really hate snakes. Hate 'em! Last week we asked you to write funny captions for a photo from
Speed Racer, which hits theaters with a whole lotta color this weekend. Congrats to
Anthony M. for painting a very bizarre, yet hilarious picture in our heads. (We still love ya BK!)

Anthony M.2. "Mario's Illegitimate Family..... (shhh, princess peach doesn't know)" --
Joshua B.3. "Just keep your hands at 10 and 2, buckle your seatbelt, and are you sure you don't want to put some clothes on?" --
Nathan T.

This week, well, you may know this guy from somewhere. Can't place the face? Here, we'll help -- it starts with an 'Indiana' and ends with a 'Jones'. Put it together and you have one of this summer's most anticipated films -- not to mention we've been looking forward to this sequel for the past 20 years. But before
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hits theaters on May 22, you're going to want to get reacquainted with an old friend -- and that's where we come in: The winners of our three favorite captions will take home one Indiana Jones The Adventure Collection DVD boxed set, which includes:
Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Temple of Doom &
The Last Crusade. That's it to the right; ain't it purty? (Click to enlarge.) In honor of our friend Indy, it's now time for you to start whippin' out those captions! Sound off below ...

Read the official rules for this contestLast week, we asked you to give us your most creative captions for a photo from the new movie
Iron Man (which, in case you didn't know, is quickly becoming one of the best reviewed superhero movies of all time). In exchange for your words of wisdom, we decided to toss a brand new LG "the V" cell phone -- plus a super cool
Iron Man poster -- to 10 of you. 10! Why? Because we're completely out of our minds -- that's why! (And because we love our readers more than anything. Awww.) Congrats to our ten winners, listed below and after the jump.

1. "As you can see, Flavor Flav and I are now engaged." --
Nathan T.2. "That's right, it's all fun and games until someone trips and falls on a Lite Brite..." --
Eric W.3. "I want you to draw me like one of your French girls wearing this ... only this!" --

Do you hear that? Smell it? Oh yes, it's summer -- and it's finally here (in movie form, that is)! This week on Insert Caption, we're gettin' our feet wet on a little film called Iron Man. You may have heard us talk about it once or twice before -- it's a small, character-driven piece about ... screw it -- it's friggin' IRON MAN! Now check this out: The 10 winning captions (yup, 10!) will fly away with one LG "the V" cell phone (pictured right, click to learn more) and one Iron Man poster. 10 phones. 10 posters.

We're exposing our round, shiny hearts to all of you in the hopes you'll reward us with humor in the comments below (we're such a cheap date) ...

Welcome back to another fun-filled edition of Insert Caption -- the game
Totally Wicked Awesome Magazine called, "Delightful, Delicious and a Damn Good Time!" Last week we asked you to give us your bestest captions for a photo from this week's new release,
The Forbidden Kingdom -- starring Jackie Chan, Jet Li and some white kid, who, judging from the picture, is quite obviously stuck in the middle with you ... and I'm wondering what it is I should do. Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right ... okay, that's enough. Congrats to our three winners below ...

1. "The MPAA's ongoing battle with illegal movie downloads in China as an interpretive dance routine." --
Todd G.2. "This is my dance space, this is your dance space. Spaghetti arms!" --
Kathi F. 3. "Oh I know this! Wax on! Wax ggghhhhttt!" --

SNL pals Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as they prepare to launch their new comedy,
Baby Mama. The three winning captions this week will carry away one
Baby Mama poster, one
Baby Mama t-shirt, one
Baby Mama baseball hat and one
Baby Mama baby blanket. (One
Baby Mama baby unfortunately not included since you have to make that yourself.) Now push ... harder ... and sound off below!

Welcome to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game where we provide the photo and you provide the funny! Last week, we asked you to throw on your lamest Hawaiian t-shirt and give us your best captions for a photo from
Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Congrats to our three winners below for sharing their warmth, their passion, their creativity ... and their ability to conjure up a mental image of Jonah Hill on a spit. Our apologies to you Mr. Hill -- we still love ya man!

