    So happy to see Gone Baby Gone doing well. It has one of the more powerful final shots I've ever seen in a film.

    Most people didn't even catch what they were going for. I can't tell you how many people I talk to about the film that didn't understand the ending.

    Adaptation messed with my head and I was sober too I think. That movie is wild.

    Corpse Bride needs some more love.

    I loved LMS, and my wife hated it. I don't think it has aged well.

    In what way?

    The only thing that might hurt it are all the films that came out afterward and tried to be like it.

    This was a close one. A lot of films bunched up in the middle there.

    Surprised to see Syriana dropped in the first round; I thought this was a widely-respected (and, crucially, widely-seen) film.

    Same for Love Actually. But somehow The Simpsons Movie sneaked in.

    I'd never even heard of it.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    Where were you in 2005? I'm pretty sure it would've been illegal to be unaware of a movie with Clooney, Damon and Chris Cooper in it.

    Man, no Syriana. That's a shame. It's such a great movie.

    I honestly have no idea. I have absolutely no recollection of ever even seeing a trailer for it or hearing anyone talk about it at all. I thought the Ocean's trilogy were the only movies Clooney and Damon had ever starred together in.


    I see it was released in December of 2005. It's funny because I know I've seen other movies that were released that same month. But this one just completely flew under the radar for me.
