Hmm. It seems like they’re forgetting a really great film on this list. It’s the one that starts with some well-dressed men having a good time on horsies, a scene that is being viewed upon by some other well-dressed men who are flying. The audience asks - has there been a malfunction in the time and space continuum that allows cowboys, spaceman and Roman gladiators to co-exist? No, the men in this universe just like dressing up and subverting gender expectations! Those men were flying out of joy for their friend who just got engaged! He is also full of joy and merrily skips down the steps of his palace. This joyous occasion, however, meets a deadly end when his fiancée is murdered. The murderer is white but this story unfortunately takes place in America. The formerly engaged man walks through the streets in hopes of a lead and finds two black men calling one another “the man”. They are actually congratulating each other on a recent school test for which they both received As. To the racist man, however, this reads as the two men celebrating their roles in the successful killing. C’mon man. The focus is again on this recent school test as we transition to a teen boy insulting his girlfriend for not passing it and for not taking school seriously. The power of their love is strong enough to overcome her shortcomings though. Anyway, the formerly engaged man takes his revenge on the teens who he believes murdered his fiancée by feeding them a poisonous burger. It’s really beautiful how both the contrast between love and hate and the hateful acts love will drive us to do are so on display here. The man is now fueled by his taste for blood and takes his anger out on those around him. He has a series of destructive outbursts but eventually realizes he needs to settle down. What he really wants is a family. Instead of filing for adoption (he certainly can’t have government people looking into his life), he just takes a random child away from their mother off the street. This is pretty weird but to be fair he can’t stop fantasizing about the dream life he could lived with his wife - so the baby stealing is okay, I guess. Things go south when the child spots the many dead bodies he has buried around the house. Two social workers come to the home and find the room where had a tiger maul one of his victims. A trial takes place and he is found guilty of murder by the jury in an 11-1 vote (the “not guilty” voter was his friend). Somehow he escapes and joins the army where he can further exploit his love for killing. How’s he do this? The usual way - killing everybody involved in the case and hiding them in his closet. These were a couple of badass dudes who escaped though and they’re on a motorcycle-powered quest to find the man who killed an entire courtroom. Unfortunately they find out they have to go across seas. Naturally, they hop on a boat and all seems to be well until the boat fucking sinks. Things just can’t go right for these guys! The filmmakers kinda realized at this point that this plot wasn’t going anywhere so they just abandoned it. We transition back to those test-taking teenagers from before. They heard about two lovers dying on a boat and thought “There’s nothing more romantic than dying in the midst of passionate lovemaking. Let’s put ourselves in a deadly situation while making out”. The filmmakers were done with those two dumbasses as well. Back to the costumed horse-riding men at the beginning! They’re fighting over what their next outfit will be! Some of them remark that this meeting is so boring that they wish they had slept in instead. The cowboys are also having a fight over the future of their outfits! At least they’re trying to keep the fits fresh! While the “Battle of the Drip “ is raging, technological developments are sweeping the country. Uh oh. Are robots taking over? Two brave journalists decide to find out. We’ll come back to that later (I think) but first let’s see how our soldier is holding up. Oh wow he’s a war hero returning home and he’s got a new girl! Naturally when the cops come to his home, he takes to violence as the answer. He only slaps the black one, though, so it doesn’t even matter if he killed all those people cause that mf is cancelled. He’s in jail now and finds out how those police found him in the first place. His girl was an undercover cop! Now that’s gotta be the end of that plot right? Let’s return to those robot detectives. ROBOTS ARE REAL AND THEY’RE TAKING OVER!!! WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO???”, they ask, “EXCEPT JUMP OFF THIS FUCKING CLIFF BECAUSE HUMANITY IS DOOMED!!!” Wow, powerful stuff. Surely these robots… wait a minute, we’re back to the killer plot already? Oh great he’s escaped and back in the army again. He’s also now taking advantage of the robot apocalypse and sending them to do his work for him. How efficient! Things are also rolling along nicely for the costumers who have decided they’re now going to be dressing up as… women! Good