Marlon Mack had about 6 great touchdown runs called back by penalties. I don't know how this works with the analogy, but it does feel right.

right? i mean this is a bit of apocrypha designed to be easy to remember!

surely young people are at least vaguely aware of stacy's mom's ex?

the funniest part is spike disowning the picture by making them credit it as "a spike lee film" instead of "a spike lee joint"

oh absolutely. just goofing because the trajectory of that movie getting made was similarly circuitous and headscratching, especially will smith getting spielberg to direct it.
but agree that it theoretically could have worked.

oh i actually have yet to see boy and the heron, my bad.
howl's that high is insane and predictable (complimentary).
you should rewatch porco it's so good.
(i think a big thing with miyazaki because of the sameness is just the order you first saw them tbh)

wait, what are the more recent ones?

ok but that's just youthful folly, garden state was never good.
wes anderson movies are full of good stuff, mostly held back by wes anderson's weird predilections. it's like he's trying to be a worse woody allen and succeeding. gene hackman never spoke to him again after tenenbaums!

zissou is a mess. he got obsessed with the idea of having a character that dies, and just bizarrely kills owen wilson for no reason.
tenenbaums is his "most important" movie partly because of the flaws. his recent output really makes those flaws stand out in relief though.

there's a lotta good stuff in there, but it's less than the sum of it's parts unfortunately

Oh yeah, it's the reverse. The Wilson brothers punching up his scripts with jokes is the thing holding the whole operation together.

And obviously, enjoy what you enjoy! This comment is more about the ppl that get to have a voice in these kinds of rankings.
Frankly I think Mulholland Drive falls into this category as well (but is much better than GBH).

blech!
Wes Anderson ranked:
1. Rushmore
2. Bottle Rocket
3. Tenenbaums
4. The rest any order
5. Darjeeling Limited

You can smell the desperation to get some women onto the list here. Lotta googling of "award winning female director 21st century" going on.

the guy who supported howard schultz???

yeah, the industry trends are real, but i absolutely have to acknowledge that i want to rank a whole bunch of movies from 2000-2003 when i *coincidentally* saw basically every movie, and don't have any movies from the last ten years, when i saw 2 movies a year or whatever.

It's similar to the polling thing where you ask "who is your neighbor likely to vote for?"
If you ask "what are the 10 greatest films of the 21st century?" you'll get a much worse list than if you ask "name 10 films you'd like to see represented in the list of the Century's Top 100 films?"

It's definitely true, and a huge amount of budget shifted to prestige tv as well. The heyday is over, and part of it is also that new movies have to compete with an ever increasing back catalogue of great movies.