1. "I was speaking figuratively when I said I had a lot of baggage." --
Mike R.2. "Crap... I thought I ditched the Verizon guy at the pig roast!" --
Russell K.3. "They just put Jonah Hill on a spit and fired up the tiki torches. I'm outta here!" --

Jet Li and
Jackie Chan. Their new movie,
The Forbidden Kingdom, arrives in theaters on April 18 -- and ... I just feel so bad for that poor, innocent white kid right now. It'd be hard enough running into one of those guys in a dark alley -- imagine getting stuck between both AND you have to go to the bathroom
real bad? Ouch. The three lucky winners from this week will run (as fast as they can) away with one
Forbidden Kingdom poster, one pack of
Forbidden Kingdom trading cards, one box of green tea and one container of incense. Hmm, I smell a lot of captions this week ... and for some reason they smell like burnt roses with a splash of lemon vanilla? Sound off below ...

Welcome to another edition of Insert Caption -- the online game all of your friends are ridiculously addicted to! Last week, we asked you to take a real good look at a photo from the new movie
Leatherheads. From there we wanted you to stand in front of a mirror, close your eyes and make a wish. Still don't look like George Clooney? Drats. Sorry. While we try to figure out what's wrong with our Clooney Look-a-Like 3000 machine, let's give our three caption winners from last week a healthy virtual round of applause.

1. "Here, take my hand. I've never lost a game of "Red Rover" and I ain't gonna start now." --
Mike R.2. "I thought you meant the *proverbial* s--- was going to hit the *proverbial* fan." --
Mike Z.3. "Trust me...a pot-bellied pig demands empathy before it will become a housepet." --
Andrew W.See full image and all captions
And speaking of things that deserve a round of applause, this week we're heading to Hawaii with a photo from the upcoming (hysterical) comedy
Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Jason Segel stars as a guy whose hottie girlfriend (Kristen Bell) dumps him hard. When he decides to take a recovery trip to Hawaii, he unfortunately didn't realize he'd be staying at the same hotel as his ex and her new man. Don't you hate it when that happens? The three lucky winners from this week will surf away with one
Forgetting Sarah Marshall poster, one
Forgetting Sarah Marshall t-shirt, one
Forgetting Sarah Marshall tank top and one
Forgetting Sarah Marshall beach towel. With all that to show off to your friends, one thing's for sure: You definitely will
not forget about this movie.

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game even your parents can't resist playing! Last week, we asked you to strap on your hottest piece of exercise wear in order to give us the wittiest caption for a photo from the new film Run, Fat Boy, Run. Things didn't get too physical in the comments section, and I think we all agreed that Simon Pegg was definitely NOT bringing sexy back. However, according to our winner Christina D., he might be bringing something just a tad less ... manageable.

1. "So...Bleeker. Juno got you pregnant back?" -- Christina D.
2. "Simon heard Hans' pickup line and smirked at the irony that he actually had tickets to the gun show." -- Eric W.
3. "I knew I recognized you... You were in the Olivia Newton John Video 'Physical' huh?" -- Josh B.

This week we're sticking with boys who like to get dirty and sweaty. Not boys, men! Men who like to play with balls. (I think I'll stop here.) Yes, we're here to talk about Leatherheads -- that upcoming old school football flick starring George Clooney, John Krasinski and Renée Zellweger. The three sports behind our favorite captions will walk away with one Leatherheads poster, one Leatherheads t-shirt, one Leatherheads hat and one Leatherheads calendar. Not to mention you'll score a winning touchdown with our staff. So lace up gang, and give us everything you've got!

Welcome back to another installment of Insert Caption -- recently hailed as the number one most addictive online game by the staff at Cinematical and Moviefone. Last week, we asked you to cuddle up next to James McAvoy and Keira Knightley (which one do you think hogs the bed?) and give us your best captions for a photo from Atonement. There was a DVD and two pretty awesome beach cruisers at stake for one lucky winner. Congrats to Shane M. for blaming the whole thing on a little girl with a big mouth (I guess it's better than blaming it on a little guy with big muscles).

