I like claws suggestion, hadn't heard of that method before. I'll start a reboot thread. The eternally changing #25/#24 problem turned out to be worse than I anticipated.

I really have no idea. Suicide is plausible. But a lot of powerful people wanted him dead and the camera outage and other irregularities are troubling. On the other hand, it's almost impossible to keep up a conspiracy like that when so many people would have to be involved. I think we'll never know for sure.

Quote from: FatFreddysCat on December 04, 2025, 09:37:55 PM"Wolfen" (1981)
A New York police detective (Albert Finney) assigned to a string of murders eventually learns that the suspects are a clan of shape shifters who can transform into wolves.
This stylish mix of police procedural and werewolf thriller makes the most of its New York locations (that early 80s South Bronx urban decay really shines through!) and it was also one of the first movies to use thermal imaging to show things from the wolf's eye view.

Always thought that was a very under appreciated movie.

He is a huge fan of Jennifer's Body (2009). Surprised it didn't make the list.

I will allow (at my own expense) that I don't object to JACKASS so much.  :lookingup:     The second one is better (or even magnificent) but the first one is also good.

I also like SCHOOL OF ROCK, o.g. CABIN FEVER, and LOST IN TRANSLATION, all of which could appear unsurprisingly on a best of the year list (though best of the century...  :question: ). However, let's acknowledge that these movies aren't on QT's list because they're better films than, say, MEMENTO or NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN or MULHOLLAND DRIVE or any great 21st century foreign film besides BATTLE ROYALE or [...]. They're on the list because Linklater and Roth are Tarantino's friends and he felt obligated to include them, and he has a long history of trying to get in Sophia Coppola's knickers. (Again, no slight towards Coppola - MARIE ANTOINETTE might be on my own Top 25 of the century.......)

Chances are slim that my new title will stay in the list, that's why I'm not adding new ones anymore.

For this kind of list, I think the classic version works best. Put up a list of 50 movies, add the number "10" behind each movie. Peopole than can upvote and downvote a movie one each per day. Upvote: +1 Downvote: -1

The movie that reaches 25 points will be added to a Top 25 list. The movie that is downvoted to "0" is kicked out the list.

KILL SWITCH (2008)

"Seagal's best movie in years" says the blurb on the dvd inlay

so of course it's no better or worse than any of his films from the preceding 5 years or so (and I have them all, so I can say that), and is definitely worse than any which precede that.

this one starts with a flashback sequence to a traumatic event in Stevie boy's childhood, when he and his brother are playing in the woods, and his brother goes to retreive a frisbee or something, and is killed... by... someone?

this event flashes back a few times throughout the movie, with increasing intensity, although what it has to do with the main plot I have no idea...

Seagal talks with a truly ridiculous regional twang of his own concoction in this one, which sounds half hillbilly redneck and half LA pimp...

fights is fought and heads is cracked and it's all okay in the end.
