No. 89

Kapoor and Sons (2016)

Score - 58
No. Of Lists - 1
Average Rank - 22
Rotten Tomatoes - NA
Box Office - Who cares... crossed 100 crores maybe

Another Hindi film out of the way. Never saw this one. This is the fifth film from the 2010s and the first film from the most recent 2016. A little hint - there are a few more films from 2016. Guess how many and which ones.

Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone (2001)

Score - 60
No. Of Lists - 1
Average Rank - 21
Rotten Tomatoes - 80%
Box Office - 974.8 million USD

The third film from the Harry Potter series to appear yet and the second to appear in the top 100 is the one that introduced us to this beautiful magical world that than engulfed us oh so completely for the rest of our lives. Sad to see it depart so low when movies that dont deserve half of this make their marks at higher positions. Anyways, 4 more HP films to go. Lets see which ones those are. Also this is the 6th film from 2000s and the second from 2001 after Dil Chahta Hain.

Another Hindi film. 7th film from the 2000s. Chalo kum se kum ye film kuch hatke to thi.

You people are in for a treat now!! The next 5 films are all really really good. No Hindi one among them! An animated film, a sports film and even one Superhero film are coming!!

Any guesses?

Mon Apr 17, 2017 12:29 pm

No. 84

Watchmen (2009)

Score - 64
No. Of Lists - 1
Average Rank - 19
Rotten Tomatoes - 65%
Box Office - 185.3 million USD

A great, unusually dark and philosophical Superhero film that's hailed by many to be as far as the best superhero film ever. A little too Long and with a little too much flashbacks, this is nonetheless a revolutionary piece of its genre. And maybe the only good superhero film Zack Snyder ever gave us. All in all, a worthy inclusion to the list.

Mon Apr 17, 2017 12:42 pm

No. 83

Wall-E (2008)

Score - 64
No. Of Lists - 1
Average Rank - 19
Rotten Tomatoes - 96% (!!)
Box Office - 533.3 million USD

The second animated film on the list and arguably the best film on it yet. A 96% RT score speaks for itself. It was a beautiful film. The first half didnt have dialogue and was yet one of the most mesmerizing pieces of cinema ever. This film should have been higher.

This is also the second Pixar film on the list. So Pixar by Animated films ratio is still 2/2 or 100%. Which will be the first non animated film to make the list that's not Pixar's?

Mon Apr 17, 2017 12:51 pm

No. 82

District 9 (2009)

Score - 64
No. Of Lists - 1
Average Rank - 19
Rotten Tomatoes - 90% (!!)
Box Office - 210.8 million USD

Oh a unique film. This is a film that reverses the concept. Aliens are the prey and we are the predators. A good film and one that deserves its inclusion in a top 100 list.
This also marks the 10th film to be from the 2000s yet in the list. Considering that we are only 19 films up on the list....that clearly shows the skewing towards 2000s' films, at least among the bottom films. This is the second sci fi film, after Wall-E just before it.

Mon Apr 17, 2017 1:01 pm

No. 81

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

Score - 66
No. Of Lists - 1
Average Rank - 18
Rotten Tomatoes - 82% (!!)
Box Office - 879 million USD

Another film down from the Harry Potter series. This is the fourth film yet on the complete list while the third in the top 100. 3 more to go. At this rate....is any going to make it to the top 50?

The film itself is a good one. The Basilisk was a stuff of nightmares for many a children. Also another from the 2000s, total 11 now.

Mon Apr 17, 2017 1:13 pm

No. 80

Rocky Balboa (2006)

Score - 66
No. Of Lists - 1
Average Rank - 18
Rotten Tomatoes - 76%
Box Office - 155.7 million USD

The first film from the Rocky series makes its entry at the 80 mark. Of course there's atleast one more to come. But where? This is also the first Sports film yet on the list. Was alright but really didn't deserve this position, did it? Another film to thank Sankalp for. But eh, its alright. At least it's among the better rocky films.
