I actually did finish the saddest movie moments list, but couldn't post it for some reason. This list is going to take a while because it is by far the longest one I've ever done.
100.) South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut (1999) (Comments: Being a fan of South Park since the beginning, I was excited when this movie came out. Being 10 at the time, my only two options were either sneak in or wait for the VHS to come out. I chose option one and got caught. Luckily, my parents were the only cool parents and they had already let me watch the show.
99.) Rocky Balboa (2006) Comments: I love all the Rocky movies, but this one would probably be my least favorite for the simple reason that it's the last in the series. In my opinion, the series should continue until either Rocky or Sylvester Stallone die. It didn't really set anything up for a sequel, but if I remember correctly, neither did Rocky V. There should be a Rocky VII in which Rocky has a rematch with Mason "The Line" Dixon (his main opponent in Balboa).
98.) Batman Forever (1995) Comments: Even though Tim Burton was a much better director than Joel Schumacher, I will have to admit that I somewhat liked this movie. Jim Carrey basically steals the show as the Riddler, and Tommy Lee Jones makes a good Two-Face (although he pales in compairison to Aaron Eckhart in Dark Knight). Val Kilmer is okay as Batman, but is inferior to Michael Keaton.
97.) Hannibal (2001) Comments: This movie could also be called The Silence of the Lambs 2, because it is more of a direct sequel to Lambs than anything. It's not as good as Lambs, but it's still quite enjoyable. My one major complaint is the absence of Jodi Foster. Julianne Moore is an alright actress, but does not fill Jodi Foster's role as Clarice Starling well. The film's villain, Mason Verger, is also not quite as intimidating than Lambs' Buffalo Bill (I will say, however that he was played by Gary Oldman who always plays even the smallest character roles with great enthusiasm).
96.) Cars (2006) Comments: This is Disney's best film in a long time. Larry the Cable Guy (in a rare film role where he's a good actor) is hilarious as Mater the Tow Truck, and Owen Wilson is also good as Lightning McQueen the racecar. My one question is what the (expletive deleted) were they smoking when they came up with this? "Yeah, I'm so baked right now. Let's have a movie about cars going around doing people things. We'll call it...CARS!" But in all seriousness, the film was funny and good.
95.) Scary Movie (2000) Comments: This is one of the (Insert Genre) Movie films, such as Epic Movie, Date Movie, Superhero Movie and Disaster Movie. All of those were commercial and critical failures with the exceptions of the Scary Movie series and Superhero Movie. Scary Movie parodies the horror movies of the 90's such as Scream. It's funny until the very end. For example, there's one scene where a teacher is on the roof about to jump. The main characters are trying to figure out about the killer. One begins screaming "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??!!" over and over again, causing the teacher to jump.
94.) X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) Comments: This film is a prequel to the X-Men film trilogy. It goes back in time to show us how Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) became a superhero, how he got his metal claws, and partially answers many other unanswered questions. The film isn't perfect, but I will have to disagree with Roger Ebert's rating of two stars. Acording to him, Wolverine in nothing more than a story device for action sequences. I was disappointed with some of the casting, also. I was looking forward to Brian Cox to reprise his role as William Stryker, but alas, he was replaced (as was the guy who played Sabertooth in the first film). Despite the critics not liking it, a sequel will be made as well as a spinoff focusing on Deadpool.
93.) The Lion King 1 1/2 (2004) Comments: The Lion King 1 1/2 is a self-described "in-betweenquel", or as I like to call them, "midquels". It starts off with Timon (voiced by Nathan Lane) and Pumbaa (voiced by Ernie Sabella) watching the first film a la Mystery Science Theater 3000. It then proceeds to delve more into Timon and Pumbaa's pasts, including their time raising Simba. It's one of those films where its existance isn't exactly necessary, but it still makes for a good time.
92.) Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959) Comments: Plan 9 From Outer Space is a horrible movie. It is riddled with mistakes. My favorite thing about this movie is the Bela Lugosi double. For those of you who don't know the story, Bela Lugosi was supposed to be in this movie. Unfortunately, however, he died during production. Director Ed Wood's solution to this problem was to hire his wife's chiropractor to play the part. The chiropractor, Tom Mason, looked nothing like Lugosi. Because of this fact, he had to hold a cape in front of his face in all of his scenes. There's even one part where the cape starts to slip off Mason's shoulders and he has to stop to adjust it. This film makes the list not because it is the epitome of great films. On the contrary, it's one of those "so bad it's good" kind of films.
91.) Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995) Comments: I have to admit that I actually liked this film. Jim Carrey's performance as Ace is so overacted and over the top that it is funny. The sequel to Ace Ventura: Pet Detective follows said detective to Africa to locate a rare bat. I don't really have too much to say about it. It is by no means a great film, but it is sort of enjoyable.
90.) The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) Comments: This film is some of Tim Burton's finest work. The animation is good, the music is great and the plot is somewhat believable. It focuses on Jack Skellington, the king of Halloweentown, looking for something new because he has grown tired of scaring people. He stumbles onto a tree with a door on it and goes inside. It turns out that the door leads to Christmastown. Jack is intrigued by this new world and is determined to bring Christmas to Halloweentown, as well as to deliver the presents to give "Sandy Claws" a break. This film is perhaps my favorite Tim Burton movie.
89.) Toy Story 2 (1999) Comments: The sequel to the 1995 smash hit, Toy Story 2 has Sheriff Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) being stolen away by an evil nerd named Al McWhiggin. I call him a nerd because he devotes his life to collecting every last piece of Woody merchandise. The other toys, led by Buzz Lghtyear (Tim Allen), go on a mission to rescue him. Meanwhile, at Al's apartment, Woody meets Jessie (Joan Cusack, in a rare role that doesn't star her brother) Stinky Pete (Kelsey Grammer) and Bullseye the horse. Jessie, Pete and Bullseye were all characters on Woody's TV show, Woody's Roundup. I don't want to give anything else away, but I will tell you that it holds a rare 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
88.) Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999) Comments: Although this is probably my least favorite Star Wars film, Phantom Menace did have one thing. Darth Maul. He wasn't not as cool as Boba Fett, or as intimidating as Darth Vader, but he was still pretty awesome. What really ruined this film for me, though, was Jar Jar Binks. While I don't hate him as much as everyone else (not an exaggeration), I actually find him much more appealing than the Ewoks.
87.) Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (2005) Comments: This film was directed by Tim Burton, who also directed The Nightmare Before Christmas and Beetlejuice. It is a remake of 1971's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. I actually liked this film a lot, but I put it pretty low on the list, mainly because of Johnny Depp's portrayal of Mr. Wonka. Don't get me wrong, Johnny Depp is a good actor and it's very hard to see that it's the same guy who played Jack Sparrow. However, this version of Wonka is more cynical. Many of the rotten kids' fates seem to have been planned out (especially Veruca Salt's).
86.) Kindergarten Cop (1990) Comments: While not particularly popular with critics, Kindergarten Cop has one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's most memorable performances. It is the story of Detective John Kimble, a police officer going undercover as a kindergarten teacher to catch a drug dealer. This movie is especially popular among soundboard prank callers because they often use lines from the film on unsuspecting victims. The film itself is also pretty good.
85.) Clerks II (2006) Comments: Clerks II is the sequel to Kevin Smith's first ever film Clerks. This time around, Dante Hicks and Randal Graves (Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson, respectively) are working at Mooby's after Randal accidentally burns the Quick Stop down. Clerks II is, however, inferior to the original.
