the first time in a year and shot that, I'd moonwalk home.

"You've never seen Bad Boys 2?!?!?" Edgar Wright movies are the best. Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim... Have you seen The World's End? Classic.

I am a huge Spider-Man fan and cheesy movie apologist, but this crap was terrible. In just under 2 1/2 hours they couldn't even find a way to wrap it up? I know there will be sequels, but that's no excuse to not finish a script. After what seemed like an endless setup, I need more payoff. Don't get me wrong, the final fight sequence with Electro and Harry was good, and ends with an unforeseen turn, but it wasn't enough. That whole first action sequence with Giamanti in the truck was pure cheese. They've turned Spidey into a walking punchline like Wolverine in X-Men 3 and Origins. This movie makes Michael Bay look like Martin Scorsese and Spider-Man 3 look like Citizen Kane. Thank goodness for Halle Berry's Catwoman movie or this might have been the worst superhero film ever made. Say what you will about Tobey, but man I wish Spidey still had Sam Raimi.

Solid additions. I pretty much flipped a coin between Good Will Hunting and Shawkshank on mine. I'll throw in a few wildcards: - Lucky Number Sleven - Brick - Apocalypto - Snatch

1. The Wizard of Oz 2. Inception 3. E.T. 4. The Terminator 5. Kill Bill Vol. 1 6. Terminator 2 7. Halloween 8. Superbad 9. The Shawshank Redemption 10. The Neverending Story I'm still a sucker for childhood favorites, as you can see. This list could change drastically hour-to-hour, but the top 6 is pretty firm.

That's the definition of trilogy. Should be taken as a whole. The Godfather films were made individually with no sequels planned for. It's the same with Star Wars. Those movies were made as one unit, and I think LOTR films were better than that. Very few movies made as a bunch all at the same time with plans to release in parts like LOTR. Different, yes, but I'm still confused by the "not exactly good" part.

Good enough to make the top ten of AFI's top 100 of all time and win a TON of Oscars (the third was actually Best Picture, if I remember correctly).

This is a solid list. I have Bourne higher on mine. I'd also add the first three Terminators (maybe number one, but let's call it 1A along with LOTR), the Three Mothers Trilogy (Argento's horror masterpieces), Romero's Dead trilogy (stopping at Day), and maybe Iron Man or Spider-Man (though Iron Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 are rather weak entries in each respective series). Also, someone also added Dollars and Evil Dead, and I love those, as well. Hard to limit to 10.

I haven't done that one, yet, but I guarantee that list would be much, much shorter.

I can't argue. All these lists are just opinions. If I was able to robotically turn off my bias completely and just do a list like this based on credentials alone, BWP makes the list. If I go completely the other direction and only choose my 100 favorite horror movies, disregarding their importance, then movies like Killer Klowns From Outer Space make it in over "more deserving" flicks.

So, if you want a straight answer, I didn't put it on my list because I don't like the movie. I know I put up the reasoning for why my list isn't all about personal preference, yada yada, but it was hard for me to include something I really disliked on the list (the closest I have to that was Friday the 13th, but we can all agree that is now too much of a classic to be ignored). I will admit struggling with the decision not to include it, and I have thought a lot more about it recently after reading more about The Blair Witch Project, and how it was more than just a film. There was a whole mythology invented prior to the actual film with websites and fan fiction all purposes to make the film feel more authentic. It also really boosted an entire sub-genre of horror movies (found-footage films). All-in-all, if I were to make the list again, this would be a struggle once more, and it might end up somewhere because of it's importance to the genre. This list is not anything I have set in stone. It's fluid. In the end, I left it off and included Paranormal Activity, which had a similar impact and style, and which I actually enjoyed. If I'm not mistaken, PA turned an even greater profit than did BWP, so they are very similar in that sense, too. I didn't feel so bad about leaving off Blair Witch because I included a film very much like it with similar impact, even though Blair Witch was more the pioneer.
