Top 10 Most Disturbing Movies Of All Time

#10 - FREAKS [1932]

 "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!"

'Spider-Man' reboot: Who should play Peter Parker?

'Spider-Man' reboot: Who should play Peter Parker? As anyone who reads The Daily Bugle knows by now, Tobey Maguire will not be back for Spider-Man 4. Neither will Sam Raimi, the director who kick-started the superhero saga back in 2002. And since Sony, the studio behind the Web-slinger franchise, has no intention of letting their cash cow dry up, it’s currently in the process of rebooting Spidey in a younger, more contemporary direction with a (presumably) younger, less-expensive actor as Peter Parker.

So we’re wondering, which of Hollywood’s hot teens and twentysomethings should be considered to don the Spidey suit? Here are a few possibilities. Afterwards, let us know who your candidates are.

Zac Efron Age: 22 Why our Spidey sense is tingling: He’s already proven that he can put teenage butts in seats thanks to High School Musical, and he ’s familiar with bizarre, supernatural bodily transformations thanks to 17 Again. He can sing, he can dance, he can smolder and brood (but not too threateningly, mind you). Heck, he can even convincingly shoot hoops! What can’t this guy do? Compared to belting out pop songs in the cafeteria, swinging from a web and tangling with Green Goblin should be a cakewalk.

Robert Pattinson Age: 23 Why our Spidey sense is tingling: Okay, he’s British, pasty, and he’s got a pretty busy schedule, what with all these Twilight movies you may have heard about. But if I were a Sony bean counter, I’d be stuffing the ballot box for this guy. After all, this could be the ultimate parasite blockbuster. Think about it: First, you cast Kristen Stewart as Mary Jane Watson, then you cast Taylor Lautner as Harry Osborn (i.e., James Franco’s role), then boom!…just sit back and watch the greenbacks pile up. If I ran Sony and wanted to retire to a private island, this would be my choice.

Daniel Radcliffe Age: 20 Why our Spidey sense is tingling: Because he’s about to have a whole lot of time on his hands. With the Potter films finally kaput, Radcliffe no doubt wants to show folks he’s more than just Hogwarts’ resident boy wizard — he’s a serious actor. What better way than to play a character whose great power brings great responsibility? Plus, we love the idea of Michael Gambon as a Dumbledore-ish Uncle Ben.

Shia LaBeouf Age: 23 Why our Spidey sense is tingling: First of all, he seems like the kind of guy who might actually read comic books. That’s a plus. Second, he won’t freak out when this thing blows up and becomes a monster hit since he’s already a franchise veteran (Transformers, Indiana Jones). Third, unlike a lot of teen-steam heartthrobs, he doesn’t seem like…well, a wuss. There, I said it. This can’t be emphasized enough. Please, if you insist on casting a new Peter Parker, do not cast a wuss.

Jaden Smith Age: 11 Why our Spidey sense is tingling: The star of the new Karate Kid’s dad, Will Smith, has made a ton of money for Sony over the years. So I’m guessing all he’d have to do is have pops pick up the phone and dial Amy Pascal’s digits and this things a done deal. Actually, the kid’s a good actor, too. But the Kryptonite-like power of nepotism is never to be underestimated.

Okay, now tell us who you want to see as Peter Parker…

13 Hot Women Vampires

KATE BECKINSALE
Selene in Underworld (2003) and Underworld: Evolution (2006)
The British beauty sported a smoking-hot bodysuit to play vampire warrior Selene. As an added bonus, she ended up marrying the film's director, Len Wiseman.

DEBORAH ANN WOLL
Jessica on True Blood (2008-present)
She cries blood and is horribly embarrassed by her new fangs, but tender sweet young thing Jessica — all naïveté, strawberry blonde hair, and wide eyes — blends ingénue and vamp into one killer combo.

