 Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse  18. BambiBiggest tear jerker moment of all time? It's mine I do believe. This film is likley responsible (partly) for my hatred of hunting animals, unless it's for food. Food that's needed, as in you would literally die without it soon. _________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse  17. William Shakespeare's Romeo + JulietUsually modern adaptations and such don't go over well with me. Not always, but usually. But Romeo + Juliet is the biggest exception. Started my Leonardo Dicaprio crushing as well. Baz Luhrmann, with just two films, is one of my favorite directors. With this and Moulin Rouge!. Can't wait for Austrailia._________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater. For it is from our hearts they come, and to our hearts they shall return.”

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse  16. The Lion KingI feel like a broken record now. Great songs, especially Can You Feel The Love Tonight. The key tear jerker. Great villian. Sweet love tale, even if it's not as strong as most others. All the required ingrediants. _________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse  15. Hero (2002)My favorite Zhang Yimou film. _________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater. For it is from our hearts they come, and to our hearts they shall return.”

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse  14. Hairspray (2007)I had very high expectations here, and Hairspray exceeded them somehow. Love the entire soundtrack, including the collector editions bonus tracks. Super fun, and if this can get xiayun up shakin what his mamma gave him, or didn't..., then it's in the right._________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse  13. The Lord of the Rings: Return of the KingThe end to the most epic fantasy trilogy ever.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse  12. Beauty and the BeastThere's a reason it was nominated for Best Picture. But, it's still not my favorite Disney Classic.  _________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse  11. FantasiaOdd choice? Perhaps, it's not even an ACTUAL movie. But it's one of a kind, that will never be repeated. They tried to with Fantasia 2000, but it's not nearly as good, not even close really. The Night On Bald Mountain is my favorite number._________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse Before I begin the Top 10, My top 10 is not going to be popular (at least I highly doubt it). 7 of the 10 have something in common, very much in common so... So be prepared. 10. Sleepy HollowThe thing about Sleepy Hollow that I love the most is the atomsphere, the lighting, all the technical stuff. The blood is the biggest pleasure here, for me. It just looked so cool!

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse  9. Big FishYou know, it took two years after it was released for me to finally watch Big Fish. I was pretty much certain I'd love it. So much. Tim Burton? yups. Awesome score? yups. Unique totally awesome story? yups. Big Tear Jerker moment? yups. All sorts of yups! Quite the turn in setting, lighting, all the tech stuff, but it's a nice change once in awhile. _________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse  8. Edward ScissorhandsOne of the bigger favorites growing up. Sad, sweet, funny, a combination that works perfectly. Depp can truely play anything, and play it very well. I liked Winona Ryder alot, though she hasnt been active for so long I almost forget about her now. Was Mr. Deeds her last movie? It's too bad, she's a great actress. This film made me want to create the Land Before Time pals out of the hedges I never had.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse Very good movie. Alan Arkin was hilarious in the movie. Loved his straight faced responses in an insane situation.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse  7. TitanicReminds me of Jurassic Park. How? Because it seemed to take over everything around me. I was dragged to the movie theatre by probably every single family member, family friend, and strangers. I'm sure I saw it at least a dozen times. And I cried each time, in more than one scene. The one where Jack talks her into taking the boat, and she later jumps back on board. The scene with the old couple about to be taken by the water. The scene with the poor family where the mother is talking to her children one last time. When the woman with the baby asks the Captain where she should go, there are no more boats. ETC ETC ETC. Cry fest.  *waits for Titanic remake staring Zac Efron*_________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse  6. The Rocky Horror Picture ShowFor anyone who has not seen this, see it immediantly. Such a crazy fun film. Sexy  . Dammit Janet, it has great songs. It's a tragedy I haven't been to the showings that still go on. I bet that'd be such a blast, and could bump it into my Top 5 since I know the experience would be amazing.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse  5. Moulin Rouge!The second best blind purchase of all time. Absolutely adore the visuals. Great modernization... (sp?) of past chat toppers. And then there's Come What May, one of my favorite songs of all time. And the Come What May scene is splended. Fun, colorful characters, and the tear jerker is found at the end this time around. And if it wasn't for that scene, despite it being sad, I wouldn't like Moulin Rouge! nearly as much.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse  4. Pan's LabyrinthThe best blind purchase ever. The best movie of 2006 fails to get a Best Picture nomination, this will later be true once again.  The imagination is superbendous (yup, created that word). Visuals, story, open ending mostly, and the score is excellent, and I Haven't even listened to the soundtrack! Just what's in the film. Can't find the damn soundtrack anywhere. The second task I believe is my favorite scene, though there are so many.   _________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse Everything about Pan's Labyrinth is just gorgeous. The posters, the art direction/cinematography, the moving score. One of the best movies of 2006, I love it. Though I have listened to the score more than I have watched the movie. Wish the score was louder in the movie, and they cut out one of the best parts on the soundtrack in the movie Still, small complaint. Oh, and 6/7 of your top 10. I should have known Moulin Rouge damn it!! _________________Setting most people on fire is wrong.Proud Founder of the "Community of Squee."
