24. Ash (Evil Dead)
23. Harry Callahan (Dirty Harry)
22. Red (The Shawshank Redemption)
21. Michael Corleone (The Godfather series)
20. Forrest Gump (Forrest Gump)

4. Han Solo (Star Wars trilogy)
3. The Joker (The Dark Knight)
2. Darth Vader (Star Wars series)
1. Tyler Durden (Fight Club)THE QUESTION: Tyler Durden at #1…really…over Darth…???
‘The Inquisitor’ Commentary: I say no way. Fight Club is a great movie, but over Darth…no chance. And seriously, The Joker at #3 all time…? I think that’s A LITTLE HIGH UP the chart…! Yeah, Ledger died…I get it…and he was great, but is his one role better than Indy or Hannibal or Bond’s multiple roles…? I dont think so. Plus, Gollum at #13…huh? Was he a more meaningful or powerfully visual character than Arnie-nator or Mr. Anderson/Neo…? Not in my book. Also, the article’s writer did a great job of mentioning some rather peculiar omissions from the Top 100 list completely (who was overlooked) including Dr. Evil, Shaft, and Superman.

9 Year Old Gets Movie Deal…
‘The Inquisitor’ Commentary: I thought this story was sad enough when I found out this kid got a book deal. Now I hear Fox has signed a six-figure movie deal for this kid’s book “How to talk to Girls.” I want to rant about how pathetic this is so bad that Ive made my head hurt.

Film Addict: How many of IMDB's Top 250 have you seen?
(sneakyjane:peterwknox:bg5000)
i got 65.6%.
it actually kinda disappointed my own standards.
THE QUESTION: How do you score…?
‘The Inquisitor’ Commentary: I scored 70.2 percent. Not bad. Have seen quite a few of the older movies from the 30’s and 40’s, but not enough. Still an addict though. I love movies.

A-TEAM MOVIE…?
THE QUESTION: Would you go see the movie…?
‘The Inquisitor’ Commentary: I hope this gets made…but only if they can get cameo appearence from Mr. T (I need to do my research to see if any of the rest of the original team are still living) at the very least. One of my favorite shows growing up.
-
THE QUESTION: What did you discuss after seeing Watchmen…?
‘The Inquisitor’ Commentary: DEFINITELY NOT BIG BLUE DONG. LOL. Please. This movie was much more interesting and had quite a bit of depth to it. I walked into this movie that didnt have any expectations (because I hadnt read the comic book) and enjoyed it. Now, I want to read the comic book really bad. I just see so many underlying themes and pieces of social commentary that can be talked about in this movie for it to be getting so much bashing. Yes…it was a little long. Yes…it has some cheesy moments. Yes…it was a little all-over-the-place. But I think all that helped make the movie something great. I think this movie will become one of those movies that grows over time on people and a few years from now with become a big cult movie.

THE QUESTION: Best music movie ever…?
‘The Inquisitor’ Commentary: No doubt. I mean you had a movie with musical performances from the following people…
- James Brown
- Aretha Franklin
- John Lee Hooker
- Ray Charles
- Cab Calloway
Thats quite a list…and it excludes the music from Belushi and Aykroyd with the Blues Brothers band. Watching this movie always provides great laughter to go along with the great music. And…it includes two massive car chase scenes as well…how can you beat all that…?
-
‘The Inquisitor’ Commentary: No question here…just sit back and watch this classic scene from Cheech & Chong’s “Up In Smoke.”
A classic line that goes a little unnoticed here uttered by Cheech…
“Yeah man…I’m in a band too. I’m the lead singer. Yeah man, we play like everything…from Santana to El Chicano man…” (around :20 mark in the clip)
LOL LOL LOL. Too funny.
-
THE QUESTION: Sexiest thriller of the year…?
‘The Inquisitor’ Commentary: That is how Obsessed is being promoted on the TV commericals. Really. That’s gonna be very interesting to see if they can pull that off. And here is why…can “the sexiest thriller of the year” movie be rated PG-13…?

Movie Stars Who Die The Most
THE QUESTION: So, who is the movie star who is killed the most often…?
‘The Inquisitor’ Commentary: According to Premiere, its…wait for it…
YEP…Robert DeNiro…with 14 deaths. However, after going thru the list, the first thing I noticed (and others in the comments section noticed as well)…NO SAMUEL L. JACKSON…! How is that possible…Sam Jackson dies in almost every movie he’s been in. LOL. Others in the comments section mention a few other notables (Liem Neeson, Gary Oldman, Leo DiCaprio) were missing as well. What do you think of this list…?

Biggest Movie Month Ever…?
THE QUESTION: Can one month produce five movies grossing over $100 million dollars…?
‘The Inquisitor’ Commentary: Possible. This May is shaping up to be quite a run at it. There are 5 movies entering the market in May that are all going to easily make $100 million, but can they do it in one month…? It would be the first time in movie history it has happened. Here are the contenders…
- X-Men Origins: Wolverine (May 1)
- Star Trek (May 8)
- Angels & Demons (May 15)
- Terminator Salvation (May 22)
- Up (May 29)
Yes, Up will have a tough time reaching $100 in one weekend, but its still a possibility. I see at least the first four movies being able to do it, especially with Terminator coming out on Memorial Weekend. The biggest movie months in history have only been able to get thee $100 million dollar movies before…
- November 2008 (Madagascar 2, Twilight, Quantum of Solace)
- May 2008 (Iron Man, Indiana Jones Kingdom, Narnia: Prince Caspian)
- May 2007 (Spider Man 3, Pirates of Caribbean 3, Shrek 3)
What do you think…possible…?