for them. The cowboys are still cowboys though there are some objections to this. It’s clear that the drag queens are far more satisfied with their arrangement. While most of the unhappy cowboys just moan around, one of them is proactive and says “I have an idea. What about Arab as a theme instead?” Leader of team Cowboy decides this idea is so fucking stupid that he needs to shoot the idiot who came up with it. We transition back to those stupid test-failing lovers who were apparently unsuccessful in their last attempt to die the most romantic death. They’re so stupid that they think going on just any boat will kill them. The man is mad as hell that the world will not simply let them die. They ask around how to die without actively killing themselves and someone tells them they can die of cringe if they watch a really bad theater production. Nope. Doesn’t work and they actually find the show quite funny. Next they try drag racing. During the race, they start thinking about that play they saw and how funny it was. This causes them to be distracted and start a deadly pile-up. Even in their very last moments, they’re still thinking about that hilarious play. They remember how funny it was when the mustache guy made the bread rolls dance. It wasn’t really THAT funny but they’re idiots. In the afterlife, the man celebrates this victory. They truly are “flying high now”. RIP. Remember those detectives from before? One of them came back and found a girl who doesn’t believe his theory about the robot apocalypse. He shows her what he believes is evidence of robot life and she’s like “Sir, those aren’t robots. Those are sculptures of presidents”. We’re back to the killer whose identity has been discovered by a military nurse. She informs government officials who blow up the whole camp. Unfortunately the man escaped and he’s thirstier than ever for the taste of blood. It is hinted that he may actually be a robot, (sort of) tying the film’s many threads together. The film ends with people celebrating in the street as they think the most prolific killer in modern history has finally been defeated. If only they knew what was awaiting in part 2…
The news spread that the killer has escaped. They search through the mountains and through his old palace. Ultimately, he is spotted by a neighbor. He has broken into some random couple’s apartment and the man who really lives there screams for his girlfriend to let him in. The girlfriend was kicked out earlier and is now hitchhiking. Meanwhile, Cowboy discrimination is running rampant. Most people think the idea is just stupid. That neighbor from before reported the killer’s location and is now having his picture taken and being praised as a hero. If only society could be so kind to this dejected and lonely Cowboy. Aww they just won’t take his look seriously. Oh fuck the killer escaped again. He has the hitchhiker woman killed as he thinks she’s the only person who knows he’s out free. He realizes that if he’s going to continue his terrorizing streak, he should probably get a disguise. He decides on a gorilla suit, an idea partially inspired by that episode of Spongebob. The idea seems really brilliant to him because if, say, some kids were skipping through a field, it would seem really off if some man were to just jump out of nowhere and start attacking him. However, a gorilla attack there would be completely natural and would even serve as caution for the kids to be more careful. Win-win! Word spreads of a large killer gorilla and one government official performs an enthralling presentation on how the beast makes its kills. The man takes off his gorilla suit when he thinks he’s alone (it gets pretty sweaty) and is then swarmed by a group of “police”. Only they’re not police. They’re costumed men of the Mexican division and they know the killer gorilla is a man in a suit because they’ve been to the store that sold the suit. They want to learn his secrets as their costumes cause ridicule and his makes him the most talked about man in the country. This is a very important scene as it ties the two main plot points - the killer and the costumes - together. Soon, men of all divisions realize that wearing divisions can serve more of a purpose than fun - it can give them power. For example, one man realizes that if he pretends to be a Veteran, his family might actually love him. The train (literally) goes off the rails though. Another man pretends to be a famous guy to get attention, but he ends up feeling bad for deceiving people. Other guys pretend to be dwarves to spy on people (c’mon guys, that’s just creepy). This makes the mental patients really happy as they finally have a way to break out of their hospitals. Back to the killer who, in the midst of a starting a new trend, has finally discovered what he was looking for all along - the man who murdered his wife. It was his gay lover from years ago who wanted him all to himself. The man decides he’s done with killing and gives his next disguise