RocMen High 5: Ranking the Pixar films

1. Monsters Inc. (2001): And I don't even like Billy Crystal, but this story is fantastic and his chemistry with John Goodman is awesome. Also features the late, great James Coburn. 2. WALL-E (2008): If you have not seen it yet, it will be different than you expect it to be. That is a promise. Already ranked No. 6 on IMDB.com's list of 250-best films of all time. Ratatouille (2007): Not a stretch to say that this might have been the best film High 5 saw in 2007. At least in the top 3. 4. The Incredibles (2004): Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter are great in lead roles, but to have a character knock-off of multiple Oscar-winning designer Edith Head was just genius. 5. Cars (2006): This might very be the last feature film starring Paul Newman, so it gets extra bonus points from High 5. Chad Roberts, Conversion Editor/Overnight