RACHELLE LEFEVRE
Victoria in Twilight (2008)
Maybe revenge is a dish best served hot. Victoria may be plotting against Bella and Edward (Edward killed her partner in vamp crime), but Lefevre makes villainhood seem pretty darn appealing. Too bad she's been replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard for the third Twi-flick, Eclipse.

PARKER POSEY
Danica Talos in Blade: Trinity (2004)
Posey made a rare departure from indie dramas to play Danica Talos, a vampire who helped free an imprisoned Dracula, in the third Blade film. As always, Posey looked pretty fierce and fashionable, even when undead.

JENNIFER ESPOSITO
Solina in Dracula 2000 (2000)
Just one of a trio of sex-starved vampirettes, Solina busted open Van Helsing's vault, hijacked a plane, and got speared against a wall. We mostly remember how hot she looked with fangs.

JULIE BENZ
Darla on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) and Angel (1999-2004)
Angel's sire had an appetite for carnage and sex, and could rock a corset, a schoolgirl uniform, a slinky red dress, or [SPOILER ALERT] maternity wear. A man could do worse

SALMA HAYEK
Santanico Pandemonium in From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
The best part of this Quentin Tarantino-Robert Rodriquez tag-team? Hayek slinking on stage with a boa constrictor wrapped around her bikini'd body, which is the perfect set-up for the ''Holy crap, this is a VAMPIRE movie'' moment.




JAMI GERTZ
Star in The Lost Boys (1987)
Sexy, stylized, and (half) undead, Star was sexy enough to make a guy go head-to-head with a vampire biker gang to win her cold heart.


AALIYAH
Akasha in Queen of the Damned (2002)
Released just six months after the R&B singer and actress died at age 22, this Anne Rice adaptation featured Aaliyah as the stunningly beautiful vampire queen Akasha.

JULIET LANDAU
Drusilla on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) and Angel (1999-2004)
Because some men, other than Spike and Angelus, like the crazy chicks. Whether behaving like a wispy little girl or a coldhearted killer (she used her fingernail!), Landau's Dru was always hypnotic.


LAUREN HUTTON
Countess in Once Bitten (1985)
The only thing this 400-year-old vampire liked more than a plunging neckline is a virgin, whose blood she must drink to keep her eternal beauty. Enter Jim Carrey's Mark Kendall. ''I haven't had anything this pure since the Vienna Boys Choir hit town.''


RHONA MITRA
Sonja in Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009)
Fans might have been skeptical that Mitra could sub in for Kate Beckinsale as the Underworld films' leading badass lady-vamp, but she held her own, particularly with some rather convincing swordplay. In the rain.

ELISABETH REASER
Esme in Twilight (2008)
We have a soft spot for hot moms, and Esme Cullen is way at the top of the list — sure, she's physically frozen in the body of a 26-year-old, which helps, but she's also devoted and thoughtful, and Reaser's easy warmth comes through despite the ostensible icy pallor.

The 12 Most Amazing Comic-Con Movie Moments

Los Angeles (E! Online) – Our throats are all sore from shrieking at Robert Pattinson with all the Twi-girls and our light sabers hardly have enough juice to challenge a Sith Lord to a decent duel. And yet we still have just enough energy left to tell you all about the best parts of Comic-Con 2009.

Here are the most incredible, explosive things we learned about stars, movies and, gulp, some of your mothers:

