Next Category: Top 5 Sci-Fi Movies

*threadjack* Is anyone else having issues with Netflix this week? They supposedly shipped a movie on the 11th, which I still haven't received. I got an from them stating that because of the hurricane, they was some delay in shipments. I found it a bit odd considering that my city is one of the shipping centers. */threadjack*

I'll add my favorites here, when I have a few minutes.

I haven't had any trouble with Netflix, but I usually have movies so long I wouldn't notice if there was a problem.

Top 5 Movies That Involve Jackie Chan

I don't even think I've seen five movies that involve Jackie Chan.

Top 5 Sci Fi
1. Equilibrium
2. Children of Men
3. V for Vendetta
4. Serenity
5. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
*extra credit* K-Pax
Five is really not enough.

*Minor threadjackery - I've put spoiler tags on the Surprise Ending lists. Pet peeve of mine but knowing something has a surprise ending automatically detracts from the power of that surprise for someone who hasn't seen it.

Case in point, I went to see The Sixth Sense before it went on general release. All I knew about it was that it had Bruce Willis in it and was a supernatural thriller.

My expectation was for Bruce to be fighting the devil while wearing a vest, eating a sandwich and making wise cracks when he killed a demon.

I personally think I enjoyed that movie a vast magnitude more than anyone who had been told "you have to see this, it has the most amazing twist at the end."

It does take a lot of the surprise out of it when you know something is coming. You just keep waiting for it. I agree.

I'm going to go ahead and get this one out of the way, since you murdered this thread with Jackie Chan.

1. Drunken Master
2. Shanghai Noon

5. Rumble in the Bronx

(My father actually met him, and sat down at a bar with him and had a nice little chat. He was trying to escape his fame, thankfully my father knew that and talked about anything but movies. Pretty neat stuff, this of course was 20 years ago.)
