      Every single movie in the animation section was either produced by Disney, a company later purchased by Disney, or Disney acts as the current distributor of the film.

        Any ideas on a US-produced animated movie not by Disney that warrants a place on that list?

          I can't say that I follow animated moves all that closely to know what's out there. The few that I have seen and liked have all been made by those studios, but that doesn't mean I've seen the best to be offered.

              Does disney own mtv?

              Beavis and Butthead movie sucked. But if they did a movie of them watching gawd awful videos that would place highly in mookie's top 27

                      Kingsman is making a play to move onto this list as "best do it in the arsehole" movie. made a run on the movie channels recently and i'll bet mookie watched it 40 times.

                          If this means what I think it means that probably goes to Last Tango in Paris (consensual) or Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (not consensual).

                            No love for "Crank"? Added bonus: Crank's scene happened in a very public place, in front of Asian tourists with lots of cameras.
                            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