• Be nice to every Jack Sparrow you meet, because you never know if he's going to be Johnny Depp.
• Kristen Stewart can't wait to get pregnant, while Rob Pattinson aches to perform a high-risk medical procedure to deliver their magical baby. Ah, young love.
• Taylor Lautner is chatty, R.Pattz has one leg shorter than the other and K.Stew needs a hug.
• Two new scenes from New Moon in and we still don't know if we're Team Edward or Team Jacob.
• Botany is the only hope for the future, according to James Cameron's new movie, Avatar. Also, the future seems populated by rubbery, catlike CGI characters.
• Gary Oldman is a gossipy goose! The next Batman will begin shooting in 2010.
• You should fear Josh Brolin. (Megan Fox is just shy.)
• Robert Downey Jr. made a enemy who gave him lip on the set of Sherlock Holmes.
• Michael Keaton has not totally disappeared and will voice the part of Ken Doll in Toy Story 3.
• Peter Jackson's The Hobbit is still waiting to be green lit. In terms of casting, those playing the Middle Earth types will be announced in two agonizing months.
• Some of your moms' minds are in the gutter. Adult married ladies—many with children—pen R-rated Twilight fan fiction that your life-giver is reading right now.
• Iron Man, whose sequel is said to be living up to expectations, may join a boy band of superheroes, but will probably stay solo for at least the next couple of years.

Top 10 Comedy Movies

In addition to making us laugh, comedy movies make us think about our lives and the world around us in new ways. My choices of films here are an eclectic mix ranging over a variety of comedy sub-genres, including parody, screwball, and dark comedy. This is my personal, idiosyncratic list of favorites, and it doesn't necessarily reflect the popular wisdom on comedy movies. For the sake of focus, I've limited my choices to English-language talkies.

1. 'Some Like It Hot' (1959)

Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot is arguably the greatest comedy ever made. Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis play jazz musicians who dress in drag and join an all-girl band, where they meet the sexy singer Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe). I loved the hilarious Cary Grant impression by Curtis as his character Joe tries to win Sugar's heart by impersonating a suave, debonair millionaire.

2. 'Dr. Strangelove' (1964)

In Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, psychotic U.S. Air Force General Jack D. Ripper sends B-52s to attack the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons. U.S. President Muffley assembles his advisors, including Dr. Strangelove, in the Pentagon's War Room. I think Dr. Strangelove is probably the greatest political satire in film history, in addition to being one of the best black comedies ever made. Peter Sellers plays three roles, and I find him hilarious in all of them.

3. 'Annie Hall' (1977)

Woody Allen must have been channeling Freud and Marx (Groucho, that is) when he made Annie Hall, and I consider it one of the great romantic comedies of all time. Alvy Singer (Allen) is a neurotic New York Jewish comedian who tells about his romance with the insecure Annie Hall (Diane Keaton), a WASP originally from Wisconsin. But Annie matured a bit, and the romance came to a bittersweet end. Alvy's advice to Annie: "Don't take any course where they make you read Beowulf."

4. 'It Happened One Night' (1934)

In Frank Capra's It Happened One Night, a runaway heiress (Claudette Colbert) and a newspaper reporter (Clark Gable) are forced by circumstances to take a long road trip together. Whenever they stay in a motel, he puts up a clothesline between their twin beds, then hangs a blanket over it and refers to the divider as the Walls of Jericho. I love the ending of this film: A blast from a toy trumpet sounds, a blanket is shown dropping from a rope to the floor, and the screen goes black.

5. 'Bringing Up Baby' (1938)

I consider Howard Hawks' Bringing Up Baby to be the quintessential screwball comedy, and I know of no other movie where the funny sequences are so nearly nonstop throughout. The madcap film stars the undisputed king of screwball comedy, Cary Grant, and he is paired with Katharine Hepburn, who is brilliant here. Grant portrays a nerdy paleontologist who gets involved with a ditsy heiress played by Hepburn, and her dog runs off with one of his rare bones. The titular Baby is a pet leopard.

6. 'Singin' in the Rain' (1952)

Singin' in the Rain has long been one of my favorites. It's arguably the greatest screen musical of all-time, and it's also one of the best comedies ever. In addition to Gene Kelly's iconic rendition of the title tune, I always enjoy Donald O'Connor's energetic "Make 'Em Laugh," as well as those two male performers teaming up with Debbie Reynolds for the cheerful "Good Morning." I think Jean Hagen is hilarious as the actress with the unpleasant nasal speaking voice.

