Before I launch into a long blog extolling the virtues of something I've watched many times I'd like to add a disclaimer: Yes I know this isn't a feature film, but I consider it a short film as although it was originally released as a mini-series on the internet, it's now on DVD, and I've always watched it as one thing, not three parts.
With that out the way I can get on to the brilliance of the show, a musical tragicomedy about a super-villain, his arch nemesis and the girl he loves.
There are just so many great things about Dr. Horrible, the characters are all brilliantly acted, we have a superhero and a super-villain and somehow we all empathise with the villain. The plot line is great and the songs all brilliant, the ending is just gut-wrenchingly sad and the comedy permeates everything from Captain Hammer: "These are not the hammer.... the hammer is my penis" to Neil Patrick Harris's exquisite comic timing.
One of my favourite things ever, not just films... things.
EDIT: This isn't really Film 47, it should have been either 6 or 7 as I saw it around that time first, but it's easier putting it at 47 than re jigging the whole order.
