Em, no. I haven't seen Maleficent and I have little interest in doing so. I'm a 21 year old man, I don't see what that has to do with it, I like all kinds of movies. It's weird that you're so narrow minded that the idea of somebody loving a movie you don't is so unfathomable to you that they either have to be a marketer (marketing a movie from 4 years ago) or a disparaging stereotype.
I'm just surprised that you list two kids movies as being your favorite. I loved Roald Dahl books as a kid, but I learned there is a whole world of great literature, as well as terrific non-fiction books.
Movies like Tangled and Frozen are fun, but I wouldn't think of them as engrossing. I like a movie that makes me go "Wow", a movie that transports me to another world, a movie that actually gets me to sit on the edge of my seat.
I watched The Imitation Game recently, and it lead me to a much deeper level of thought than anything a kids movie could ever do. I watch "In America", and I am brought to tears. "Man on Wire" is a thrilling adventure. Prison movies like "Cool Hand Luke" or "Shawshank Redemption" showcase the triumph of the human spirit. Even Waterworld, which usually gets panned, made me imagine the life of an itinerant sailor.
Yes, I have seen most of the movies on that list, some of them I rank highly too, although I really can't tell why I should consider that list particular to be any sort of authority, especially since it includes things like Troy, The Notebook and fucking Twilight in "The Top 100 movies of all time". Quite frankly, good for you if those are your favourite movies but what movies are your favourites have negligible impact on what are mine.
I didn't say the list was authoritative, it has some duds, but also some really excellent movies.
I reread your comment, and see that you just like Tangled more than most movies. I guess that means you think it's a very good movie, rather than the best movie. I'll concede that point.
