Screen Files Film Hall of Fame May 2012

So, I've already made The Fresh Prince of Bel Air as the first TV Hall of Famer, so now it's time for a movie to enter the hall. Like I said in the last post, I'll usually let people vote from a couple of options over the course of a month in the comment section and take that in account when deciding, but I've decided I just want to put something out there for the first inductions.

So, for a movie to be nominated and then inducted into the Hall of Fame, it has to fit two requirements:
1. I have to like,
2. It has to have been out for at least one year. So sadly, The Avengers, Chronicle, Moneyball, and the Muppets are all gonna have to wait to get nominated.

And the first inductee into the Screen Files Film Hall of Fame is:


3:10 to Yuma!!!!!!!!!!!


First I should probably clarify something: I'm talking about the remake. So, the remake of the hit western is about an Arizona rancher played by Christian Bale, wearing that beard he rocked in the first 1/4 of Batman Begins, whose farm is in danger of drying up and closing. To make money to feed his family, he agrees to help escort convicted murderer Ben Wade (Russel Crowe) to a train in Yuma that will bring him to prison. But, bad news, Wade's gang is hot on their trail. Everything about this movie rules: There's an abundance of kick ass gunfights, a great plot, awesome scenery, and two oscar-worthy performances by Bale and Crowe, particularly the later. Seriously, Crowe OWNS his role as the most menacingly charismatic bad guy ever. The movie is dark and violent, though occasionally very funny. Plus, ALAN TUDYK (OH MY GOD IT'S WASH!!) It's just flat out awesome, and that is what makes the first official Screen Archives Film Hall of Famer!
