All these were amazing films. I left off Spidey 2 cause Toby ruined the suit for me back then. I hated him in the movie.

Spider-Man 2 was my favorite of that trilogy. Spider-Man 3, on the other hand... If that movie had been better written, more well received, etc., that would've led to Spider-Man 4, the then-planned Venom spin-off with Topher Grace, and the MCU would look a little different. Amazing how one movie can have such a chain reaction.

It's arguable though that if Spider-Man 3 didn't bomb, and Spider-Man 4 was made that we wouldn't have Spiderman in the MCU as Sony would have no incentive to lend him back to Marvel.

Interesting chain reactions indeed.

A bit surprised at how well Collateral is doing and Borat is not. I guess Borat is not a thing anymore?

I only voted for 2 films here. One is leading the group, and the other has barely any votes.

When I saw Borat, there were parts that had me rolling. Extremely funny. However, there were a number of skits that actually pissed me off. There's a fine line between comedy that's funny and comedy that's...unfair? Not sure how to describe it. No vote from me.

Vanilla Sky with only 3 votes? Clearly, we need to make a call to
