Ghostbusters | 1984 | 100 | 1 | - Hands-down, my favorite movie ever. | American Psycho | 2000 | 90 | 2 | - This movie made me fall in love with the written works of Bret Easton Ellis | Zombieland | 2009 | 80 | 3 | - An excellent comedic action movie with fun and inventive directorial choices (the "rules" showing up in the background constantly), a fantastic opening credits sequence (TIME MARCHES ON!!!), a great cast with great chemistry (so much so that Woody Harrelson is rumored to be disregarding his "no sequel" rule for a second one), the BEST UNADVERTISED CAMEO EVER (and I'm still pissed off that people spoil it as often as they do), and a great soundtrack (the theme for the movie, the one that plays during the final scenes at the amusement park and during the credits, is wonderful). My only gripes with it are its relative brevity (another 20 minutes of fun would have been adored by me), not explaining the "rules" of these zombies (some of them shuffle, most run, but headshots are never addressed), and a lack of constant flow or build. This stands as one of the best zombie movies ever made and certainly in the top 3 of those releases in the past decade. | Ghostbusters II | 1989 | 65 | 4 | - Nowhere near as great as the first one, largely due to an uninspired cast (well, everybody but Dan Aykroyd seems to just be doing it for the paycheck), but still a very, very solid movie. The jokes aren't as good and the threat isn't as big, but Vigo the Carpathian is still one of my favorite movie villains to date. |