1. "I think we should blame it on Briony. What could she possibly do to get back at us?" -- Shane M.
See full image and all captions
And speaking of little guys and big muscles, this week we're taking a look at a photo from the very funny Run, Fat Boy, Run (which hits theaters on March 28), starring the always-reliable Simon Pegg as a guy who takes on some serious training in order to win back the girl he let get away. And if that doesn't look exactly like me when I'm at the gym -- wow, it's like staring into a wimpy mirror. Maybe I should shut up now. Anyway, winners of our three favorite captions will run, not walk, away with one Run, Fat Boy, Run poster, one sports bottle, one sweat band, one pair of running shorts and one Nike jacket. C'mon, it's officially Spring -- time to climb out of that cave and get into shape! Sound off below fitness freaks.

Welcome all to another unbelievable edition of Insert Caption (as seen on the widely popular Cinematical.com)! Last week, we asked you folks to put on your best Jerry Seinfeld impersonation for an image from the comedian's animated flick
Bee Movie (now out on DVD). While we got a lot of captions with the words 'honey' and 'what's the deal with ..., ' I don't believe we received any that went something like, "What's the deal with honey?" Yeah ... so what's the deal with that? Congrats to
David L. for providing us with a winning caption ... about nothing.

1. "It's not so much that he talks, dear, but that he's actually talking about NOTHING!" -- David L.
2. "Yes, I get it dear, "Bee Mine." But this, this is my freakin' Valentine's Day
gift???" -- Eric S.
3. "I'm sorry sweetie, were you talking? I was just thinking about my enormous chin." -- Eric A.

Welcome back to another fantastical edition of Insert Caption -- where you write something funny and we give you free stuff. This week is packed with announcements, so we're gonna jump right in. First off, remember that Vespa we gave away two weeks ago? You remember -- it was only the greatest prize we've ever put up in the history of the site. Well, we all debated this one hardcore, but there was one caption that just hit everyone in a certain spot, in a certain way, and so congrats to Colt H. for giving us the following winning caption:

1. "When Harry DIDN'T Meet Sally." -- Colt H.

Last week, we asked you to scope out a photo from this weekend's big release, 10,000 B.C., and provide us with the wittiest caption possible. I have to hand it to you folks this time around, because the captions rocked! While, as always, your filthy minds were at play (leave that poor cat alone!), three captions stood out among the rest:

1. A guy with a penchant for older women realizing too late that his new spray deodorant which promised to "attract cougars" meant it literally. -- Ryan T.
2. Unlike his great grandson Siegfried, Hershel wasn't quite so animal savvy. -- Eric W.
3. Yes, I definitely want my nipples pierced, I was just hoping you had a smaller needle. -- Julie D.

Finally, this week we're looking for your best captions for the below photo from the very funny animated flick Bee Movie, starring the voice of Jerry Seinfeld as a bee who leaves the hive, learns humans are stealing honey for their own consumption and proceeds to sue the entire human race. The three winning captions will walk away with their very own copy of Bee Movie on DVD -- for those times when you and your honey are in the mood to snuggle up to something sweet. (Aren't I lame?)

They're all free! Yes, welcome back to another installment of our universe famous caption contest.

In the meantime, how about you give us your best captions for the photo below from Roland Emmerich's 10,000 B.C. The top three captions from this week will walk away with (deep breath) one 10,000 B.C. The Legend tee, one 10,000 B.C. beanie, one 10,000 B.C. weathered baseball cap, one saber tooth necklace, one set of 10,000 B.C. photo postcards in a notebook, one set of lenticular buttons and one wooden pyramid puzzle.

Welcome friends to what has to be the most exciting Insert Caption in the history of caption contests around the world! This week, we have something so special for you that I can hardly write about it without watching the
jealousy literally pour out my body. Seriously. It's disgusting. The jealousy just pours out into this liquid goo that sticks to everything. This week, we're wrapping our caption claws around Summit Entertainment's Penelope, starring Christina Ricci, James McAvoy and Reese Witherspoon. Now check this out -- one Grand Prize winner will ride away with a brand spanking new yellow Vespa LX 50 (pictured right, and courtesy of Vespa -- click on the image for a larger version).
That's right! And all you have to do is come up with the wittiest caption for the photo of Christina Ricci on a park bench below. The contest officially begins right now, and you have until 12:01am on Wednesday, February 27th to enter. For more on Penelope, check out the film's official website, and sound off below!

