Movie spaceships are legion, but which is the most awesome in the universe? We ranked the 10 best, completely subjectively. Some rules: We only drew from the movies (TV spaceships like the Battlestar Galactica — which is killer — and the Draconian Marauder from Buck Rogers don’t count), and we only included legitimate spacecraft. Flying cars and unmanned rockets don’t count. Turns out there are almost too many awesome spaceships to count, so we offer apologies in advance to the Borg cube, the Imperial Star Destroyer, the X-Wing Fighter, various other Star Trek and Star Wars tertiary ships, many many other cool movie cruisers, and umpteen flying saucers that just didn’t make the cut.

Genre: Action, Crime
Rating: Rated PG-13 for intense action violence, disturbing images and some thematic elements.

Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins explores theorigins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight’s emergence as a force for good in Gotham. In the wake of his parents’ murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful.

He returns to Gotham and unveils his alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and an array of high tech deceptions to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city.

Batman has always been one of the most interesting of superheroes. While Spider-Man always dealt with the human side of the equation, Superman with the nobility and the X-Men with the moral equation, Batman has always dealt with the most interesting of topics – the human psyche. At its best (ie. no camp, no Schumacher) Batman always tried to examine the dark side of humanity and the elements of the criminal mind.

10. Freaks (1932) Director: Tod Browning

“But for an accident of birth, you might be as they are.” Director Tod Browning delves into the depraved world of sideshow circus freaks to reveal that they have more humanity than the average asshole walking the streets. Favorite freak: Prince Randian, “the living torso” (pictured above). Runner-up: Johnny Eck, “the half-boy.” Freaks was based on the short story “Spurs” by Tod Robbins. Believe it or not, this masterpiece only runs for a total of 64 minutes! Also released as Forbidden Love, The Monster Show and Nature’s Mistakes. Sample Dialogue: “We accept you, one of us! Gooble gobble! Gooble gobble!”

9. I Spit On Your Grave (1978) Director: Meir Zarchi

I always thought Halloween or Friday the 13th started the trend of “slasher films” that polluted the box office throughout the late ’70s and ’80s—that is until I watched this extremely low-budget flick about a writer who travels to a cabin in the woods, gets brutally assaulted by a bunch of hillbillies and then exacts her revenge using a series of rather creative methods—including hanging and castration. Also known as Day of the Woman. Sample Dialogue: “You know, sometimes I look at these gorgeous-looking chicks, I mean the ones that look like real knockouts, sexy and all . . . and I wonder . . . I wonder if they gotta take a shit, too.”

Youtube video:

8. El Topo (1970) Director: Alejandro Jodorowsky

Alejandro Jodorowsky’s totally bizarre, surrealistic masterpiece follows a gunfighter, El Topo (The Mole), as he makes his way through the desert and encounters one absurd situation after another in his search of enlightenment. One of the only films I’m aware of that has an armless, legless dwarf in the cast. Apparently, El Topo was one of John Lennon’s favorite films. David Lynch was also a big fan (see Eraserhead entry below). Jodorowsky once claimed, “I ask of cinema what most North Americans ask of psychedelic drugs.” Sample Dialogue: “Too much perfection is a mistake.”

7. Audition (1999) Director: Takashi Miike

The friend of a lonely widower sets up a phony audition for a nonexistent film so the poor guy can find a new wife. He gets more than he bargained for – to say the least! Directed by Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike, the film starts out as a traditional romantic drama but gradually devolves into a disturbingly graphic horror flick – definitely not for all tastes! Sample Dialogue: “Words create lies. Pain can be trusted.”

6. A Clockwork Orange (1971) Director: Stanley Kubrick

Alex (Malcolm McDowell) and his “droogs” go out on the town to partake in a little of the old “ultra-violence.” Director Stanley Kubrick brings Anthony Burgess’ classic novel to life with this disturbing look at a future populated by teenage gangs. Look for McDowell’s stirring rendition of “Singin’ in the Rain.” Here’s what Kubrick said to counter the negative reaction voiced against the film’s violence: “Sanitized violence in movies has been accepted for years. What seems to upset everybody now is the showing of the consequences of violence.” Sample Dialogue: “What we were after now was the old surprise visit. That was a real kick and good for laughs and lashings of the old ultraviolence.”

Youtube video:

5. The Last House On The Left (1972) Director: Wes Craven

The Last House on the Left would make a great double feature with I Spit on Your Grave for the truly depraved movie fan of the over-the-top, sadistic, revenge-fantasy flick. Believe it or not, the film was reportedly inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s The Virgin Spring, which won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1961! The Last House on the Left was directed by Wes Craven, who would go on to direct The Hills Have Eyes and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Sample Dialogue: “We don’t wanna off someone first night out. I mean, it’d be a shame to get this floor all messed up with blood.”

4. Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer (1986) Director: John McNaughton

Based loosely on the life of convicted murderer Henry Lee Lucas, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer follows roaming serial killer, Henry, and his demented buddy Otis, as they go on a random killing spree. Not a good movie to rent on a first date! Sample Dialogue: “If you shoot someone in the head with a .45 every time you kill somebody, it becomes like your fingerprint, see? But if you strangle one, stab another, and one you cut up and one you don’t, then the police don’t know what to do.”

3. Salo Or The 120 Days Of Sodom (1975) Director: Pier Paolo Pasolini

Based on the infamous book, The 120 Days of Sodom by the Marquis de Sade, Salo contains its fair share of disturbing imagery and graphic violence. For this reason, it is still banned in some countries even to this day – good luck finding a copy! Director Pier Paolo Pasolini was brutally murdered shortly after the film’s release. Sample Dialogue: “We fascists are the only true anarchists.”

Youtube video:

2. Irreversible (2002) Director: Gaspar Noé

“Time destroys everything . . .” Extremely disturbing French film directed by Gaspar Noé, Irreversible features a revenge plot told in reverse chronological order (similar to Memento) – punctuated by extreme violence and a brutally graphic rape scene that runs approximately nine minutes. Sample Dialogue: “Vengeance is a human right.”

1. Eraserhead (1977) Director: David Lynch

It took David Lynch, a former art student, five years to make Eraserhead, a curious blend of Kafkesque horror and Orwellian nightmare. Jack Nance portrays total loser Henry Spencer (a couple of years ago, I read that Nance was murdered during a fight at a donut shop). After viewing this film, you’ll know who served as the inspiration for fight promoter Don King’s unique hairstyle. Lynch once revealed in an interview that he had a chocolate shake at Bob’s Big Boy at 2:30 PM every day for seven years: “Two-thirty is Bob’s time . . . I can think there and draw on napkins and have my shake. Sometimes I have a cup of coffee and sometimes I have a small Coke. They both go great with shakes.” Sample Dialogue: “In Heaven, everything is fine. In Heaven, everything is fine. You’ve got your good things. And I’ve got mine.”

Why do we love being scared by movies so much?

Where is the satisfaction in being forced to jump out of our skins as someone or something leaps out at the least obvious moment? Why do we do it to ourselves? Is it a battle of wills between us and the director to see whether he can make you actually make you physically shit yourselves?

Or it that same impulse that when someone tells you to smell something bad, you can’t help but do it? It’s OK, we’ve all done it. Whatever the reason, some directors have certainly succeeded where others have failed by making you actually lift off out of your seat.

They can almost be measured by the sound of everyone landing. And here are the best, with video…

9. The Bourne Identity

We’re not sure what’s more shocking, the moment the guy comes through the window or the fact he commits suicide by deliberately jumping back through it.

8. Jaws

We are going to need a bigger boat. It’s possibly the defining moment of the film, as Brody suddenly gets his first good look at the shark while chumming.

7. Deep Blue Sea

If anyone ever tells you they knew that a flying shark was about to come and bite Samuel L Jackson in half they are simply lying.

No, we don’t want to hear it. Liars, the lot of you.

6. The Thing

OK, it may not make you jump out of your skin, but it certainly shocked us. Just didn’t see it coming.

5. Alien

All right, it’s hardly shocking now because we all know what happens, but remember the first time you saw it.

If you’re not convinced, just look at the actors’ reactions. They had no idea what was going to happen. Brilliant!!

4. Friday 13th – Part 1

Just when you thought it was safe to put the cushion that you’d welded to your face throughout the movie down, there is another bloody shock as Jason suddenly re-appears from under the water to knock off the remaining survivor. A million sequels are spawned.

3. Jaws – The head

It doesn’t matter how many times we see this, we still jump at that stupid head coming out.

2. Carrie

Surely one of the biggest jumps ever, as Carrie’s blood-soaked hand comes out of her grave and grabs the hand of a terrified Amy Irving.

1. Seven

If you did not jump at the moment when we realise the Sloth guy is not actually dead you must be dead yourself. We think our bowels loosened for a brief moment. There should be a law against it.

Movie downloads suck. There are lots of reasons why they haven’t caught on yet, and we have the Top 10 of them here. Sure, everyone’s talking about movie downloads, but in reality hardly anyone is doing anything about them.

The idea of having a limitless selection of every movie ever filmed is compelling, but it’s rife with so many gotchas that the majority of movie fans are staying away in droves. To put it into perspective, Ben Fritz at Variety offers a sobering stat: the all-time total number of legal movie downloads in history is less than the first day’s sales of the DVD of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. That really does suck, doesn’t it?
