My top 5 Favorite Movies This Year

benyjets23

I have gone to a movie per week this year. I have decided on a top 5 list of my favorites:

1.) Blood Diamond (The Acting, The Tension, The Action, The Back Ground Context)

2.) The Departed (The Acting, The Tension, The Cast)

3.) The Nativity Story (The Cultural portrayal and its accuracy, The Manger moment)

4.) Stranger Than Fiction (The concept, Dustin Hoffman and his coffee addiction)

5.) Babel (The Tension, The interweaving of 4 story lines, the tragedy in an indifferent world)

Any thoughts or critiques of my list? Do you have your own list? I know we still have two weeks left, but I seriously doubt any of the movies in the next two weeks will make a dent.

I rather liked the Fountain.

made me get something in my eye... several times during the movie.

No Borat?

I think I see a movie in the cinema about once every 2-4 months. Razz

I liked The Departed. Was The Fountain any good? A few people I know walked out on it.

Wedding Crashers didn't come out in 2006, but it's the best movie I've seen this year. I laughed so hard it made me sick.

Superman Returns (twice, one regular and once in IMAX 3D).

I think that is the only movie I have gone out to see this year.

Superman:

What makes superman = superman is Clark Kent. With Chris Reeves the contrast between the bumbling camped up Clark Kent and Superman was much better than in Superman Returns. I thought superman returns was just boring. Superman did not have the gravitas he had in the 1970's and 1980's movies. My eyes were fixated on Chris Reeves, not with this new guy.

MOVIE PER WEEK:

I admit it was a slight exaggeration. I would bet I have gone to see at least 30 movies this year.

I'll take this topic as any movie I've watched for the first time, even though it may have been released earlier.

With that in mind, "The 42 Year Old Virgin" had me laughing throughout quite regularly. Has anybody else seen that movie and was it funny to you or dumb?

You, Me & Dupree and Talledaga Nights are recent movies I saw that were both pretty funny. I was a little surprised that I even liked Talledaga Nights, since I'm not big on Will Ferrell.
