When in Rome – Blu-ray and DVD
It’s always fascinating to me to compare all these Flickchart rankings to see what they say about the Flickchart community. For instance, When in Rome has been ranked less than Mary and Max above despite being much higher profile. This tells me: A. That Flickcharters are awesome as a whole and watch good, interesting movies more than bad ones, B. that there are not a lot of females here, and C. Flickcharting guys have as great taste in girls as they do in movies, and they aren’t forced to go see fluff like this.

Amongst the cheesiest movies of all-time but its heart is in the right place. The theme song by Queen and Timothy Dalton are amazing.

Direct-to-Video:
Unthinkable – Blu-ray and DVD
This movie has some star-power for being DTV. Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Sheen, & Trinity.
Circle of Pain – Blu-ray and DVD
Kimbo Slice couldn’t fight (though he could probably break me with his pinky), so now we get to see him star in even worse looking DTV movies than most other MMA stars.
