Because let's have this going on where y'all will actually see it.
Bonus points if your 101st is 101 Dalmatians. 1) Freaky Friday (2003) - A- 2) Enough - C. One of the worst beginnings of a movie that I've ever seen, but gradually improves. 3) Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone - B 4) Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets - B- 5) Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban - B+ 6) Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire - B 7) Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix - C+ 8) Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince - A- 9) Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 - A- 10) Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 - B+ 11) A Very Potter Musical - A- 12) Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them - B+ 13) Dinosaur - C. Not bad, just forgettable. 14) Beauty & the Beast (2017) - B+ 15) Silver Linings Playbook - A- 16) The Princess Bride - A+ 17) To All the Boys: Always and Forever - B. I'm about sick of romances wherein the central conflict can be resolved by a 5-minute conversation. Lana Condor is still cool, though. 18) Easy A - A 19) A Very Potter Sequel - A- 20) Howl's Moving Castle - A- 21) Doctor Zhivago - B+. The movie is too dang long, but the character development is really dang good. 22) Scott Pilgrim vs the World - A+ 23) Fantasia - A 24) A Simple Favor - A-. Ending gets a smidgen silly, but otherwise a very exciting mystery. 25) Step Up: Revolution - D. Outstanding dance routines, weak acting, openly insulting script. 26) Motocrossed - B. A little bit late-90s girl-power, a little bit Cyrano de Bergerac. 26) Monkey Business (1931) - A 27) Pitch Perfect - B+ 28) Raya & the Last Dragon - A-. I thought this was really clever storytelling & world/character building. Some of the tropes were familiar, but they were twisted quite interestingly. 29) Titanic - B-
30) Sonic the Hedgehog – B. Mostly enjoyable. Schwartz was miscast, but now we’re stuck with him for the sequel. Carrey crushed it. 31) Jojo Rabbit – A-. Absolutely brilliant. 32) Thunder Force – B. Surprisingly good character work. Slightly sloppy world-building.
33) My Cousin Vinny - A 34) Home Alone - B+ 35) The Orange Years: The Nickelodeon Story - B+. Good level of detail in the history of the network, but kinda just cuts off abruptly with Laybourne's departure. 36) Finding You - C. A pretty good story about a musician trying to start her career & a pretty good story about an actor trying to end his career stitched together with a pretty bad romance. 37) Alice in Wonderland (1951) - A-
And remember, “I’m-a Luigi, number one!”
38) Fantasia 2000 - A-. Bette Midler's segment is a mess, but otherwise this thing holds up as a worthy successor.
39) Eight Legged Freaks - B. David Arquette as a romantic hero is an inherently ludicrous idea, so the whole film leans into that, which is all the better.
40) The Help - A-
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
1) Redline - Anime movie that was a complete commercial failure, but the animation is really beautiful. Story is mostly just an excuse for a really destructive over-the-top anime race, but it's so over-the-top it'll probably stick with me for a while. 2) Pulgasari - A North Korean kaiju film in which the main actress and the director were both kidnapped from Hong Kong to produce it. Shin Sang-ok hid an anti-Communist message in it that Kim Jong-il took for an anti-Capitalist message, and for a kaiju film made in North Korea it's actually not bad at all, which was the biggest surprise. 3) Patlabor 2: The Movie - I've never watched the series, but that still didn't stop me from really enjoying this mech anime film. Less about mech battles and more about Japanese politics, which is from what I understand unusual for the series. It's heavily critical of America and the Japanese government. 4) Good Morning, Vietnam - I've seen this one before, but it was in like 2013. Rewatching it was fun, loved Robin Williams in this movie, and I caught a lot more and understood it better in the second watch. 5) Tampopo - Spaghetti western, except set in Japan, so it's more like a ramen western. Ramen is the centerpiece of the plot, but there's a lot of odd, meandering things happening on the side. Another film criticizing Japanese culture, particularly the eagerness to look good in front of foreign countries, with really funny situations. It was a really fun watch. 6) Labyrinth - This was just amazing. David Bowie? I think you mean the Jareth the Goblin King. Everything about this film was awful, I loved it. 7) Finding Jesus - It's always funny to find weird Christian knockoffs of popular Disney films. This one was mostly boring shots and reverse shots of long-winded conversations with no actual animations beyond an idle swimming. Nothing terribly offensive until they introduce Mr. Sushi.
41) Free Willy - B+
42) Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove - B-. Pretty toothless, bad CGI, & completely unconnected to the original.
43) The Thirteenth Year - C+. Fairly by-the-numbers mermaid-foundling tale.
44) A Very Murray Christmas - B+. Glad I watched it, but not aching to see it again.
45) The Secret Garden (2020) - B. Gorgeous design work, cinematography, & acting; very confusing geography & pacing.
46) A Very Potter Senior Year - A-
47) Pete's Dragon (1977) - B-
48) Raiders of the Lost Ark - A
49) Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom - B-
50) Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade - A-
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
