Alright, this could be the final nail in my coffin. If I were Kevin Costner, this post could be my Waterworld. With my admission that I watched the Twilight movies, you guys have already slapped the ghey tag on my arse faster the kid who peaks through his blindfold pins the tail on the donkey at a '70s era birthday party. But Juno is one of the greatest movies of all time. On any given day, it's a tossup between Juno and Inglorious Basterds for my favorite movie. Nary a wittier movie hath ever been scripted. It alone elevates Diablo Cody to Tarantino or Coen-esque status, "Jennifer's Body" be damned (well, literally, it kinda was ). Granted, a la Kevin Smith, the wittiness of Cody's dialogue crosses the border of pretentiousness like Mexicans over an Obama-guarded Texas wall.
Ellen Page was beyond brilliant, and while admittedly not as fap-worthy as ScarJo or Beckinsale in a latex or Kitty Pryde leather catsuit, her portrayal (sans belly) puts her at the top of my celebrity crush list. Juno is the textbook example of why wit and intelligence trumps a set of 36 DD's. And while I'm on Ellen Page (pun intended), "Hard Candy" is one of the most badass movies of all time.

Yea, Juno was good. I didn't like it the first time I saw it because I was kinda forced into seeing it but after seeing it a few times since, I enjoy it. Solid flick.

Nothing to be ashamed of Juno is a very good film. Ellen Page is brilliant in it.

Every single post in this thread gets dumber than the last, take a break from movie reviews for a while and go watch something:

NOt in the top 100
quote:

Every single Mel Brooks and Christopher Guest and Cohen brothers movie says hello
quote:

It alone elevates Diablo Cody to Tarantino or Coen-esque status,

I dont think you understand Tarantino's level
quote:

horrible analogy is horrible
quote:

debatable, but i there are much much much better examples of this than her. Like Natalie Potman or Rashida Jones for example.

The Godfather, Star Wars, Every Tarantino movie, Scarface, American Gangster, Raging Bull, Casino, Kick-arse, Independence Day, Watchman,....... say hi

It was a cleverly written movie with nice performances. It is very good. Does not rate among the greatest of all time.

Uhhh, why don't we just see what happens.

Disturbing and interesting. Not sure about badass of all time.

I thought it was O.K. but didn't get the hype.

ETA: Goes to look for thread that proved his gayness.

Just posting this gay reference was gay.

How does a 50 year old self proclaimed movie buff consider Juno and inglorious bastards the two greatest movies of all time? Have you never watch an Alfred Hitchcock, Ford, Scorsese, Kurosawa, Chaplin, Coen, or Kubrick film? I mean really, wft.

It's a great movie, but you're reaching.

I love Bateman's and Page's awkward relationship.

It's a good movie, but not a GOAT. I liked the weird music in it.

What has it been today people proposing some pretty good films are among the best of all time. Juno is yet again not even close.

I liked it.I'm a little older.They'd lock me up for having an "Ellen Page" crush.I like the kid that knocked her up.The one that was in Superbad.Also I like the song they play together at the end.It was a cute movie.If it's your top movie,well,you'll enjoy R-rated movies when you get old enough.

eta: Wut.I'm confused.With the love of Twilight and Juno I thought.Hold on.Wut....
