THE GOOD THE BAD THE WEIRD (2008)

Kim Jee-woon nails the whole American/spaghetti western mythos, only here set in the rough and tumble gun-toting world of 1930's Manchuria. Crammed with nonstop action and terrific comedy, this is the kind of joyous absurdity of well-choreographed excess that makes me absolutely love movies.

One of the most over-the-top cool titles of 2010. Bar none.
