I think I may have been put off listening to this when Clemmensen and Edmund were so negative about it. I will say I liked the film way more than I expected to, though.

Of the ones I've heard here, I think these seem fair - though I feel like I remember United 93 being a little better than that.

Lots of listening to do. I always feel I've heard The Lorax because I've heard Horton.

> 14. The Bourne Supremacy

I *think* I'd put Antz at the bottom of this pile. It's fun, of course, but the Ice Age scores are far more accomplished, Robots more catchy, and I sometimes think Ferdinand a small masterpiece, it's got such a blend of heart and flow. I can't find Agent Cody Banks in full anywhere...

> -----------------------

10 de-facto five-star scores, jolly good. I've tried to rank the top handful several times, and failed, but here goes again...

1. HTTYD2
2. Chicken Run
3. HTTYD3
4. HTTYD
5. Solo
6. Call of the Wild
7. Kung Fu Panda
8. Pan

And then I'm not sure. I do know I've never quite warmed to Paycheck as much as these others, though.

Curious to see Edmund chip in here.
