I thought the list was . Sure, Heat is a good movie but most movies with the word "Heat" in it (or shows) are pretty bad.

What about "This Movie Sucks"? You never see those words in a title of a good film.
Or like, "Crying" and "Game" together.

I don't know. I'd pay $10 to see Ice Troll versus Son of the Final Ninja in the Dino-Universe: The Movie

I would (love ice trolls, hate ninjas)

sounds like a family based movie Troma would make.

Well I thought the "Final Countdown" was a good movie, as was "Air Force One".

Aside from Star Trek, usually film titles with the numbers 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, X suck.

How about "_______ on a Plane"?

Any movie with the word "Boogaloo" in it.

Bloodstorm

Ernest

Rambo

Matrix

Or "Breakin' "

You'd think this guy might have run his list through IMDB or Rottentomatoes just to be sure he wasn't completely full of shit. I mean, it kind of spoils the joke when one of his words is actually the title of a very good movie that, like, everyone has seen.


Ang Lee directed "The Ice Storm," which is well liked and 79% fresh on Rottentomatoes. "Ice Age" was also decently reviewed; 78% fresh.

Michael Mann directed "Heat" which is beloved and rated 90% fresh. How incredibly smug to fire off that list and put "Heat" on it. Typical of McSweeny's to publish a list by someone so clearly enamored with his own cleverness without having any idea what he's talking about.

Also, "In the Heat of the Night," 96% fresh, and is something of a classic.

See also, Lawrence Kasdan directed "Body Heat," 96% fresh, "Silence of the Lambs" helmer Jonathan Demme directed exploitation-classic "Caged Heat," 78% fresh.

The first "Dirty Harry" sequel was called "Magnum Force." Not as good as the original, but not bad. 76% fresh. I think that's the one where he broke up a hostage crisis by driving his car through a plate glass window and shooting everyone.

Jules Dassin directed "Brute Force" recently released by Criterion. I have not seen it yet, but it probably isn't bad.

I'm personally not willing to defend "Air Force One," or "Final Destination," but some people like those movies.

Never a good movie with Ninja in the title? What about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Sure it may be cheesy, but it is good cheese.

What about Clash of the Ninjas?!? Only the best comedy this side of Team America!

My VHS copy gets plenty of wear and tear. They need to hurry up and get this out on DVD!!!

But you see, Heat was very good, not remotely good.

Boogaloo

Nappy Headed

"Steven Seagal is __________"

The movie about Malcom X being a notable exception. And personally, I liked X2.

and Xtro

I've never even seen "Heat", and I knew the list would be savaged by you guys because of it's reputation.

I dunno, I really enjoyed The Matrix

"Batman" and "Robin"

Shyamalan's
