Hey, we're at number ten on my top ten finally, and that's The Cove.
Something that I try to keep in mind when watching documentaries
is if its good enough to be enjoyed even if you don't agree with it.
And yes, it is.
These people really know how to make a documentary.
They set up each shot perfectly, keeping in mind what needed to be shown.
And they even managed to deliver it in a way where it will make you
laugh, cry, or even just get plain pissed off.
And this isn't one of those PETA movies where they try to guilt you into agreeing with them
by showing you a bunch of pictures of dead animals.
The majority of the movie feels like a real life spy mission.
I recommend this movie to everybody especially animal lovers.
[Rick O'Barry] The thing that turned me around was the death of flipper, of Kathy.
She was really depressed. I could feel it. I could see it.
And she committed suicide in my arms.
That's a very strong word, suicide.
But you have to understand, dolphins and other whales are
not automatic air breathers like we are.
Every breath they take is a conscious effort.
So they can end their life, whenever life becomes too unbearable, by not taking the next breath.
And its in that context that I use the word suicide.
She did that.
She swam into my arms, and looked me right in the eye
and then took a breath and didn't take another one.
I just let her go and she sank straight down on her belly to the bottom of the tank.
The next day I was in the Bimini jail.
For trying to free a dolphin at the Lerner Marine Laboratory.
That's how I reacted to it.
I was going to free every captive dolphin I could.

Coming in at number nine is Moon. Directed by Duncan Jones who is actually David Bowie's son.
The movie stars Sam Rockwell and it's scored by Clint Mansell who also did the score for Requiem for a Dream and Black Swan.
There's an artificial intelligence named Gurdy played by Kevin Spacey
Which is really inspired by HAL 9000 from 2001: a Space Odyssey.
But even so this movie is defiantly original.
Everything about this movie is pretty great.
I don't want to give away any more about the movie than the trailer did,
but I will say that its not so much an action science fiction movie as it is a science fiction drama.
[Sam] Eight nineteen pacific time.
Readouts are as follows.
Matthew, nine dot eight miles.
Mark is--
[Recording] Hey Gurdy!

At number eight we have Thirst from the director of Oldboy.
Even if you don't think this is the best vampire movie ever made, which arguably it is,
It certainty is the most fucked up.
and it doesn't even rely on that for it to be good.
Chan-wook Park has grown so much as a director that the delivery of this movie brings
new meaning to the word omission.
This is just a fantastic director.
He has complete control of everything that's happening in the movie.
He even throws in a lot of clever foreshadowing to people who might notice after watching a second time.
The story revolves around a priest who becomes a vampire and is forced to abandon his life of non-violence.
I wouldn't recommend this movie to everyone as the pacing is a little unconventional
and the movie is very weird.
But if you're a fan of his older work or just want to see a fucked up story with really interesting characters
then this movies for you.
(Laughter)
[Cat] Meow.

[YMS] Number seven is another movie from south Korea called Mother.
From the director of The Host.
If there's one thing that this director can do well its to combine
both serious and humorous story elements effectively.
Mother tells the story of a woman who's trying to solve a murder mystery to get her son out of jail.
The movie is both hilarious and dramatic.
Its just a joy to watch altogether.
(Static)
At number six on my list is A Single Man.
This fantastic film only serves as further proof that the MPAA is full of homophobic bigots.
A Single Man gets an R rating in the United States, when it gets a PG rating in Canada.
(Static)
No, there's no hardcore gay sex in this movie but the main character is gay.
So for all you people who think you need to suck a dick just to relate to a gay character
then maybe you should do just that.
What I really like about this movie is the way they use selective colouring.
It helps bring us into the characters mind, understanding what makes him happy in this sad world that he lives in.
I'm sorry Jeff Bridges but Colin Firth should have won the academy award for this one.
Colin Firth was amazing in this movie.
[George] It takes time, in the morning, for me to become George.
I'm to adjust to what is expected of George and how he is to behave.
By the time I'm dressed and put the final layer of polish on the, now slightly stiff but quite perfect, George.
I know fully what part I'm supposed to play.
Looking in the mirror staring back at me isn't so much a face, as the expression of a predicament.
Just get through the god damn day.

So as we're approaching the top five you might be wondering where The Hurt Locker is.
And I like The Hurt Locker a lot.
Like, a lot. like enough to put on this list.
But there's one problem.
I have principles.
The producers of The Hurt Locker are greedy fucks.
They started lawsuits against people that downloaded the movie.
Lawsuits.
Against people.
What you weren't happy with your 50 million dollars?
What, is it because Avatar came out the same year?
The notion that internet piracy destroys the movie industry is fucking bullshit.
Its been dis-proven countless times.
(mocking) Uhh, but we won the academy award so we should have made more than Avatar right?
I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that people couldn't see it while it was winning those academy awards.
Its widest release was 535 theatres.
One of the producers even got banned from the Oscars because he sent them all emails
trying to get them to pick the Hurt Locker instead of Avatar.
Now compare the movie to X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
It was leaked on the internet before it hit theatres and everyone said it was bad, the critics said it as bad,
and it still made over 373 million dollars.
I wonder if that had to do with the fact that there were over 4000 theatres showing it.
These greedy fucks don't deserve to make another dime off this movie.
(Static)
Do not pay any money to see this movie.
Buy it second hand.
Watch it at a friend's house.
Borrow it from a friend.
Or you can have my copy.
That's right, I'm going to mail one of you lucky mother fuckers my perfectly legally purchased copy of The Hurt Locker.

[YMS] How do you like them horse-apples.
To win this fantastic prize you must:
Be subscribed to this channel on youtube.
Favourite part one of this video.
and leave a comment on part one of this video saying "WENGH!"
That's right I'm being a YouTube douche-bag.
Sue me.
Once part one hits 200 comments then its over.
I'll use a randomizer to determine the winner.
But think of it this way if you watched this video before everyone else and you leave 200 comments
then you win.
So now that I'm done whoring myself out and selling my soul,
we can get back to my top five.
