![The Worst Comedies Ever Made]( "The Worst Comedies Ever Made")
Let's face it: all comedies aren't created equally. By not created equally, in this sense, means not funny. Not at all. That's just one factor that goes into being considered one of the worst comedies ever made. It shouldn't be too hard to make people laugh but these films aren't up to the task. Many of these comedies, in theory, should be funny especially when you consider the topics its tackling. The main culprit on this list is spoof movies. These so-called comedies set out to lampoon other popular movies, but ultimately fall flat. Examples of these include Disaster Movie and Meet The Spartans.
Spoofs aren't the only subgenre of comedy that comprises this list. Ill-timed or ill-imagined sequels are also among the worst comedies ever made. Whomever green lit Dumb & Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd, Son of the Mask, The Pink Panther 2 and Superbabies: Baby Genuises 2 probably isn't looking back on those decisions too fondly. These movies are not only considered some of the worst comedies ever made, but also some of the worst movies period.
Here is your chance to pick what movie deserves the title of the worst comedy ever made. There are some pretty bad comedies on this list, but there's always room to add more that may not have been included.

(But we'd rather look at cute baby animals.)
Some of the most heartwrenching scenes in movies involve children or strong heroic lead men losing their beloved dogs or horses. The best talking animal movies have a diverse mix of animal actors, including cats, dogs, birds, monkeys, and sea mammals. Voice talent from famous A-list actors provides laughs and quotable lines for both children and adults.

Knee Brace
Okay Bruce Wayne has no knee cartilage and has to use a cane to walk. Suddenly he uses this brace and he doesn't have any more issues. What the shit?
Iron Man Arc Reactor
I'm not a doctor or an engineering graduate, so I can't tell you for sure how stupid this is. Let's just use some common sense to see how stupid this thing really is. This reactor was built in a cave with materials provided by terrorists. The original idea was that it kept Tony Stark alive because of the damage he sustained from shrapnel. Tony Stark improves the idea so that it will power a full armored suit that shoots some type of blast laser. Also where the fuck did Tony Stark get all the material for that huge ass Iron Man suit when he was held captive by terrorists?
Bat Themed Throwing Stars
![]()
I'm no Physics major, but it seems to me that the more sides a throwing star has, means the more likely you will hit something rather than it bouncing off a target. I'm not versed in Ninjitsu like Bruce Wayne, so I really can't say what they use. I'm just assuming Ninjas prefer throwing stars with more sides.
Also what's the deal with having to buy some parts of his bat disguise in bulk and other parts he has to make? Making one of those bat throwing stars is going to take a long ass time. It must take at least 5 hours to make one of those bat throwing stars by hand.
Flying Aircraft Carrier
I don't work for a government contractor that produces jets or aircraft carriers, but I can tell you for sure this is an idiotic idea. Maybe someone is working on it somewhere, it will never be developed though. A space ship would probably be less expensive and a submarine are the most valued ship that would be a fraction of the price as this. As to why an aircraft carrier would want to fly, it really wouldn't make sense.
Super Soldiers
The first Hulk idea involving potion that turns you into an incredible Hulk really wasn't that far fetched. Okay, so you take something then you look like a green bodybuilder, which really isn't that believable. It just looks way more believable then the newer Hulk features.
The new Hulk is 20 feet tall and can jump miles on a single bound. It's just so far fetched, it is extremely unbelievable regardless of the science the movie came up with that explains how it works.

![About Last Night Movie Quotes]( "About Last Night Movie Quotes")
"About Last Night" movie quotes bring the laughs in the romantic comedy that addresses what happens after two adults meet and hook up. A remake of the 1986 film of the same name, which was based on the 1974 David Mamet play, the movie was directed by Steve Pink using a screenplay by Leslye Headland. "About Last Night" opened in theaters on February 14, 2014.
In "About Last Night," Bernie Jackson (Kevin Hart) and Danny Martin (Michael Ealy) are best friends as are Joan Derrickson (Regina Hall) and Debbie Sullivan (Joy Bryant). Bernie and Joan meet one night at the club and immediately hit it off, going home together and quickly becoming a couple. They introduce their best friends Danny and Debbie to one another and those two begin dating as well.
