List Mania

It's that time again – the time of year when entertainment magazines and websites offer up their various lists for the past 365 days. Of course, like all lists--they are very subjective--depending on who has compiled the list.

Below you'll find a diverse collection of lists-for all things movie-land and the stars that can make or break the industry.

First up is my favorite list from this list of lists...via Film Threat.Com:




Here at Film Threat, we have an annual list of our own, The Frigid 50: The Coldest People in Hollywood. Unlike those other lists aimed at browning the most nose, the Frigid 50 is a written declaration of who or what in Hollywood needs a reality check, detailing the least-powerful, least-inspiring, least-intriguing people in all of Tinseltown. Before celebrities fall off the face of the Earth, they get one warning, and the Frigid 50 is it.

The Frigid 50 Is Here...

Dark Horizons offers their opinion of both The BEST Films Of 2006 and The WORST Films Of 2006...

Premiere Magazine kicks the debate into overdrive with this next list:

It happens to everyone who loves movies: You're in a conversation at a bar, or at a wedding, or online, and someone begins rhapsodizing about one of their favorite movies and you can't help but say, "Uh, that movie sucks. It's totally overrated."

How two perfectly well-balanced individuals can have such drastically different views of the same film is one of the great wonders of being a film fanatic. It happens to us at Premiere all the time, enough so that sometimes we find ourselves questioning who we work with (boy, did it get ugly here when Love, Actually came out, and some of us are still snickering over our boss's love for Bowfinger, not to mention his affection for The Last Samurai).

Well, we decided to let our staff go at each other regarding some of the more beloved movies of all time, and, sure enough, sobbing can still be heard coming from the bathroom stalls.

Relationships have been strained. Egos bruised. Consider this a film lovers' quarrel, an admittedly rabid one.