Last week, we asked you to come up with captions for a photo from Charlie Bartlett -- and as much as we loved your toe-tapping toilet humor, we ultimately decided that Josh B. provided all the right caption-winning ingredients.

Look at movie photo. Insert caption. Win awesome prizes. Repeat. Last week, we asked you to get all kinds of witty for a photo from the new romantic comedy Definitely, Maybe, starring Ryan Reynolds as a guy who definitely knows how to entertain little Abigail Breslin with stories from his past. Throw a bunch of C.D.'s (what are those?) into the equation, and the musical references -- combined with your admiration for Mr. Reynolds -- were plentiful (and somewhat hilarious). Congrats to Bob B. who turned Ashlee Simpson (who's she?) into a household name ... again.

1. "I don't know how she does it, but Ashlee Simpson really knows how to speak to me in a way few artists can." -- Bob B.
2. "Ryan comes clean after castmates uncover a long hidden secret from his past, as Ricky Reynolds, the first American boy in the 1984 reformation of the boy band Menudo." -- Eric W.
3. "I'll be honest with you, I love his music, I do, I'm a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman"". -- Anthony G.

This week, we're heading back to high school with the ever-so-optimistic Charlie Bartlett. The film stars Anton Yelchin as a rich kid who becomes the self-appointed psychiatrist to the student body of his new high school. (And can you guess where he holds most of his sessions? Hint: There's more than enough paper to go around.) One lucky grand prize winner will get to take home a totally sweet original Charlie Bartlett painting designed by pro skater/icon Steve Caballero. You can check out the painting to the right, and click on it for a larger version. Sound off below fellow captioners ... but do take it easy on the toilet humor. Zing!

Welcome to another fun-tastic edition of Insert Caption! Last week we asked you to give us your best captions for a photo from this weekend's new release, Fool's Gold. And gosh, we never knew so many of you were obsessed with a shirtless Matthew McConaughey. Is it the muscles? It's the muscles, ain't it? Congrats to Alex C. for dishing out a Dazed and Confused reference that was just too good to pass up.

1. "My drawin' skills... every year I get older, but they stay the same age." -- Alex C.
2. "I think this scene right here would be a great opportunity for me to take my shirt off." -- Radu M.
3. "Here, let me draw it out for you. You see, I take two steps forward, and you take two steps back. We come together 'cuz opposites attract. Get it?" -- KOW

What makes a film romantic? Is it the setting, the dialogue, the actors, the sex? And when your snuggling up next to your significant other this Valentine's Day, which films will you prefer to slide into the DVD player? Moviefone has assembled the definitive list -- the top 25 romance films of all time -- and now it's up to you to decide what they got right, what they got wrong and what they didn't get at all. Of course, Casablanca tops off the list at number one (is there a list in which Casablanca is not featured in the numero uno spot?), but following closely behind are Titanic (#2), Wuthering Heights (#3), An Affair to Remember (#4) and Gone with the Wind (#5). Obviously, when we're talking romance flicks, they don't make them like they used to.
When it comes to films made within the past few years, we don't find one until Brokeback Mountain shows up at number 12, followed by Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind at number 15, and last year's Atonement at 18. Personally, I have a few issues with placement -- not so much with the films themselves -- like why Sleepless in Seattle is at 25 when it should've been higher. Films that didn't make the cut? Surprisingly, not many romantic comedies made the list. Even though they rely more on humor, some of us enjoy a little laughter with our cheesy romance. That being said, why not throw When Harry Met Sally a bone? Or even last year's Knocked Up? Either way, let us know what you think about the list below -- which films belong in different spots, which don't belong on the list at all and which are your favorites?