model - a bird - away to someone who could really use it. However, the fight for who can take on the bird design literally starts an all-out war. The man, with his life of crime behind him, decides to enter the working world. He becomes an assistant of an old friend. As a nice memorial to that test-failing couple from before, the play they loved and laughed about in their moments has won numerous awards. The actress feels bad that she couldn’t share the moment with her biggest fans though. One of the cowboys punches leader of team Cowboy for his original idea as, with the advancement in costume designs, they’re now more of a laughing stock than ever. The big new development is that the killer has somehow worked his way up through the ranks and became the president of the United States of America. His first mission is to spread racism across the country and make sure every little kid knows the big word. He’s also expected to crack down on this costume shit because it’s not even clear who’s human anymore. Grown men are pretending to be cute aliens to get into kids’ hearts and that’s undeniably problematic. The President instead gives a speech about how these people still have the same “soul” as you and me - not black people, though. He’s still racist. One of those men in drag from way before looks around and sees that many around him now have the same idea. He’s mad because he was an originator and he’ll never get the credit he deserves. At least people have taken on his idea though. Nobody is dressing up as cowboys anymore. At this point, things are getting more extreme and people are taking to mutilating their faces and bodies. To bring the Cowboy look back, one man tries to convince a woman that his lasso gives him magical powers so that she’ll want to get with him. This woman is so annoyed that she turns to the President to help her be free of these annoying and over-confident men. His solution is to hold a Cowboy meeting on a train that he derails. The President suspects that the women didn’t actually care about the cowboys but instead wanted to get with the most powerful man in the country. She is successful and her dreams of becoming a movie star are achieved. The robot threat from earlier is back as life beyond Earth is detected. The President doesn’t really care until a robot kills his wife. There is only one thing to do - battle the head robot. As it turns out, the train “accident” did not kill the cowboys. There is an air of sadness as they return home and know their time has gone and the entire world is against them. There is also an air of sadness in the theater as the deceased couple’s favorite show stages its last performance and the only audience members are dogs. There’s no use in theater anymore as the living, breathing world is now dominated by people in costumes pretending to be someone they’re not. However, these costumed weirdos are our last hope. They’re the only ones who can defeat the robot overlord after the President was unsuccessful. They make it through the map. Through the impossible maze of stairs, through the camp of cruelty and through the desert of wonders. They unfortunately end up in the wrong place and their leader asks for directions (they are not met with kindness). Only they actually didn’t end up at the wrong place. It was the home of the robot overlord and he dances in the street after duping them (he must use an umbrella as he can’t get his robot exterior wet). Now the people on the good team are fighting with each other. Back home, the President takes in the moment with a hit of his cigarette. Only it’s not a cigarette… IT’S ROBOT FUEL. This was his plan all along!!! He knew those costumed goofballs would be unsuccessful in their journey. He wasn’t battling the head robot because he wanted to destroy the robots. He just wanted the head position. And who was it that killed his wife??? Well, I don’t think you can all guess. He had already closed the door on her before he killed her in cold blood. Ultimately, the man lived an exceptional life and his robot identity will never be discovered. He will be remembered for everything except who he truly was. THE END!!!
Another classic write up on one of the most convoluted movies ever made. Uncreatively Named Channel, but very creative when it comes to making a story out of a mish-mashed montage of movies. Well done. Thanks for the time you took to write this masterpiece. Hollywood should turn this into a movie. PS. I didn't realise how many cowboys were on this sequence until you emphasised it. Cowboys, guns and murder... welcome to American cinema.

It took you 13 years to make this but it was totally worth the wait
It's a comment like this that makes all the effort worth it.. thank you!

Lord of the rings and Titanic are criminally low on this list
ben-hur number 100? really?
Yes it’s been demoted, and not just by newer movies…we’ll always disagree. Personally I think it’s top 10.
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn
