    Gran Torino

    Skronger year than I'd expected. Dark Knight is teh tehts, best comic book ever, because it isn't really a comic book movie. Iron Man is maybe the best of the Marvel punch-press assembly line. The Wrestler is a great piece of hard-to-watch filmmaking, tremendous performance by Rourke. Gran Torino good. I like Slumdog too.

    Wall-E belongs on the pick list, imo. And what's been funnier than Tropic Thunder since? I'm sure there's been some, but I can't think of them.

    Good pull on Tropic Thunder!

    This got me thinking. Here's one list, of I'm sure many.

    Some really good movies chincluded that aren't comedies. Irregardless, what's better on that list than Tropic Thunder as a comedy?

    Kudos to them for shouting out Death of Stalin though. Completely different comedy than Tropic Thunder, but it is great.

    I personally think Gran Torino is the best, but I need to give some props to one of the most underrated comedies. This movie doesn't get enough credit.

    I never wanted Christian Bale and Clint to have to battle it out. Clint wins this one. It was close though.

    Gran Torino and the wrestler are better movies. But step brothers value of watching it over again and again and it never gets old is truly amazing in its own genre.