7. 'Duck Soup' (1933)

My favorite Marx Brothers' movie is Duck Soup, in which Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho) is the dictator of a country called Freedonia. In the film’s most famous sequence, Chico and Harpo impersonate Firefly by donning nightshirts and nightcaps, completing the ensemble with mustaches, eyeglasses, bushy eyebrows, and cigars. On another occasion, Chico and Harpo get into a hilarious hassle with a lemonade seller. And remember: "If you run out of gas, get ethyl. If Ethel runs out, get Mabel."

8. 'The Graduate' (1967)

In Mike Nichols' The Graduate, Ben (Dustin Hoffman) is a young man who can't decide what to do with the rest of his life. He falls for Elaine (Katharine Ross), but gets into a sexual relationship with her mother Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft). Just after Elaine weds another, she and Ben rush out of the church and board a municipal bus together. I'm always intrigued by the film's enigmatic ending, where Ben and Elaine stare silently ahead as the bus takes them toward an uncertain future.

9. 'Airplane!' (1980)

I rate Airplane!, which spoofs disaster movies, as the funniest of all parody films. When the pilots of a jam-packed commercial jetliner come down with food poisoning, it's up to a shell-shocked, discredited aviator (Robert Hays) and a plucky stewardess (Julie Hagerty) to land the plane. In flashbacks, we get a meet-cute parody of "Saturday Night Fever" and a romantic scene spoofing "From Here to Eternity." Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Robert Stack, and Leslie Nielsen all play key roles.

10. 'Blazing Saddles' (1974)

Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles is one of the most hilarious movies I've ever seen. What passes for narrative is driven by the premise that an African American man becomes the sheriff in a racially prejudiced town in the Old West. This serves as a situation in which Brooks strings together a series of comedy sketches parodying Western movies. Among the most memorable of the sketches are cowboys eating beans and breaking wind and Lili Von Shtupp (Madeline Kahn) performing "I'm Tired."

Harry Potter conjures up $159.7 million in 5 days

LOS ANGELES — Harry Potter continues to work box-office alchemy, turning his latest movie adventure into an overnight blockbuster.

The sixth installment, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," took in $79.5 million domestically over opening weekend and $159.7 million since debuting last Wednesday, according to estimates from distributor Warner Bros. on Sunday.

The movie also took in $237 million overseas since Wednesday in 54 countries, bringing its worldwide total to $396.7 million.

With some of the best reviews of any "Harry Potter" movie, "Half-Blood Prince" was off to the fastest overall start in franchise history.

The sixth movie about the young wizard came in $20 million ahead of the last movie, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," which grossed $139.7 million domestically in its first five days two years ago.

The new film had the second-highest start ever for a movie premiering on Wednesday, trailing the $200 million five-day opening for last month's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen."

"Half-Blood Prince" already has surpassed the $157.3 million "Order of the Phoenix" pulled in during its entire first week. By the end of its seventh day Tuesday, "Half-Blood Prince" will be in the $180 million range on its way to becoming the franchise's first $300 million domestic smash since the original movie, 2001's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," said Dan Fellman, Warner head of distribution.

The audience was a bit older for the new movie, with more elder teens turning out to see Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and pals Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) as they deal with adult concerns such as heartache, jealousy and romantic triangles.

Fans have grown up with the franchise, from young readers whose parents had to debate whether the early movies might be too intense for their children to see.

"When the first movie came out, they fought to go. The mother was like, well, should I take them, should I not take them?" Fellman said. "Now they're driving themselves to this and going to the midnight show."

Sacha Baron Cohen's mock documentary "Bruno" plummeted after its No. 1 debut the previous weekend. The Universal Pictures comedy fell to fourth-place with $8.4 million, down a whopping 73 percent from its $30.6 million opening.

Crowd-pleasing movies typically dip 50 percent or less in their second weekends. But "Bruno" has had mixed reviews and failed to earn the audience buzz that made a $128 million hit out of Baron Cohen's 2006 comedy "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."

