2008 - TV
Director: Joss Whedon
Starring: Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, Felicia Day
The best thing to emerge from that unpleasant writer's strike, Dr. Horrible technically aired online...so I guess I don't have to include it. But I love it so much that I have to. Come on, it's NPH. And he sings. What's not to love?
This is short and sweet, a tale of rivalry as only Whedon can tell it, and filled with enough songs to tide you over until you can watch the Buffy musical again. Dr. Horrible vs. Captain Hammer is now one of the great battles between good and evil, or evil and less evil. More evil? Wait... is there a good guy?
But really, it's all about a girl. And a Freeze Ray. But mostly, the girl.
So watch this one when you're snowed in this winter. It's light and fun (mostly) and has some really catchy tunes. NPH is brilliant, as usual, and you'll be quoting this long after you switch off the DVD player.
Yeah including this one is probably a rule breaker... but when it's this good who cares?
