  - Not reasonably, I'd think. There's gotta be a Miyazaki movie, too. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 11:27 2
    - Oh, these guys probably think Ratatouille is the best Pixar, like fools. I guess Ratatouille. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 11:28 1

  - I just cheated, what a stupid list. -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 3, 11:21 14

    - I think it's pretty solid, really. -- nm - Callisto Nov 3, 11:22 11

        i get that, but, no two people's would ever be the same. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:26
      - i just checked it out too - i like it. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:23 5
        
        They're fine movies, but this list is for hipsters and record store clerks -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 11:26 2
        
        *shrug*, i'm okay with that. what would be your top 10? -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:28
        
        High Fidelity! - musubi Nov 3, 11:28
        
        It's so close to my taste, I'll try to see the movies in the top 10 I haven't seen - Guigue Nov 3, 11:24 1
        
        i loved everything i've seen in their top 10, so.... -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:25
      - Royal Tenenbaums in the top 10 already makes it stupid -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 3, 11:23 2
        
        That would be my third fave of the 2000s, so obviously I think that makes it awesome. -- nm - Callisto Nov 3, 11:23 1
        
        It's really good. One of Gene Hackman's best performances. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 11:27

  - Juno being #14 made it lose credibility IMO along with it's other random choices -- nm - MDH Nov 3, 11:18 1
    - I was going to say Juno as a joke, dang. -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 3, 11:18

- They used to do this on survivor a lot -- nm - MDH Nov 3, 11:11 1

      - It's the "fair and balanced" that Fox pretends to be. She makes a cogent argument with real facts for where Fox gets in trouble. - TWuG Nov 3, 11:19 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        That's part of her point: The Obama admin doesn't work *with* Fox because they disagree with Fox. MSNBC *agrees* with the Admin. - TWuG Nov 3, 11:27 1
        
        Wow. So you're actually advocating that an administration treat the press differently based on what they write. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 11:29
