Busy week for this guy, folks. My apologies for the brevity tonight but we're going to dive right in.
It should be noted at this point that were this a "best song karaoked by two of the sexiest men alive" list, Wild Wild West would be the winner. But it isn't, so it's not.
If this list were compiled more than two years ago, one of the following three movies would have been chosen:
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
What About Bob
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
But the list wasn't, so one wasn't picked.
Instead, we're going all the way back to 2008 for today's pick. A year when people drove hybrid cars and listened to music on iPods. I know, we're going way back for this one.
The Wrestler
In any other decade this would have been the top movie, but the last decade also introduced us to There Will Be Blood, so The Wrestler will have to settle for number 2. Truly a great film and a real crime that Sean Penn beat Mickey Rourke for the Oscar in 2009 - and that's no discredit to Penn's work in Milk. Another tremendous snub is how this film failed to receive a Best Picture nomination over good (not great) films like Frost/Nixon, The Reader, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Shame on you, Academy.
