Great piece, and agree that Spider-Man 2 is the best superhero movie ever made. There’s so much humanity in it that watching it in contrast to some of the MCU movies feels like they were made on different planets.

Would not disagree with this. The Temple score absolutely rules.

100 percent agreed. As perfect a piece of movie music as there ever was.

Yoda’s Theme is a Top 5 Williams piece IMO. Dare I say I like it more than the Imperial March.

Was just going to chime in to say the same thing. I can’t think of a more perfect theme for not just the Superman character, but everything he represents. A note-perfect piece of movie music.

Yep. Definitely the best of the Williams contributions, for sure.

Good ranking. I doubt anything will ever top Up for me at #1 - it’s still far and away their best and most emotionally resonant film for me - but I can’t quibble with much of this otherwise (though I’d put Coco in the Top 5).

I was born this way (straight). You were born your way (gay). Gay or straight, straight or gay it’s all okay.

I don’t know about this. The best you can say about Angel, I think, is that it got better every season and that its final season can sit alongside Buffy’s best seasons, but IMO it never topped them. But yes - the finale is infinitely better and absolutely one of the best series finales ever (especially considering…

This is basically it. As a show Buffy had the benefit of being first, and its best seasons are probably better than Angel’s best seasons (I mean - maybe), but Angel stuck its landing in a way Buffy simply didn’t.

LOVE Disintegration (song)

My main takeaway from this list is that the Cure are an incredible band. There’s probably 100 songs that didn’t make the list that I’d probably put in place of a lot of what’s on there, but I also can’t argue with what did make the list and that speaks to the incredible depth and breadth of their catalogue. I do like…

Totally. We are so short on quality character actors, I feel like we need to protect guys like Root and Gary Cole as long as we possibly can.

Absolutely one of the greatest actors who’s ever lived. That’s not hyperbole. The man is in everything, and yet every time he shows up in something he’s a goddamned delight. No joke, he should get a lifetime achievement award at the Oscars as soon as possible. How do we make this happen?

I don’t know about “deserve,” but agree that SMB was completely fine. My kids had a blast. Good enough for me.

This was my reaction: I mostly had a good time and my kids thought it was the greatest movie they’d ever seen. So, a success I’d say.

So you’re saying Hader is doing all this...just so he can win an Emmy? Am I reading that right?

Well this sounds just about awful.

How Green is one of the best BP winners ever. Full stop.

I’ll go one further - How Green is a masterpiece and one of the best movies ever to win the Best Picture Oscar (the fact that it beat Kane is beside the point).