Things get complicated for the four though when Bernie and Joan have a nasty split while Debbie and Danny grow closer together. As the four friends try to cope with the new dynamic, everyone involved reacts to the changes in their own ways.
"About Last Night" joins theaters which are already showing other great films such as "The Lego Movie, "Gimme Shelter," "I, Frankenstein," "Ride Along," "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, "The Wolf of Wall Street, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" "Her," "American Hustle," "Saving Mr. Banks," August: Osage County, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," "Dallas Buyers Club," "Philomena, "Inside Llewyn Davis," "Out of the Furnace," "12 Years a Slave," and "Frozen".
http://www.ranker.com/list/about-last-night-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes,
So Tell Me
Danny: "So tell me."
Bernie: "Tell you what?"
Danny: "About last night"
Bernie: "I meet this girl. She gets drunk. I get drunk. We go back to my place. I made her feel like good and evil hung in the balance."
…
Joan: "So this Bernie's got a pair. It's ladies night. I'm down. I'm talking dirty. I am impressing myself."
After the night when Bernie and Joan meet (and quickly get down to business), both tell their best friends about their experiences. They both had a great time but it might be too soon to tell where the relationship will go.
The First Date
Debbie: "I can't believe I slept with him on the first date."
Joan: "Tell me everything."
Debbie: "His eyes, his body, his mouth…"
Joan: [Gasps] "He didn't!"
Joan admits that she surprised herself by sleeping with Bernie on their first date. She however is not ashamed to tell best friend and roommate Debbie about how amazing he was.
Too Damn Good Looking
Bernie: "You need to go find you a nice looking female. Take her back to your place. Turn her out. You know what your problem is? You're too damn good looking."
Danny: "What?"
Bernie: "Best thing that could happen to your face is an industrial accident."
Bernie explains, or tries his best to, exactly why Danny is single. In an odd portrayal of logic, Bernie suggests that Danny is too good looking and should ugly himself up for better success.
No Magic in That Mini-Mite
Joan: "Who are you waving those singles at?"
Bernie: "Joan!"
Joan: "There ain't no magic in that mini-mite."
Following a breakup, Joan is not excited to see Bernie at a costume party, especially since he's dressed as a stripper and a woman is waving singles at him. Clearly there is unfinished drama between Joan and Bernie and it's about to come to blows.
This Is Stupid
Bernie: "Man, I'm seeing a difference in you. I feel like it's because of her. I'm kind of jealous? I'm really happy for you."
Danny: "Really?"
Bernie: "Hell no! This is stupid!"
When Danny admits that he and Debbie are moving in together, Bernie is conflicted with the news. At first Bernie seems happy that his friend is so happy, then when he compares it to his own happiness, Bernie's tone changes.
Broke Up With Me
Joan: "He broke up with me!"
…
Bernie: "She broke up with me!"
…
Joan: "I hope he gets hit by a car and can only have sex through a series of hand movements."
Following their breakup, both Joan and Bernie hold some bad blood about the situation. Joan however is wishing awful things on Bernie for it.
What Are You, a 13-Year-Old Girl?
Danny: What's up, boy?"
Bernie: "I'm shaking your hand."
Danny: Why?"
Bernie: "Debbie, man"
Danny: "How do you know this?"
Bernie: "They are roommates, your girl and my girl."
Danny: "She's not my girl."
Bernie: "Did you text her, Danny?"
Danny: "I don't have her number."
Bernie: "You're gonna get it after all that stuff you did last night. She gonna find you."
Danny: "I'm going to be a good friend and pretend like you didn't just say that."
Bernie: "I'm going to be a good friend and pretend like I didn't just see you check Facebook for a friend request! What are you, a 13-year-old girl?"
After Bernie and Joan introduce Danny and Debbie, Bernie tries to get Danny to admit that he's smitten with Debbie. While he totally denies it, his actions, like that of a teenage girl, say otherwise.
Loser Gets On Top
Joan: "Hey, get on top."
Bernie: "I'm not getting on top. You gotta get on top."
Joan: "I got on top the last time."
Bernie: "Rock, paper, scissors, loser get on top."
Joan: "Okay"
Bernie: "All right, on three… That's a tie so we gotta go from the side."
