My answer to this question is no. I get that this movie has a lot of greatness by being the "first" but I can pick a handful of Disney movies from the same era that are better/more enjoyable.

I hadn't seen this since the theatrical re-release in 1987 and I get the reason why it's on the list. It's the first and a huge step forward from what animation was doing even in 1936. I'm not super into the movie. I like the first 40 minutes or so but I find the stuff with the dwarves not as interesting. The songs are good but ehhh, I don't really care about what's going on.

I watched the first four this month and at the start of every one, I thought "Did I accidentally start the wrong one?" They all start so confusingly different from the previous that it was plausible. I don't know if this is how the books are of they just assume the audience has read the whole series. So, I'm not saying you should skip the movies, but I really don't think it hurts much if you don't watch them all.

Aww shucks! I'm going to have to say the 12th since I can't do it on the 5th.

I like the song too but it was too much at that moment for me. I like that (I think) every song was a female lead group except for Come As You Are.

Would it have been more or less on the nose than playing "Just A Girl" during her big fight? Because that felt way over the top to me.

For sure this. I felt like Captain Marvel actually talked about being a strong female presence and how that affects future generations of young girls. And she did so as a regular person without superpowers. Her biggest hindrance were guys telling her to be less emotional and literally stopping her from using her inate abilities.

Also, how did they nail young Fury but young agent Coulson looked weird as hell?

So, I just saw this and feel like her final line to Jude Law was off. He's saying "here's your chance to beat me as you are" or something similar. She responds with "I don't need to prove myself to you" I thought it would work better just saying something like "this is who I am" The whole movie is her being lied to that they created her when they were restricting her powers. I think it makes a little bit of a stronger statement to be herself instead of holding back. She does that by blasting him but her actually saying it proves it wasn't just an emotional reaction; it was a conscious decision. Also, cats are the best.

Dream A Little Dream 2 covers the Coreys and body switching. The first one is old man and child but the second one is way worse.

I always offset borrowing particularly bad movies by getting something good. I have a reputation to uphold.

I've definitely read theories that Romeo and Juliet was meant to be one of Shakespeare's comedies. I don't know that I'd go that far, but it could be played as one without much changing it as I recall.

Rockula is definitely in my top 5. My number 1 is No Retreat, No Surrender. I waver on Heartbeeps. It definitely is terrible enough and would be a good episode but watching it is awful. So awful it made me kind of physically uncomfortable watching it.

To an extent, I like the idea that tentpole or blockbusters are coming out in wider timeframes throughout the year. I am kind of against movie seasons outside of things like Christmas movies at Christmas or scary movies at Halloween or whatever. Marvel movies, Jordan Peele movies, 50 Shades movies, etc. keep proving that people will see a movie any month of the year. Studios are finally unlearning the lesson they learned from Jaws. As a former theater employee, it's probably just easier on everyone's lives to not have a weekend or month where you get killed because multiple blockbusters came out one Friday then have February through April and late August through early October be dead.

Roald Dahl? I don't think You Only Live Twice is a musical but I'll watch it again.

One movie I'm mildly surprised didn't make the list is Spinal Tap. I know you're limited to 10 and the list is filled with critically loved, audience loved classics. This Is Spinal Tap is adored and maybe more influential to modern comedy than quite a few of those. It didn't create the mockumentary but I'd say it popularized it. It was so big that almost every moderately successful mockumentary for decades was about a musical group or a Christopher Guest movie. I definitely don't think we have The Office, Parks And Recreation, Arrested Development without it. I'd definitely kick MASH off the list for it. Partly because I hate that movie but also because it's bigger influence was as a show in my mind.

Agree 100%. Blazing Saddles is a movie I like a lot more on paper than I like as a movie. Young Frankenstein just makes me laugh like crazy. I'd also be fine with Airplane being on the list.

That's what I was thinking after a quick look. I'd put After Life and Run Lola Run with what Almostaghost said. Then Saving Private Ryan and Thin Red Line would still be in my top 10. At the very least, Shakespeare In Love (and definitely not Life Is Beautiful) would not be.

I'm with Erin. I think Michael Fassbender was Oleg's father. Also, thank god they addressed that part of the movie was 7 years earlier. I missed that and halfway through, one of my notes was "it's this movie not in chronological order?"

I definitely did not get this joke. So, I appreciate this explanation. If we limit ourselves to one Marx Brothers movie, I'd push for Duck Soup no question. I think it's a more pure look at what they did best that no one else can quite do. No one else does that insanity. A Night At The Opera is maybe more influential but I think at the expense of feeling a bit more watered down for lack of a better phrase. This is still good but more "conventional" to me.

I don't think any of those had a remote chance of ever getting nominated for Best Picture but they are certainly worthy of consideration.

This is discussed in the next episode for A Night At The Opera, but Amy mentions the conventional wisdom of "the wrong movie won" might be wrong because of Saving Private Ryan's faults. Does anyone think the right movie won? Of the nominated movies, I'd still put Saving Private Ryan as the best. Is there some other 1998 movie that didn't get nominated and should have won?

As the minisode said, libraries. There is the drawback of the librarian silently judging you but it's slightly better than paying to rent them.

I'd chalk it up to improv or lazy writing not nailing down his age.

Two years ago, we had Dunkirk and Darkest Hour. It's not three movies but it's two WWII movies covering (in part) Dunkirk.
