What is the greatest movie ever to begin with the letter "X"?
The 1987 movie Project X, starring Matthew Broderick, does not count. Neither does The X-Files Movie.

30. Well now xanadubration is over....
It was a world series bet..Had the Phillies not won I would have had to watch the 9/11 truther movie "Loose Change" (being a confirmed skeptic that would have been interesting).
You missed PeterU rocking the Xanadu avatar and he had a funny sigline.."don't blame me..its all turtlensue's fault"...

10.  That would have to be 'Xerox: Do You Copy?"
It was a promotional sales film for that fine company produced in the early 90's, complete with early 90's production values and a sort of tepid post-Top Gun feel to it (hence the "Do You Copy?"). I had to sit through it at least three times at two separate jobs, and it single-handedly made me want to return to the days of printing with moveable type on a Guttenberg press.

And there's even an IMDB link, believe it or not!

16. I know! Sick, isn't it?
The lengths companies to which companies will go to make themselves seem hip or edgy is really astonishing.

34. Any film with an oblique reference to Azathoth must get extra credit
The Crawling Chaos doesn't make a cameo in just any old movie, after all.