Bernie and Joan compromise in the bedroom. Neither want to get on top and their rock, paper, scissors match ends in a tie leading them to go at it from the side.
Who Said 'I Love You' First?
Debbie: "God I love you."
Danny: "I love you too."
…
Bernie: "No, no, no! Who said, 'I love you,' first?"
Danny: "She did."
Bernie: "Women approach that phrase with a tactical strategy normally reserved for an anti-terrorist strike team. That was no accident. That was an ambush!"
…
Joan: "Disaster!"
Debbie: "Is it that bad to be the first one to say it?"
Joan: "Yes it is! Whoever says, 'I love you,' first… Let's just disappear! Go into witness protection because you're screwed!"
Both sets of friends react after Debbie and Danny share "I love yous." Neither the men nor the ladies see that as a good thing with Joan even going as far to say they need witness protection.

![RoboCop 2014 Movie Quotes]( "RoboCop 2014 Movie Quotes")
"RoboCop" (2014) movie quotes remake the popular science fiction action film from 1987. Directed by Jose Padilha, "RoboCop" was written by Joshua Zetumer using characters originally created by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner. "RoboCop" returned to theaters in the United States on February 12, 2014.
In the 2014 version of "RoboCop," Detroit police officer Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) is injured in a car bomb explosion. With his wife Clara's (Abbie Cornish) somewhat consent, Alex is placed into the RoboCop program. Under the lead of OmniCorp CEO Raymond Sellars (Michael Keaton) and scientist Dr. Dennett Norton (Gary Oldman), the RoboCop program aims to convince the public to accept mechanized bots in their society, which in turn would make OmniCorp a boatload of money.
Alex wakes following the accident to learn that he's been made part robot and will now be fighting crime on the streets with the help of his new form. Alex soon learns that though he was told he has free will, his actions are actually being controlled by the system, that is until Alex turns the tables and overrides the system to enact his own agenda.
This "RoboCop" remake might not get all the praise of the original but other films in theaters at the same time did such as "The Lego Movie, "Gimme Shelter," "I, Frankenstein," "Ride Along," "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, "The Wolf of Wall Street, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" "Her," "American Hustle," "Saving Mr. Banks," August: Osage County, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," "Dallas Buyers Club," "Philomena, "Inside Llewyn Davis," "Out of the Furnace," "12 Years a Slave," and "Frozen".

The Human Element
Jae Kim: "Somehow, he's overriding the system's priorities."
Dr. Dennett Norton: "The human element will always be present. Compassion, fear, instinct, they will always interfere with the system!"
The team is surprised to see Alex overriding the system that controls him, makes him think he has free will. Dr. Norton on the other hand always knew that the human element would always be a threat.
You Say You Can Save Him
Dr. Dennett Norton: "He's suffered fourth-degree burns over 80% of his body. If he survives, he'll be paralyzed from the waist down, confined to a wheelchair."
Clara Murphy: "You say you can save him but what does that mean? What kind of life will he have?"
Dr. Norton explains the status of Alex to his wife Clara. Dr. Norton claims he can "save" Alex but doesn't elaborate on all of the details, something Clara later comes to regret.
Illusion of Free Will
Dr. Dennett Norton: "When the machine fights, the system releases signals into Alex's brain, making him think he's in control, but he's not. It's the illusion of free will."
Dr. Norton reveals a secret about Alex's being. While Alex will think that he has free will, in reality, he is being controlled by a system much bigger than him.
The Future of American Justice
Pat Novak: "Until today, Thomas King was a convicted felon, wanted for rape, arson and murder. Here he is, just steps away from two of Detroit's finest. These two officers are complete unaware of the monster in their midst. And then, in 60 seconds, I repeat, just 60 seconds, Detective Murphy brings him down. This, my friends is the future of American justice. How many, like Thomas King, will pay for their crimes now that Robocop is here?"
On his television show, The Novak Element, Pat Novak talks about the benefits of having mechanized police soldiers on the streets. He talks about the controversial subject with the hopes that he will convince the masses and the government, to allow this technology to become reality.
It's Not a Suit
Dr. Dennett Norton: "Time to wake him up."
