The Master over Moonrise Kingom? NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! (I have seen both)

[moviewatcher]

Another 25 lists, for a total of 700.

* The Hobbit makes it into the list, tying for #50.
* Cloud Atlas just keeps rising and is now at #22!!!
* The Master lost its #2 place to Moonrise Kingdom and is not 10 lists away...
* Still don't get how 40 people put Argo as their #1 movie of the year (and I really, really liked it).

[equinox]

Final Ranking with 791 lists!!! Cloud Atlas finished at 25! Not bad!

Yeah, I'm really surprised!

But The Master was ranked below Moonrise Kingdom... Now that I've seen ZD30 () I can safely say that The Master should have been ranked over both (ZD30 is still very high on my top 10, though).

[Howard Beale's Toothpaste]

Whoa, amazing that Moonrise came in at No. 2.
