Top 50 DVDs

Muftakkabe327 writes "TheForce.net points to UGO's Top 50 DVDs feature where Star Wars makes a healthy appearance at #11. Whether that's high enough to keep fans from rioting remains to be seen. Other nerd-friendly fare on the list include Evil Dead, Lord of the Rings, Ghostbusters, Akira, Dawn of the Dead, Freaks & Geeks and Led Zeppelin. "

Bias

[r_glen]

Is it really fair to rate Trilogy/Quadrilogy box-sets against single DVD's?

According to UGO, Men In Black is better than all three Star Wars movies combined? Really?

Re:Bias

[nightsweat]

Star Wars does not have Will Smith, therefore Star Wars must be inferior to Men in Black.

This is the "Principle of Jiggy-osity".

Star Wars: Old and busted
Men In Black: The new hotness

Boo

[loid_void]

Okay, it's call UnderGroundOnline, and they gave ghostbusters a slot at #10. Somethings wrong? Who you gonna call?

Thanks, that really clears things up!

Where's the pr0n?

[redonion]

It did not make the top 50? Not even one video?

How incredibly convenient!

[cbrichar]

Incredibly helpful that we're also given a one-sentence catch-phrase for each of the movies, explaining in detail why each deserves to be in the list.

"HellBoy - eh, why not?"

Pirates

[flossie]

I can't believe that the film about how bad pirates are didn't make it into the list. I see trailers for it on almost every DVD I've ever seen!

Re:Questionable?

[Anonymous Brave Guy]

So does that mean with #2 Alien Quadrilogy that Alien, Aliens, Alien3 and Alien Resurrection are all equally qualified to be the 2nd best DVD of all time?

No, just that Alien and Aliens were so good that they make up for having to have Alien3 and Alien: Resurrection in there as well... ;-)

Re:Goonies?

[John Hurliman]

I don't know, Goonies was good but where do you think it should have gone, top 10? I think top 20 is fair.

Everything. OK! I'll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog... When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out... But the worst thing I ever done - I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.

Re:lack of estrogen in that list

[Anita Coney]

Obviously they wanted only good movies in their top fifty.