Alex Murphy: "Where am I?"
Dr. Dennett Norton: "You were in an explosion. We're here to make you whole again."
Alex Murphy: "What kind of suit is this?"
Dr. Dennett Norton: "It's not a suit. It's you."
Alex Murphy: "What the hell did you do to me?"
Following his tragic injury, Alex wakes up to find himself as now part robot. While Dr. Norton tries to explain what has happened, the news is hard for Alex to take.
A Figure They Can Rally Behind
Raymond Sellars: "We need to give Americans a figure they can rally behind. We're gonna put a man inside a machine."
Raymond Sellars wants to convince the public to allow mechanized beings, which will in turn make his company a ton of money. But convincing the masses to get behind him will be tough, though he has an idea.
Plans Have Been Cancelled
Alex Murphy: "I'm the first of my kind, half man, half machine. I was created to rid the streets of crime but the people who built me had different plans. It's time to inform them that plans have been cancelled."
Alex explains the situation he's been put in. He has realized that his true mission has been a lie and he is ready to start doing things for him, not those who built him.
I've Been Through a Lot
Dr. Dennett Norton: "Alex, listen to me. The EM 208s will try to maneuver you so Mattox can get a clear shot. Do not let that happen. If Mattox hits you, everything but your life support will shut down. You'll feel more pain than you've ever felt in your life."
Alex Murphy: "I don't know about that. I've been through a lot."
While the robot form can provide a certain amount of protection for Alex, it will take some practice and training before he is truly ready to take his new form into the real world.

![Winter]( "Winter")
"Winter's Tale" tells a fantasy love tale of a thief and a very sick woman who fall in love but have to fight time itself to find another again. The supernatural drama was written and directed by Akiva Goldsman and based on the 1983 novel of the same name by Mar Helprin. "Winter's Tale" opened in the United States on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2014.
In "Winter's Tale," it's 1916 and Peter Lake (Colin Farrell) is doing his usual, breaking into homes to steal valuables. One robbery doesn't go as planned when he encounters a tenant in a home. That girl, Beverly (Jessica Brown Findlay), instead of being afraid, is interestingly kind to him and the two soon fall in love. Their time however is short as she is dying of tuberculosis and he is being hunted by insane gangster Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe).
Just as Peter's life is saved by a mystical white horse named Anthansor, he finds himself 100 years in the future, in modern day Manhattan. With no memory of who he is, Peter is tasked with figuring out why he's still on this earth, something new friend Virginia (Jennifer Connolly) helps with, and try his best to reunite with his one true love, Beverly.
"Winter's Tale" hits theaters already buzzing about other great films including "The Lego Movie, "Gimme Shelter," "I, Frankenstein," "Ride Along," "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, "The Wolf of Wall Street, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" "Her," "American Hustle," "Saving Mr. Banks," August: Osage County, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," "Dallas Buyers Club," "Philomena, "Inside Llewyn Davis," "Out of the Furnace," "12 Years a Slave," and "Frozen".

I Have No Memory
Abby: "I smashed into you."
Peter Lake: "Are you all right?"
Abby: "I'm Abby. What's your name?"
Peter Lake: "I don't know. I've had no memory for as long as I can remember."
…
Peter Lake: "I appreciate the help… Beverly, her name was Beverly."
Virginia Gamely: What is happening here?"
A chance meeting with a child and her mother in the park sends Peter on a trip back in time, at least through the microfilm at the library. Peter has no recollection of who he is but once he sees Beverly's photo, it starts to come back to him.
I Want to Kill Him
Pearly Soames: "Peter Lake, I want to kill him and I want him to stay dead."
Insane Irish gangster Pearly Soames really wants to kill Peter and not just kill him once but kill him dead so he stays dead. Good luck with that, Pearly.
Something You Are Meant to Do
Peter Lake: "Why keep me alive?"
Virginia Gamely: "Maybe there is still something you are meant to do."
Peter Lake: "I think I'm supposed to save her."
Peter is confused about his gift of reincarnation and why he was selected to keep living when others cannon. As Virginia explains, perhaps Peter has been selected to do something very important, like save Beverly.
If You Don't Love Me Now
Beverly Penn: "If you don't love me now, no one ever will."
