No votes for The Matrix? And what is The Incredibles doing on that list? Was there some subtext I missed? All I remember is Holly Hunter's sexy voice coming out of the most limber body imaginable.

The inclusion of the Incredibles puzzled me too. Unless Syndrome is a metaphor for something or other. Too deep for me. I preferred the sultry voice of Mirage.

He left out a few:

Battleship Earth
Pearl Harbor
Red Dawn
Dumb and Dumber
Masters of the Universe
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Rocky 47

Hey, how could anyone who listens to Pete fail to be inspired by such classics?

I am not getting why Matrix Reloaded or Matrix Revolutions are not allowed to be voted in. Is Pete saying that the sequels are inherently anti-liberty as opposed to the The Matrix being pro-liberty? Like Quixoted, I am wondering if I missed some subtext that shows how the sequels flipped on the liberty angle.

Well, Neo did strike a deal with the Machines. I guess Petey would prefer it if he Stood Tall, tore down the Matrix and freed the entire world. Like himself :roll:
