*OSM's TOP 45 Movies Contest - THE COUNTDOWN*

Majstor Matt

Well since nobody is comenting on #3 on its day and everyone are preocupied with everything else, I'll do it then, its my favourite movie after all

So, Im very glad that The Dark Knight got so far, even though if it was up to only me it would be even bit higer Fantastic movie that surpassed its superhero genre and made such impact that many are calling it as one of the modern classics. Simply phenomenal direction by Nolan, movie filled with nicely paced action scenes and brilliant acting done by one and only Heath Ledger as The Joker. Rest of the cast did well as well, but lets be realistic, it is obvious that ledger stole the show, even from Batman in many ways

Also, when it comes to this trilogy it must be said that every movie in it has brilliant ending that very well encompasses the whole story, and the ending of TDK is my fave 1.
"He's a Silent Guardian, a Watchfull Protector, a Dark Knight!"

Oh yeah, and I must not forget brilliant soundtracks as well. Basically this movie has everything for me

King Noel

@Majstor-Matt Heath Ledger performance was great so I don't mind it being in top 3.

Michal_ACM

@King-Noel That performance was one of the greatest movie creation ever! I don't really like a batman series but Ledger as a Joker... That was masterpiece

Majstor Matt

@Michal_ACM Yup, pure masterpiece. They say that he locked himself in hotel room for a whole month and was preparing the role of The Joker doing some crazy sh...

Michal_ACM

@Majstor-Matt Too bad he died so young... But this role made him immortal.

Majstor Matt

@Michal_ACM Yup, it was really a sad news: And a big loss for movie lovers. Surely this role made him immortal, but it wasnt his only good role. He was great as well in "Brokeback Mountain", did great job in "10 Things I Hate About You", "A Knight's Tale" as well... Then there are his roles in "Candy", " The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus".. he surelly knew how to pull of some decent acting performances in variety of genres.. I think there was so much more to come from him, but sadly...

I couldn't agree more with your post Michal. +1 from me too! :thumbsup_tone2:
The Batman movies are just over advertised , expensive yes, great action movies for the lovers of special effects too but not considered as unique in general. But with one exception , the movie TDK and Ledger's dialogues and his outstanding unbelievable performance was really unique and of top class ! :bow_tone1:
Such a shame indeed that we lost an actor as gifted as he was so soon, so unfair.

Michal_ACM

@SUPERNOVA-8 Yes, 2 others parts of Nolan's trilogy were not that good as TDK was. The reason is clear: No Joker - no party

Majstor Matt

Batman Begins was great as well. Its the creme de la creme when it comes to superhero genre. TDK Rises is second level of quality though, surely not as good as the first 2.

I'm happy to see American History X, Million dollar baby and The good the bad the ugly on top 45, but does anyone watch Red Dragon? i'ts really a good movie and Norton is great as well.

@Majstor-Matt P.S. Fun Fact: This movie would've been number one If I havent voted for the second part of the trilogy (Return of the King)... But since I was the first one to post my votes I did not want to change it so thats how it ended.

Maybe it would be fun to predict the number 1 movie?

My prediction is The Avengers.

@killing-spread_NL It can

SUPERNOVA 8

The Lord of the Rings deserves the 2nd place cause lets face it guys. It was such a popular , successful and top quality movie/trilogy. It had it all ! Action, special effects ,drama, romance and most of all Fantasy ! Plus those awesome pictures and music cover was a big plus for the LOTR. :bow_tone1:

But No1? Oh my gosh ! Could it be the Green Mile maybe guys? Or did I miss it ? Cause I know this movie managed to break even the toughest men into tears while watching it. Absolutely brilliant ! Such an original and emotional scenario and acting. :clap_tone2:

Matija , once again I gotta say it my friend : A big thank you for your unbelievable offer and effort and your fabulous presentation of your movie countdown topic. :clap_tone2:

This is it guys and girls, we have finally reached the pinacle of our list I hope you liked my organisation and evrything.

Have in mind that this is sports (football) game forum and that different people around the world have differenct expecttions from movies and different tastes so of course that list cannot be perfect to everyone, but all in all, considering everything, I'd say we came up with a decent looking list which has included many classic and memorable movies, alongside with some small suprprises
