weird they chose Black Panther of all the MCU movies. should have given the nod to Iron Man just for kicking off the whole thing.

But Robert Downey Jr didn't die to cement iron Man's legacy.

Well that is an interesting list. I don't think I've heard of about a third to half of them. Shocked Borat is that high. Return of the King didn't make the list but Borat was number 53. Okay.

Sasha Cohen rigged it probably

Because Return is the “worst” of the trilogy. Also, any top list with Melissa McCarthy in it is immediately invalidated.

Overall decent list tho not sure how Gravity made the list but Saving Private Ryan didn't.

Because Saving Private Ryan came out in the 20th century

This is a really nice list, I'd have preferred Django Unchained to inglorious bastards by far.
