Definitely top 10 all time. The spelling makes it even cooler--combination of ratchet and wretched.

I can't find that movie anywhere, but yeah, cool name. (If you're as old as you're whining about, that should be at least a little bit funny. 8-) )

Now how in God's name did I miss that one, and that is a cool name. For a tie breaker, it depends on what the "T." stands for.
