Yes, but not necessarily intentionally.
280 out of 376 still unrevealed and the verdicts are already in?
That WOULD be a joke. Is it the King Kong factor again? As promised before, the Peter Jackson version remains off the list.
When the entire list is done, there will be huger lists of many films which were left out.........but it remains to be seen whether others will want to submit them after the fact. I look forward to their counter-choices.
Just wish I had remembered to include THE WILD GEESE when I was assembling this. Arguably Roger Moore's finest hour.

Some Bonds seem to improve with age. (To me, MOONRAKER seems better than before. It's probably the pacing.) Some seem worse now (OCTOPUSSY and especially TOMORROW NEVER DIES). Others were always weak (THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN and LICENCE TO KILL). Even DOCTOR NO is outmatched by its sequels in many respects. When QUANTUM OF SOLACE was released, it reinforced an unofficial rule of mine that the second adventure of every Bond ACTOR---excepting Connery's FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE----was doomed to suffer in the process.

Indeed it is on it. Brett Ratner stepped in for another director for the third installment. Speaking as a non-fan of the RUSH HOUR series, and an X-Men fan, Ratner has nothing to apologize for with HANNIBAL or THE LAST STAND. He's not Bryan Singer. That means he didn't direct THE USUAL SUSPECTS. It also means he didn't direct SUPERMAN RETURNS WHILE CONSTANTLY LIFTING HEAVY OBJECTS AND NEVER KICKS LUTHOR'S BUTT. I never bought into the ''Ratner-is-Satan'' vitriol because his film is the strongest of the three. Why do I say this? Because:
1. The first film is hampered by a low-budget and a mischaracterization of Storm by the American actress Halle Berry. It's still a good effort.
2. The second film continues the Berry problem but has a better budget, good support by Nightcrawler, a cinematic take on X-MEN 101 and an expanded roster of characters. Plus Wolverine cutting loose. The Stryker-son plot had some confusing moments. Otherwise, it's a better film than the first.
3. Berry still disappoints as Storm. She will say ''dammit'' or ''gonna,'' which violates Ororo's character. If she was as dominant in the films as she was in the comics, it'd be more of an issue. That is the sole major flaw in LAST STAND. Here are the assets: Hugh Jackman with Wolverine at his best, Kelsey Grammer, Ellen Page, Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut, Mystique---who I never even liked----gaining our sympathy as a human, Magneto being taken out by an Avenger, more characters than ever with all key players getting their moment, a great tragic take on X-MEN 137 with outstanding special affects, performances and plot, a truly spectacular score by John Powell and an absolutely unforgettable death scene with Patrick Stewart as Xavier. McKellen is superb in this scene as well.
No X-MEN film is perfect. THE LAST STAND is only Number 277. But those reasons above make it head and shoulders the finest of the three.

Not at all. I've explained my reasoning why X3 surpasses 1 and 2 with the most flawless, logical reasoning I have available. Laugh if you will, but know that I remain resolutely serious in this matter.
I was expecting additional oh-reallys for my rankings of DUNE, AIRPORT, M.S.'s FRANKENSTEIN and ARMAGEDDON.....to say nothing of ranking the 1976 KING KONG over the original 1933. Some of these revealed choices were much higher in the past before I saw the light and wisened up. Seriously.
But little by little, by the nature of this list, it gets better. Trust me.

270. The Omen (1976)
269. Deep Rising (1998)
268. Napoleon (1927)
267. WR: Mysteries of the Organism (1971)
266. Alien Resurrection (1997)
265. Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)
264. Parenthood (1989)
263. Alive (1993)
262. Treasure Island (1934)
261. Singin' in the Rain (1952)
If we ranked all of these titles for flat-out weirdness, ORGANISM would be a solid first place here.

I call that film ALIENS VS. PREDATOR: ABOMINATION and it has no place on a top Five Million List. Even I have some standards.
The CLOSE ENCOUNTERS point is a good one. If only there were a way to raise it without disrupting the overall integrity of the list. Cross your eyes, and it will seem to be ahead of ALIEN RESURRECTION.

253. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (2000)
252. The Conversation (1974)
251. The Sand Pebbles (1966)
Moebius and Leonardo Cimino are dead.

This a joke list. It has to be. There's no other possible explanation for the presence of X-Men: The Last Stand and Alien Resurrection. I wait with bated breath to see what other hilarious atrocities make it on here.
Of course it's your favorite. How could it not be?
