Jingus Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 The American President is more comedic than West Wing (from what I've heard), which tends to be more serious. But it is a damn good movie, and just narrowly missed being on my ballot. Desperado is so good it would have made my ballot even without naked Selma Hayek. *adds to viewing queue* Not to be a creeper and all, but really if there's a shortlist of women it's worth going out of your way for this, she's got to be on it. That was actually her? From the camera angles and the fact that we never see her face and her boobs in the same frame, I'd always assumed it was a body double. But now I find an online interview where she talks about how much she hated doing the nude scene and how she cried beforehand, so I 'spose that is indeed her.

Brian Fowler Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I vaguely recall RR giving an interview talking about how nervous she was, and closing the set, and all that. Or maybe it's on the commentary track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 ASSIMILATE THIS KPOW That's what cinema is all about. Also, Black Robe is pretty good, in entirely different ways. It's been ages since I've seen it but I still didn't hesitate to have it on my final ballot. The 90's seem like sort of the only decade where Canadian cinema got its act together.

I think it's mostly me. I just never really think of Star Trek movies outside of Khan. And even though I looooved TNG, I was never big on the movies. For whatever reason, I didn't expect one of them to just show up as a Top 250 of an entire decade. It's just odd to me, but you're right, it's just as well as some of the other stuff so far.

Swift Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I purposely sorted my file by director and year so I would spot movies like this. I just have zero clue how I missed it. Anyway - the real 229 in a second I may be misreading this, but shouldn't this be #228? I mean if you took Drunken Master out and consolidated with the further up Drunken Master, then you've got a gap left at #229. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the two combined moved up the list and pushed everything else down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
