Best Spaceship Flight Scene: the X-wing fight at the end of Episode IV StarWars. Okay maybe I am old school, but it is truly great. If you watch the re-re-cgi-ed version, it is still pretty cool. Of course, any of the big Babylon 5 battles run a pretty close second.

Biggest Mindf***: Ending of Se7en

Best "Oh My God, CGI can do that?!": Did you see the Lord of the Rings?

Things we totally agree upon
Best Line Delivered Immediately Prior to a Villian's Death: "This is where you fall down." Johnny Cage, Mortal Kombat. It may not be the best line, but it has style.

Coolest Animated Villian: Maleficient, from Sleeping Beauty (yes, I know it's Disney. Shut up; she kicked ass.)

Most Heartwrenching Moment (in a fantasy/ science fiction film): When Navarre and Isobol almost touch at dawn in LadyHawke With the qualifier it is hands down true, without the qualifier it could be true.

Coolest Baby: JackJack from The Incredibles No argument there. Of course, not a lot of competition.

I will qualify.
Best "Oh My God, CGI can do that?!" (total CGI): Advent Children

Best Death of a Nameless Minion: In Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, when the Ents are marching on Isengard. They break the dam, water comes rushing in, and an Ent casually tosses an orc he's holding into the oncoming wall of water.

Best Gamer Related High Schoool Movie: Sky High

Best literal application of the term Ice Queen. Sky High - The Girl, with ice powers, that keeps freezing every guy who makes a pass at her.

I have to say, when i first watched Final Fantasy: The spirits within I was so fricken amazed by the graphics (of course i nearly wet myself when i saw the first cut scene in Final Fantasy VII)

Best portrayal of Warewolves and Vampires: Underworld, no questions asked. I still haven't seen evolution, is it any good?

Best one-liner: Routy Roddy Piper in "They Live" -- "I came here to do two things, chew bubblegum and kick some ass and it looks like i'm all out of bubble gum." *cocks shotgun*

Cutest movie protagonist: Gizmo from Gremlins.

Biggest mindf***: Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind or The Usual Suspects (they're a different kind of mindf***)

Best CGI for it's time: TRON!!

MoonHunter · « **Reply #104 on:** February 26, 2006, 12:09:37 AM »

Best portrayal of Werewolves: American Werewolf in London, with Howling I (and only number 1, we do not acknowledge the other ones existing) coming in a close second.

Best Use of Mini Coopers: The Italian Job

Only Permissable Use of a Britney Spears Song: Robots

Best "OMG What the HELL Were They Thinking?!" Movie That Still Somehow Works: To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything - Julie Newmarr

Best Action Movie With But A Symbolic Plot - Mean Guns (So here you are... now kill each other.)

Have forgotten one:

Best Announcement That The Movie Is Not Over Yet: Aliens, when the Alien Queen puts her rather sharp tail through Bishop, and then rips him in half. Ouch.

Best Classic Seafaring Movie: Master and Commander (Okay, this is the only one I can remember at the moment, besides the Pirates of the Caribbean, which is a little different category. So other candidates are welcome.)
