Which Film is Better?


Who We Are and What We Are Doing...

Two movie fans from Georgia give their opinions (usually opposite) on modern films. Sometimes these films will be popular popcorn films, some will be obscure arthouse films, and we are always open to suggestions for films to review.

Our Top Ten Animate Favorites

In honor of all the great animated films to be released in the last few years, we have compiled a list of our favorites. You may be surprised to see How to Train Your Dragon on all of our lists, but take it from us, this is truly a great animated film. I wouldn't at all be surprised to see it on our list of Top Ten Films of 2010 when this year is over.

The first list is from Becky and it shows that she has a varied taste in animated films, and it makes for a very eclectic list.

Becky's List

1. How to Train your Dragon
2. Up
3. Sleeping Beauty
4. Beauty and the Beast
5. Finding Nemo
6. The Little Mermaid
7. Thumbelina
8. Vampire Hunter D
9. Kung Fu Panda
10. A Christmas Carol (2009)

The next list is from our good friend Leila. She has compiled an excellent list and I was surprised - and delighted - to find movies like The Secret of Nimh and Fantasia. These often-overlooked gems don't make it on many lists of the greatest, and that is a bit of a shame.

Leila's List
I have to go with Bug's Life for my Number 1 for 2 main reasons: 1. Kevin Spacey is the voice of the villain (You really can't go wrong with that). And 2. It's the first animation movie that had a blooper reel in the closing credits. Not only was it brilliant, it was also just as funny as the movie itself.

1. A Bug's Life
2. Aladdin
3. Toy Story
4. The Little Mermaid
5. The Secret of Nimh
6. How to Train Your Dragon
7. Ratatouille
8. Lady and the Tramp
9. Shrek
10. Fantasia/Fantasia 2000 (okay, this one had to be a tie because I couldn't decide between the Sorcerer's Apprentice from the original and Rhapsody in Blue, the scene set in New York City from Fantasia 2000, so they both win.) :)

Scott's List

1. The Little Mermaid
2. Spirited Away
3. Up
4. Dumbo
5. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
6. Princess Mononoke
7. Finding Nemo
8. Coraline
9. How to Train Your Dragon
10. Kung Fu Panda