After 10 days in release, "Bruno" has climbed to $49.6 million and will finish far below $100 million domestically.

While "Harry Potter" had a healthy start, the overall box office plunged compared to the same weekend last year, when the Batman juggernaut "The Dark Knight" had its record opening weekend of $158.4 million.

The top-12 movies this weekend combined for less than that, taking in $153.9 million, down 39 percent from a year ago.

"We got kind of slaughtered even with the 'Potter' movie, but we knew that was going to happen," said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. "When one movie last year makes more than what the top-12 movies did this year, you're going to have a down weekend."

Fox Searchlight's romantic comedy "500 Days of Summer," starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, got off to a big start in limited release with $837,588 in 27 theaters. That amounted to an average of $31,022 a cinema, compared to $18,376 in 4,325 theaters for "Half-Blood Prince."

A hit with critics, "500 Days of Summer" expands gradually into wide release over the next few weekends.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Final figures will be released Monday.

1. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," $79.5 million.

2. "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," $17.7 million.

3. "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," $13.8 million.

4. "Bruno," $8.4 million.

5. "The Hangover," $8.32 million.

6. "The Proposal," $8.3 million.

7. "Public Enemies," $7.6 million.

8. "Up," $3.1 million.

9. "My Sister's Keeper," $2.8 million.

10. "I Love You, Beth Cooper," $2.7 million.

Harry Potter movie sets British box office record

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince set a British box office record on its opening night by taking more than £4.7 million in ticket sales.

The new Harry Potter film starring Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, set a record for a Wednesday opening night.

To take the title it beat the previous £3 million record set by the third instalment of the wizard's adventures, Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban.

News of its success came as new figures showed that British films banked more than £2.6 billion worldwide last year.

In the US, the Half-Blood Prince also smashed the record for takings at midnight screenings, with £13.6 million, beating Batman movie The Dark Knight, which took £11.3 million last year.

Figures released by the UK Film Council showed that nearly one in six film viewings in cinemas around the world in 2008 was of a British film, while in the UK more than one in three tickets sold was for a home-grown movie.

The figures do not take into account the runaway success of multi-Oscar winning hit Slumdog Millionaire, which only went on general release around the world in January.

Danny Boyle's rags-to-riches tale has helped boost cinema takings this year, though.

Overall UK box office takings for 2009 so far are on course to beat last year's total of £850 million, with figures for the first half of the year up £90 million or 22 per cent on the same period in 2008.

Cinema admissions so far this year are also up on 2008, by 16 per cent.

Around the world, The Dark Knight – a joint US/UK production – was the most successful British film in 2008, taking around £600 million, while feel-good Abba musical Mamma Mia! took £69 million at the UK box office, making it the highest grossing film of all time in this country.

Film Minister Sion Simon said: "It should be clear to anyone from recent awards and box office successes that we are in the middle of a bumper time for British film, and today's remarkably buoyant set of statistics are clear evidence of that.

"We should all be proud of how well UK film is doing on the domestic and world stage at the moment, but the greatest credit should of course go to the production and acting talent that make this possible."

John Woodward, chief executive officer of the UK Film Council, said: "Billions at the box office and billions back to the UK economy – these are big numbers which underline the value of the UK film industry and the strength of our cultural talent.

"They also highlight just how important it is that we build on the many hard-won achievements and continue to invest in the long-term future of British film."

Harry Potter, Round 6: Darker, Richer and All Grown Up

The mood is dark. Death Eaters blight the skies, sent on their sorties by the fiendish Lord Voldemort, and in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, a grim fate encircles one teenage boy like a noose around his soul. The adult he reveres most in the world has given him a mission to destroy a hugely powerful wizard, yet as he gazes in a mirror, the quivering face staring back at him belies his resolve to do the deed. It's a dreadful burden on someone barely out of childhood, in his sixth year at Hogwarts. Will Draco Malfoy be able to do Voldemort's bidding and kill Albus Dumbledore?

