My favorite aspect of the film: The mother character who supposedly loves her son and will do anything to protect him... Even though in one scene she uses him as a human shield against gun toting baddies, and in another scene she lets him ride without a helmet on Nick Cage's motorcycle while Cage does a bunch of stunt riding. Mother. Of. The. Year.

As for Polanski, the guy is a pig and deserves some jail time... But he also makes really good film. I sometimes eat veal, even though I know that it is cruel. In a similar way, I'll watch a Roman Polanski film because I'm a film lover and his films are rare (oh so rare, especially in these dark days of fighting robots and caped crusaders) and delicious. In both cases I feel guilty afterwards about supporting something ugly, but it tastes good and, after all, the calf is already dead and the film is already made... Why let it go to waste? There are starving kids in Africa who would love to eat that plate of veal! The thing is, when it comes to good films, WE are the starving African kids!
Alright, I've officially stretched this metaphor well past the breaking point ;).

Or maybe she will totally surprise me and act the hell out of the film.

Conservative? When were the Rocky movies ever not conservative? They were about one man achieving his version of the American dream through pure hard work, determination, and heart. They didn't need Rocky to come out wearing stars and stripes shorts in the first films - he was already an American hero.

Look, I have nothing against stupid action movies every once in a while, but they aren't art. I'd rather watch a movie that challenges me and moves me, which is clearly what this top ten list is about.
You people who are criticizing and deriding Thay for making a constructive (and positive) point about this top ten article are absolutely embarrassing. There is much more to cinema than just guys in tights punching and/or kicking mustache twirling villains. Maybe if you would actually try watching one of these top ten movies you would understand that. But no, you're probably too busy watching CGI robots punch each other on the moon.