Beverly explains to Peter that it's his duty to love her as if he declines, she will soon die having never been loved.
She's Dying
Isaac Penn: "Who are you? What is your relationship to Beverly? Are you aware of her condition?"
Peter Lake: "She's dying."
Isaac questions Peter about his relationship with Beverly. While Peter isn't too forthcoming about how they met, he does share that he knows about Beverly's terminal tuberculosis.
You'll Not Be Saving Anyone
Pearly Soames: "I've been blackening souls and crushing miracles for longer than I can remember. Yours is the kind of love that makes the world warm and light, the kind of love that can save her. You'll not be saving anyone."
Pearly Soames sees the special connection Peter has with Beverly but he could care less. He is ruthless and is ready to kill Peter, which should quickly put an end to all that mushy love stuff.
How Is He Still Alive?
Pearly Soames: "He is neither angel nor demon. How is he still alive?"
Following Peter's execution, Pearly is surprised to hear that Peter really isn't dead. This puzzles him but also angers him at the same time.
Just Robbing the Place
Peter Lake: "It squeaks."
Beverly Penn: "You have a gun."
Peter Lake: "I was just robbing the place, you know."
Beverly Penn: "Is that still your intention?"
Peter Lake: "No, it isn't."
Beverly Penn: "Well then, I suppose the polite thing to do would be to offer you a cup of tea."
When Peter enters the home of Beverly's, he doesn't expect to confront the tenant, just rob the place. He also doesn't expect her kindness, especially given his initial motive.
Love Someone So Completely
Peter Lake: "Is it possible to love someone so completely that you can't die?"
Peter ponders his existence and wonders aloud if it was his love for Beverly that caused him this power of reincarnation. Perhaps this love is his unfinished business with which he still needs to find closure.
Best Thing You've Ever Stolen
Beverly Penn: "You steal things?"
Peter Lake: "Yeah, I do steal things from time to time. Lately I've been having a bit of a disagreement with an old boss though."
Beverly Penn: "What's the best thing you've ever stolen?"
Peter Lake: "I'm beginning to think I haven't stolen it yet."
During their tea together, Beverly asks Peter about his life as a thief, including what he feels is his best steal. Peter isn't so sure that he's found that just yet.

![Monuments Men Movie Quotes]( "Monuments Men Movie Quotes")
"Monuments Men" movie quotes tell the true story of a group of museum curators and artists tasked with stealing artwork back from the Nazis during World War II. Based on the book The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History by Robert M. Edsel, George Clooney, who also directed, penned the screenplay with Grant Heslov. "Monuments Men" opened in theaters on February 7, 2014.
In "Monuments Men," Frank Stokes (George Clooney) is tasked by US President Roosevelt to gather a team of ordinary art museum directors, curators and artists then travel to Germany during World War II. Once there, the Monuments Men, as they were called, were on a mission to locate artwork stolen by the Nazis and steal it back. As Hitler wanted all of the artwork with cultural significance taken, that task was a big one.
So Frank gathers his team including James Granger (Matt Damon), Richard Campbell (Bill Murray), Walter Garfield (John Goodman), Jean Claude Clermont (Jean Dujardin) and Preston Savitz (Bob Balaban) with that goal in mind. This is easier said than done though as most of the men are quite up in age, way too old for military basic training, that's for sure, and have little to no combat experience. But with a lot riding on the success of the mission, the Monuments Men set out to achieve their goal one way or another.
"Monuments Men" joins theaters already full of other great films like "The Lego Movie, "Gimme Shelter," "I, Frankenstein," "Ride Along," "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, "The Wolf of Wall Street, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" "Her," "American Hustle," "Saving Mr. Banks," August: Osage County, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," "Dallas Buyers Club," "Philomena, "Inside Llewyn Davis," "Out of the Furnace," "12 Years a Slave," and "Frozen".

Hitler Wants Everything
James Granger: "Hitler wants everything. He really wanted it all."
Frank Stokes: "Then we better get it back."
James is shocked by the sheer level of want Hitler has. When Hitler meant that he wanted it all, he wasn't joking, but like Frank says, more reason to get it back.
I've Never Shot at Anyone
Walter Garfield: "I've never shot at anyone before."
Walter talks about how inexperienced he is to play the role of a soldier. In his defense, none of them are suited for battle, more for the museums and offices.
If Germany Falls...
James Granger: "If Germany falls, they are to destroy everything."
James explains the pressure they are under. They don't have a set time frame to complete their task as if Germany were to fall, at that moment it would be game over.
Want to Get Into the War?
Frank Stokes: "Want to get into the war?"
James Granger: "Monuments Men"
Frank Stokes: "Time to put a team together and do our best to protect the buildings, bridges and art before the Nazi's destroy everything."
James Granger: "How many men?"
Frank Stokes: "Six"
James Granger: "Jesus"
Frank Stokes: "Well, with you it's seven."
James Granger: "That's much better… So you want to go into a war zone with some architects and artists and tell our boys what they can and cannot blow up."
Frank Stokes: "That's right."
James Granger: "Aren't we a little old for that?"
Frank Stokes: "Yes… We go through basic and then we wait for orders."
James Granger: "Basic? Basic training?"
Frank Stokes: "Mmmhmm"
James Granger: "Oh boy"
Frank approaches James with the hope that James will join their mission to preserve things before they're blown up. James initially thinks they are too old for all that, then really thinks they are too old once Frank mentions basic training.
Stepped On a Land Mine
Frank Stokes: "What have you got?"
James Granger: "I seem to have stepped on a land mine."
Frank Stokes: "Why did you do something like that?"
James Granger: "It was a slow day."
Richard Campbell: "What do you got?"
Frank Stokes: "The lieutenant here seems to have found himself on an unexploded mine."
Walter Garfield: "Why would you do that?"
James Granger: "You all have been spending too much time together."
An unlucky James finds himself on an unexploded land mine. While neither Frank nor Walter have a great solution to that problem, they are in line with their responses.
As If They Never Existed
Frank Stokes: "If you destroy an entire generation of people's culture, it's as if they never existed. That's what Hitler wants and it's the one thing we can't allow."
Frank gives the overview of why they are doing what they are. Hitler wants to rid the earth of these cultural artifacts and the Monuments Men are there to make sure that doesn't happen.
John Wayne
Richard Campbell: "What's going on? This seem to be a bit of a problem."
Preston Savitz: "A bit"
Richard Campbell: "Here's a thought. We put down out guns. You go our way. We go our way. No hard feelings… He doesn't speak any English."
Preston Savitz: "Not a word"
Richard Campbell: "Okay"
Preston Savitz: "You're just going to sit down?"
Richard Campbell: "Yeah, why don't we all sit down for a sec"
Preston Savitz: "Okay, all right… I don't smoke."
Richard Campbell: "Take a cigarette."
Preston Savitz: "I don't smoke."
Richard Campbell: "Take a god damned cigarette."
Nazi Kid: "John Wayne"
Richard Campbell: "John Wayne"
When Richard and Preston find themselves in trouble, at gunpoint by a young kid who speaks no English, Richard tries to find some common ground to diffuse the situation. Luckily, John Wayne is there to help.
We're Going to Need Your Skill
Frank Stokes: "We have been tasked to find and protect art that the Nazis have stolen. You've all been selected because we're going to need your knowledge and we're going to need your skill."
Frank addresses the troops and lays out the premise for their mission. They need to steal back all the art the Nazis have stolen before it's destroyed forever.

![The Best Alien Movies Ever Made]( "The Best Alien Movies Ever Made")
The best alien movies, ranked by fans of space & sci-fi genres. Alien movies can take several forms. What are the best alien movies? Many films about extraterrestrials or visitors from other planets turn them into traditional horror villains. These "alien war" movies tend to follow a simple pattern: 1) UFOs arrive at Earth, 2) a misunderstanding or outright evil intent sparks a war between aliens and humanity, 3) with massively destructive and terrifying results. Consider the similarities of the recent "Battle: LA," Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds," and even Tim Burton's genre parody, "Mars Attacks." However, there are also films in which aliens are not an interstellar threat but a boon to humanity, or at least well-intentioned explorers. "E.T." is the classic example of the "friendly alien" genre - and the xenomorphs in the "Alien" franchise stay in outer space, so that's good for humans, too. ET is also one of the best alien kids movies ever made.
What are the best alien films of all time? Often in these films, the aliens are tragically misunderstood, and it's the primal nature of human beings that spark conflict. Finally, there are numerous films about aliens which attempt to "realistically" depict what might happen if humans and extraterrestrials interacted. These include "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (another Spielberg film!), "District 9," and even abduction films purportedly based on 'true stories,' such as "Fire in the Sky." While this list does not include all alien movies ever made, it is a list of the best alien films. What do you think are the greatest alien movies of all time?

![The Best Serious Movies Starring Comedians]( "The Best Serious Movies Starring Comedians")
Dramatic movies starring comedians, ranked by comedy and film fans. Often, after making a name for themselves appearing in wacky or silly movies, comics will purposefully take on a more serious role, often in an attempt to show off their range. Comics like Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler and Robin Williams are all noted for their tendency to alternate between funny and more serious roles (with Williams at some points in his career altogether abandoning comedies in favor of dramas.)
Often, fans are initially resistant to attempts by comedians to change around their style or appeal to new audiences. Sometimes, the experiments blatantly don't work out, with viewers unable to see their favorite funny performers in a new light. But other times, the decision to switch gears in favor of working in a drama pays off for a comedian, sometimes even resulting in award nominations or greater appreciation from acting peers. (As when Eddie Murphy was nominated for an Oscar - and won a Golden Globe - for his role in the musical "Dreamgirls" after years of being written off as the star of goofy features like "Nutty Professor" and "Norbit.")

![3 Days to Kill Movie Quotes]( "3 Days to Kill Movie Quotes")
"3 Days to Kill" movie quotes follow the action as a dying Secret Service agent tries to balance work and home life during one last mission. The action thriller was directed by McG using a screenplay by Adi Hasak and Luc Besson. "3 Days to Kill" opened in theaters on February 21, 2014.
In "3 Days to Kill," Ethan Runner (Kevin Costner) is a highly skilled Secret Service agent who for most of his life chose his secret career over his now-estranged wife (Connie Neilsen) and daughter, Zoey (Hailee Steinfeld). He wants to reconnect with his family and retires from the agency to do just that. With Ethan retired, his wife asks him to look after Zoey while she travels to London for business, a role he happily accepts.
Soon Ethan discovers that he is terminally ill and given just three days to live. He does have one way out though. Agent Vivi (Amber Heard) has an experimental antidote but will only fork it over if Ethan helps them capture The Wolf, a terrorist Ethan hunted for a long time during his career. With few options, Ethan agrees to the job but has to complete it while also looking after Zoey and without arising her suspicions.
If "3 Days to Kill" isn't quite your speed, there are plenty of other great movies in theaters such as "Monuments Men, "Winter's Tale, "RoboCop (2014), "About Last Night," "Vampire Academy "The Lego Movie, "Gimme Shelter," "I, Frankenstein," "Ride Along," "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, "The Wolf of Wall Street, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" "Her," "American Hustle," "12 Years a Slave," and "Frozen".
http://www.ranker.com/list/3-days-to-kill-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes,
When You Work for the Agency
Ethan Runner: "Five minutes from now, this team will save thousands of lives. Under no circumstances does this briefcase leave the area or it's war. Good or bad, when you work for the agency, it becomes your whole life."
Ethan talks about his current mission as well as how being a Secret Service agent takes over your life. For Ethan, he is ready to take his life back but it won't be so easy.
Spend More Time With My Daughter and My Wife
Ethan Runner: "I don't want to spend the rest of my life killing for you."
Agent Vivi: "You're the best agent for this job, Ethan. We need you."
Ethan Runner: "I just want to spend a little more time with my daughter and my wife."
Ethan tries his best to resign with dignity from the Secret Service but Agent Vivi isn't taking no for an answer.
Only You Can Stop Him
Agent Vivi: "The wolf is the most dangerous terrorist this world has ever faced. Only you can stop him."
Ethan Runner: "I'm going to need a new suit."
Agent Vivi asks Ethan for one last mission before he completely leaves the Secret Service. While Ethan doesn't really want to do he, the target is an old friend of his.
