On today's AOL/Moviefone list. Serentity is #5, behind South Park and Star Trek II. So happy to see the BDM getting at least some of the praise it deserves. They also have a user poll, so get there and vote the BDM into more people's view.

5. 'Serenity' (2005)
Why It's Better: Joss Whedon was able to take his TV space Western, 'Firefly,' and make it BIGGER. With the same wry dialogue, compelling characters and dang rickety spaceship, the movie is addictive fun. 'Coz, sometimes bigger IS better.

Vote!

But what I think the #5 means is that it's #5 on the actual AOL list.

The X-Files is also on there! Woo!

Thanks for telling us about this!

Come on, guys, let's vote! In public opinion, we only have 4%! We can do better than that.

Shiny! We need to get some 'coats voting over there. Serenity is only at 6%, does that seem right to you? Also Wonder Woman gets some love in the "Ones we can't wait for" column.

The fact that Charlie's Angels and Brady Bunch are even on the list shows us how big of morons AOL users are. I wouldn't take this list for gospel. LOL.

You're right, that worked for me, too.

Although, clearing cookies & history as someone else mentioned will also work.

I agree. I could see Serenity coming in behind The Fugitive or The Untouchables, but Charlie's Angels? With 13% of the vote??? Don't seem right to me.

When I read them name Charlie's Aangels and saw it was doing better than Firefly I somehow had to think about going on a rampage... I wonder why?

Fugitive and Addams Family I think make sense. Untouchables just barely (OK movie but Sean Connery did not deserve an oscar for that crappy accent he ended up pulling off), but Charlies Angels? I mean come on... it had chicks... and thats all I could really give it for. Them trying to retrieve stolen software? How about trying to find some decent script an story?

We just have to hope that all the attention that Firefly/Serenity are getting now will bring in new folks to the 'verse.

More folks we have, the better the chances of a BDSequel or a BDMiniseries.
