I'm only nuts for the top 5 and 6-8 could be in any order without much more than a shrug.
Up: I keep thinking about that bird and the ending and it keeps falling.
BB: You're right, I did - it should be my #10, replacing TOP123.
I don't think you'll like Precious as much as me.
finally, something sensible on Up.
Priest, I didn't know you hated old people, kids, dogs, balloons, adventure, and birds. Actually, Up is falling on my list, too, just not as quickly. The handling of the kid's parental situation and the old man becoming something of a surrogate father at the end completely works for me. As does the climactic action scene on the zeppelin. But I'll give you the bird and the walker and the tennis balls . . .
i didn't hate the movie. i thought it was good. i just think it gets the crazy love for the opening and the closing, which are both groundbreaking. but the whole actual movie centers around an unbelievably annoying bird.
