I remember liking Stella Dallas.
I liked the ending.
The Avengers - 9/10 - This is the most fun I've had in theaters in ages. No ponderous bore like Nolan's Batman flicks, it's nonstop, unpretentious fun from beginning to end. This movie could have gone wrong in so many ways but Joss Whedon manages to get everything right. The heroes are balanced perfectly (even with tertiary characters like Black Widow and Nick Fury crammed in), the action scenes excellent, a lot of welcome humor too. The whole cast is good; Mark Ruffalo's arguably the standout, since his Bruce Banner is infinitely better than his predecessors. Harry Dean Stanton has a hilarious cameo. The rating may be hyperbolic but what the hell.
I see that The Avengers is one of 11 movies that are tied for 24-34th place on IMDB's all-time rankings, with an 8.6/10 rating http://www.imdb.com/chart/top(I will copy those 11 movies here; cuz the list may have changed by the time someone clicks on the link. The number at the end of each line is how many users have ranked the movie; for this greatest-of-all-time list, they only count votes from "regular voters," whatever that means).24. 8.6 The Silence of the Lambs (1991) 366,88825. 8.6 The Usual Suspects (1995) 365,23026. 8.6 The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) 477,61927. 8.6 Se7en (1995) 434,43628. 8.6 Forrest Gump (1994) 480,85029. 8.6 Psycho (1960) 199,90330. 8.6 It's a Wonderful Life (1946) 138,94431. 8.6 The Avengers (2012) 157,05232. 8.6 Leon: The Professional (1994) 316,01133. 8.6 Sunset Blvd. (1950) 74,50234. 8.6 Memento (2000) 401,743
I don't think they are tied. IMDb just doesn't show more than one decimal.
so you think that the order of this list is in the order of the ranking to the hundredth (or thousandth?) of a point, though they only show to the tenth of a point?That would be interesting, cuz I see no other reason for the order in which they list the movies that have the same rating. They are neither in alphabetical order, nor in chronological order, nor in order of the number of voters. So it would be interesting if the order is actually based on the rankings with further decimals.
Duh.
