Boo Black Dynamite going out! I know I had that as my 12, but it was the lowest ranked movie I would've been quite happy winning. It is just a lot of fun and I loved the style.

I'm pretty shocked Holy Grail was the one to miss out on the top 10. I just sort of assumed that would do quite well and I'd be one of the lower rankers.

I thought it was mostly pretty good, even on a rewatch. I remember watching this the first time way back in high school because I friend of mine sat me down and insisted I watch it, and sort of side-eyeing him like "why did you insist I had to watch this?" It sort of goes back and forth between stuff I find pretty funny and stuff I kind of cringe my way through. Very British humor, and very dated British humor at that, which is something that just never resonated with me as well as it should.

Also, much more than Life of Brain (even though I liked this significantly more), this felt like a loose collection of sketches to me. It is very loosely tied together and I found the quality of the scenes varied fairly significantly depending on what they were doing. It was mostly the same as I remembered it, which unfortunately isn't the kind of movie I will want to watch through again for another decade or so.

I'll put my money on Austin Powers now. That really looks like the odd one out up there.
