Top Five Best 2-Letter Movies Ever

"Brevity is the soul of wit."  Someone said that once, I think.  I've never really understood it, but according to google, brevity is a comic strip I've never read.

5. F/X
Bryan Brown plays a man who uses a shitload of makeup to elude a bunch of scumbags.  Switch "elude" to "attempt to bone" and you have a documentary about Snooki.

...stunning.

4. It
The feel good story of Pennywise, a lovable clown who finds a group of children and devotes his life to entertaining and captivating them with seltzer water and pies in the face. Simply heartwarming.

Kids love him!

3. Up
The most widely beloved animated feature since the one Pixar made a year before it.

Close enough.

2.  Pi
Darren Aronofsky's prequel to the American Pie saga. Memorable scenes include the time Jim's parents walked in on him thrusting his junk into a supercomputer. If only we didn't have to keep suffering through the catchphrase "this one time, at stock market..."

Starting the American Pie franchise depressed Aronofsky so much, he directed Requiem for a Dream

1.  ET
A nice reminder that American hatred of brown aliens didn't just crop up after 9/11.  This film also contains the best role of Drew Barrymore's career.

Police in Arizona are trained to lure illegals with promise of Reese's Pieces.

Dishonorable mention:  RV
This movie is actually worse than having to go across country in an RV.

Yes, this is actually a movie that someone wrote, someone else read and went "sure, sounds great", and spent millions of dollars on making.  And for some reason Robin Williams thought "yeah, I don't have enough money yet this sounds like something I should do."  And then someone else decided to make this poster with the tagline "On a family vacation, no one can hear your scream."  And then people actually went and saw it.  Jesus, I wouldn't see this if I was poisoned and the recipe for the antidote was spelled out in the end credits.
