Mark Lisanti is the Deputy Editor of Yahoo’s entertainment blogs and former editor of Defamer and Movieline.com columnist and he has just posted the top ten list every writer across the Internet wished they had thought of first. It’s simple, addictive and extraordinarily clever.
Instead of naming his list of films he has chosen to give a short sentence wittily describing each. I have gone through and done my best to figure out which films he’s talking about and with the help of Laremy I a guess for all ten of them and have blacked them out so as not to spoil the fun. Just highlight the blacked out text to reveal my guesses.
The Sweet-Hearted-But-Poignant Animated One We’re Supposed To Take More Seriously [Toy Story 3]
The One By The Famously Exacting Director With The Great Script By The Famously Jerky Screenwriter [The Social Network]
The One Where You’re Going Insane Waiting Around For The Crazy Thing To Happen, Then It Happens [127 Hours]
The Super-Loony One, Holy Shit, Was That Fucking Nutballs Or What? [Enter the Void]
The One Where The Whole Thing Might Have Been A Dream [Inception]
The One Where The Whole Thing Might Have Been A Hoax [Exit Through the Gift Shop]
The Shattering Little One That Everyone’s Already Forgotten About, Which I’ll Probably Replace With True Grit When I Finally See It [Winter’s Bone]
The One With A Bunch Of Authentic-Feeling Regional Stereotypes [The Fighter]
The Other One With A Bunch Of Authentic-Feeling Regional Stereotypes [The Town]
The One That Kind Of Bombed But I’m Including Anyway Because It Was So Much Fun [Scott Pilgrim vs. the World]
The Foreign One You Didn’t See Yet Because You Never Send Back Your Netflix DVDs
Obviously the last one is just thrown in there for good measure as it makes #11 and gives no real clues as to what film it may be, but can you figure out the rest?
Feel free to reveal your guesses in the comments, there are no spoilers here.
