Best fight scenes: 1. Crouching Tiger - Jen vs. Shu Lien in the practice room using every weapon imaginable, including motherfuckin' hookswords. 2. Oldboy - The hallway fight with the hammer. 3. Yojimbo - Every time Sanjuro pulls his sword out and just ruthlessly kills 10 guys in 5 seconds. Lets you know that this ain't no swordplay movie, this is a samurai western. 4. Game of Death - Bruce Lee vs Kareem Abdul-Jabar. 5. Riki-Oh - HE FUCKING PUNCHES A DUDE'S HEAD IN HALF

Top 5 Scorcese: 1) Casino 2) Goodfellas 3) Taxi Driver 4) Gangs of New York 5) The Departed and Kundun (tie)
Worst Scorcese: 1-5) Shutter [shudder] Island
Top 5 Robots in Movies: 1) Johnny 5 2) WALL-E 3) robot bartender in The Fifth Element 4) The Iron Giant 5) the gunslinger from Westworld Robocop is technically a cyborg or he'd be number one. Honorable mention to HAL9000 although it's more of a sentient computer, right? Another honorable mention to the Good Robot Usses from Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey
Worst robots: 1) the stupid robot in Rocky IV 2) C-3PO 3) the R2 rip-off on Space Camp 4) the other robots in the first Short Circuit 5) General Grevious only because robots can't cough!

I believe General Grevious is technically a cyborg. He still has parts of an organic body, hence the cough.

He has a heart. It was crushed in the Clone Wars series. That's why he's coughing in the movie.
I would have put the terminators in the best list somewhere. They don't all look like Arnold.

That's lame, and I'll substitute him with every "droid" in the Star Wars universe except C-3PO is higher up.
Some of the terminators are cyborgs because they're encased in living tissue.
However, I could very well add T-1000 and TX for not even making sense. The robot that goes on the shooting rampage in T3 was bad ass though. T-1?
Also, fuck the congregation of robots making the face on the last Matrix.

I haven't seen Road To Perdition since it came out, I should watch it again.
My #1 is Saving Private Ryan. Does The Simpsons Movie count as a Tom Hanks movie? Haha. "Tousle my hair, Mr. Hanks!"

Top 10 Worst Comic/GN Movies (That I've actually seen): 1) Whiteout - To this day, the worst movie I've ever seen in the theater 2) Batman & Robin - Clueless meets a Busta Rhymes video in the worst possible way 3) Man-Thing - Damn you free rentals from Hollywood Video! 4) The Incredible Hulk (Eric Bana) - 1993 CGI for a movie from 2003. Cool. 5) Batman Forever - Had you guys even heard of Batman before making this? 6) The Punisher (Thomas Jane) - Awful. Miscast. Cliched. 7) Superman IV - 3rd sequel... 8) Jonah Hex - Megan Fox + Wild Wild West 9) Daredevil - Ben Affleck + playing a character not EXACTLY like Ben Affleck (aka Ben Affleck but blind was still too much for him) 10) TMNT III - Helped me transition from carefree childhood to bitter, cynical adulthood, so there's one positive Honorable mentions - Superman III, Howard the Duck (still holds nostalgia though!), Watchmen (sorry Nick, the movie totally turned me off from the graphic novels), Ghostrider
Those are only movies I've seen. Never seen Fantastic Four movies, Elektra, or Catwoman.

Howard the Duck (still holds nostalgia though!) This definitely fits in the "So bad it's good" category for me. Right up there with "Return of the Killer Tomatoes."

I'll be completely honest, it's not half as bad as people like to pretend it is. I mean, fuck, it's about as good as any other shitty movie from the 80s. Like, do people who write those lists ever watch John Hughes movies or anything involving John Cusack? It's part of the territory. Ridiculous concept + crazy hair + evil overlords + electricity SFX = 70.3% of all 80s movies. The comic book was dumb to begin with, though. Not a great movie, but my nostalgia still holds onto it. Without nostalgia, like every other horrible movie from the 80s, it would just be a horrible movie. I can't wait to see what my kids think of shit like that or even shit like Rocky IV.

Tom Hanks: Splash You've Got Mail Cast Away (come on Aaron! WILLLSOOONNNN) Big Road To Perdition I love Cast Away and You've Got Mail was neck-and-neck with The Terminal. They're all close. LEAVE ME BE! Nick, I said "live action" so if you were doing my list, Simpsons wouldn't have counted. We should do a "best cameos" list.

A best cameos list is a good idea. I'll have to think about that one.
Funniest deaths (in no particular order):
-Marvin in Pulp Fiction -The telegram girl (Jane Wiedlin) in Clue -Samuel L. Jackson in Deep Blue Sea -Bill Murray in Zombieland
I'm sure there's a bunch more that I'm forgetting.

2. Linus: Smash and grab job, huh? Rusty: Slightly more complicated than that. Linus: Well, yeah.
3. Danny: Which one is the amazing Yen? Rusty: He's the little Chinese guy.
Ocean's 13
1. Turk Malloy: Don't change the facial structure. Virgil Malloy: I'm making you taller. Don't you want to be taller? You're a midget in 34 states. Turk Malloy: Yeah, well, I'm an animal in the other 34. Virgil Malloy: [turns and stares at Turk] Turk Malloy: 24. 22.
2. Terry Benedict: You think this is funny? Danny Ocean: Well, Terry, it sure as shit ain't sad.
