The Classics, now in list form

Top 100We all like movies, right? I know I do. If you want to see the best movies, there are two lists that you need to know. The first is a little more common knowledge than the second. It’s the IMDb Top 250 list, as voted on by the users of IMDb.com. You can find it here. This is pretty much a popularity contest for movies, but it’s still a terrific list, with great movies like The Godfather, Pulp Fiction, and Casablanca in the top 10. However, great older movies are getting bumped off by more recent fare that may not deserve to be there, like V For Vendetta.

The second list is located at theyshootpictures.com. It’s their list of the 1,000 greatest films of all time, and can be found here. Unlike the IMDb list, this list is formulated with the compiled votes of “1,604 critics, filmmakers, reviewers, scholars and other likely film types.” It’s basically the 1,000 best films according to critics and the like. It’s a great list, with movies like Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane and Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo topping the list. It has more older movies and classics on the list, because these have stood the test of time and have accumulated critical acclaim over the years. With these two lists, you’re set to see the greatest movies of all time.

And for those of you who may not like old movies (someday they’ll learn), theyshootpictures.com has you covered with their 21st Century list.

They Aren’t Dolls!

Master Chief Many of you know me as quite an avid Halo fan. I’ve beaten every game twice-over in Legendary (I wish that were a joke) and I know more than half of the lines for all three. Now, in today’s world action figures exist for anything that has graced the television screen. Hell, I found a Big Lebowski action figure set. And of course, there has always been Halo action figures. You could probably buy a Porsche with the money it would cost to purchase every set. But, I digress. I have never thought about purchasing a Halo figurine, despite my fandom, up until this new Halo 3 set. I don’t know if you’ve seen these, but hot damn. They’re quite remarkably detailed for the price of about $15. And who can say no to my personal favorite: the steel C.Q.B. Spartan. I don’t know about stability or usability, but I might seriously get one of these.

What do you guys think?