Look After Zoey
Wife: "I was going to ask you to look after Zoey while I go to London for work."
Ethan Runner: "I can handle it."
Wife: "You have to make me a promise. Are you done? Are you really done working for them?"
Ethan's wife asks him to look after their teen daughter, Zoey. It seems simple enough, that is unless he's also fighting terrorism at the same time.
Experimental Drug
Agent Vivi: "You're sick, Ethan, but I could offer you an experimental drug that might just give you your life back."
Ethan Runner: "So I buy back my life by killing for you?"
Agent Vivi: "That's the job. You have three days to kill."
It seems awfully suspicious that when Ethan comes down with a strange and deadly illness, that Agent Vivi conveniently has the cure and is willing to trade it for his work one last time. One might almost wonder if she made him sick in the first place.
The Spare Is Loose in the Trunk
Ethan Runner: "I thought you might want a ride home."
Zoey: "Did you hear that?"
Ethan Runner: "The spare is loose in the trunk." [to man in the trunk] "Hey, I'm trying to have a conversation with my daughter." [to Zoey] "I'm sorry, sweetie. Now where were we?"
Zoey hears something in the back of Ethan's car when he picks her up. While he claims it's just a noisy spare tire, it's actually someone he's holding captive.
His Great Recipe
Ethan Runner: "Zoey?"
Zoey: "I want to make dinner tonight and I want to make spaghetti sauce so I need your help."
Ethan Runner: "It just so happens I'm in a meeting here with a real live Italian. He wants to give you his great recipe." [to Italian guy] "Why don't you say hello to my daughter."
Italian Guy: "Hello, I am a Guido."
Completely oblivious to his real profession, Zoey phones her father for help cooking dinner. Since he's with, and by with we mean holding hostage, a real Italian, Ethan puts his acquaintance to work.
Real Football
Zoey: "Dad, I'd like you to meet my boyfriend."
Boyfriend: "Great to meet you. I'm an athlete."
Ethan Runner: "Soccer?"
Boyfriend: "Yeah"
Ethan Runner: "I don't like soccer. I'm from Pittsburgh. We play real football."
Boyfriend: "American football, yeah"
Ethan Runner: "No, real football… So you like to score?"
Boyfriend: "Definitely, yeah… on the field only"
As if meeting a girl's father wasn't intimidating enough, try finding common ground between fans of soccer and American football, or as Ethan calls it, real football.
You Can Start Counting
Ethan Runner: "My job is to hunt terrorists. I don't negotiate. Within three days, I will find you. You can start counting."
Ethan tells The Wolf in no uncertain terms that he's coming for him. To be nice, Ethan gives him three days to try to stop it, but that's pretty unlikely.
Not One of Them Dresses Like You
Zoey: "You know a lot of my friends' dads are in sales and not one of them dresses like you."
Zoey thinks her dad is a boring sales guy, just like her friends' dads, though he dresses somewhat differently. Little does she know what he actually does.

![Your Oscar Picks 2014: Best Supporting Actor]( "Your Oscar Picks 2014: Best Supporting Actor")
Oscar picks for the 2014 Best Supporting Actor recognize the performances in some of the best 2013 movies that were not necessarily leading roles, but made the movies even better. These five actors are all deserving of praise for their performances but which deserves the Oscar? Vote for your picks for the 2014 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor below!
Just as he easily took home the 2014 Golden Globe, many are expecting Jared Leto to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor as well. In a stellar performance as Rayon in "Dallas Buyers Club," Leto, like lead actor Matthew McConaughey, transformed his entire body for the role, losing over 30 pounds to prepare for the role as a transgendered woman with AIDS.
But Leto faces some good competition from other nominees. Bradley Cooper, for his role as Richie DiMaso in "American Hustle," Barkhad Abdi who appeared in "Captain Phillips" as Abduwali Muse, Jonah Hill, who played Donnie Azoff in "The Wolf of Wall Street" and Michael Fassbender as Edwin Epps in "12 Years a Slave" all will get consideration for the honor as fellow nominees.
So who do you think will win, or more importantly, which of these great actors deserves the 2014 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor? Weigh in below then head over and share your picks for Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Actress as well.