Synopsis for Casablanca (1942)

Casablanca is the best from top 100 romantic movies all the time, I love this movie much, and the beautiful inggrid bergman as ilsa ilmun has made me watch this movie several time, here is little synopsis about this movie :

In the early years of World War II, the Moroccan city of Casablanca attracts people from all over. Many are transients trying to get out of Europe; a few are just trying to make a buck. Most of them -- gamblers and refugees, Nazis, resistance fighters, and plain old crooks -- find their way to Rick's Café Américain, a swank nightclub owned by American expatriate Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart). Though we learn later that Rick once harbored enough idealism to put himself at risk to fight facism, he's now embittered and cynical, professing to be neutral and detached: "I stick my neck out for nobody."

Ugarte (Peter Lorre) comes to Rick's with letters of transit he obtained by killing two German couriers. The papers allow the bearer to travel freely around German-controlled Europe, including to neutral Lisbon, Portugal; from Lisbon, it's relatively easy to get to the United States. They are almost priceless to any of the refugees stranded in Casablanca. Ugarte plans to make his fortune by selling them to the highest bidder, who is due to arrive at the club later that night. However, before the exchange can take place, Ugarte is arrested by the police under the command of Captain Louis Renault (Claude Rains). A corrupt Vichy official, Renault accommodates the Nazis. Unbeknownst to Renault and the Nazis, Ugarte had left the letters with Rick for safekeeping, because "...somehow, just because you despise me, you are the only one I trust."

Now the reason for Rick's bitterness re-enters his life. Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) arrives with her husband Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid) to purchase the letters. Laszlo is a renowned Czech Resistance leader who has escaped from a Nazi concentration camp. They must have the letters to escape to America to continue his work. At the time Ilsa first met and fell in love with Rick in Paris, she believed her husband had been killed. When she discovered that he was still alive, she left Rick abruptly without explanation and returned to Laszlo, leaving Rick feeling betrayed. After the club closes, Ilsa returns to try to explain, but Rick is drunk and bitterly refuses to listen.

The next night, Laszlo, suspecting that Rick has the letters, speaks with him privately about obtaining them. They're interrupted when a group of Nazi officers, led by Major Strasser (Conrad Veidt), begins to sing "Die Wacht am Rhein," a German patriotic song. Infuriated, Laszlo orders the house band to play "La Marseillaise." The band leader looks to Rick for guidance; he nods. Laszlo starts singing, alone at first, then long-suppressed patriotic fervor grips the crowd and everyone joins in, drowning out the Germans. In retaliation, Strasser orders Renault to close the club.

At different times Rick and Ilsa torment themselves by asking the club's piano player, Sam (Arthur "Dooley" Wilson), to play "As Time Goes By," a song they loved when they were together in Paris. The famous line "Play it again, Sam," which refers to this song, doesn't actually appear in the movie -- Ilsa says "Play it, Sam," and later, Rick says "Play it!"

Later that night, Ilsa confronts Rick in the deserted cafe. He refuses to give her the documents, even when threatened with a gun. She is unable to shoot, confessing that she still loves him. Rick decides to help Laszlo, leading her to believe that she will stay behind when Laszlo leaves.

Laszlo is jailed on a minor charge. Rick convinces Renault to release Laszlo, promising to set him up for a much more serious crime: possession of the letters of transit. However, Rick double crosses Renault, forcing him at gunpoint to assist in the escape. At the last moment, Rick makes Ilsa get on the plane to Lisbon with her husband, telling her that she would regret it if she stayed: "Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life."

Major Strasser drives up, tipped off by Renault, but Rick shoots him when he tries to intervene. When the police arrive, Renault saves Rick's life by telling them to "round up the usual suspects." He then recommends that they both leave Casablanca. They disappear into the fog with one of the most memorable exit lines in movie history: "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
