Best movies of the year

I was just wondering what your top five movies of the year are? And if you can pick a favorite what is it? Since there hasn't been much of a selection this year I've posted the top 20 in my mind, you can disagree however, that's what makes this fun

here's my top 5

In no particular order

Mr & Mrs Smith
Sin City
Sky High
Batman Begins
The 40 Year Old Virgin

Re: Best movies of the year

I didn't really like batman i think War of the Worlds should take its place. It was very instructional to my own plans of world domination plans. I seriously need to get some people to dust cloud guns! Also Sky High?

Re: Best movies of the year

I thought Mr and Mrs Smith was garbage, and normally those are the kind of movies I like.

I'd have to say my favorite so far is The 40 Year Old Virgin. It's probably one of the funniest movies of all time.

Re: Best movies of the year

Yes Sky High, lol. Mock me if you will, but this IS the family movie of the year. It's fun to keep you entertained, but not so much as to be a true kids movie. At the theater I work at we had a preview of Sky High , and everyone in the audience loved it. Now I'm not talking about kids here, they were 20 year olds absolutely loving it.

Uh oh.. I actually agree with Cory on this one..

Maybe it's just because it's the only movie I saw off that list so far this year.

I want to see War Of The Worlds, so I can see our neighboring town in there where they shot some scenes for it.

Also, Dukes of Hazzard... Gotta see that one of these days, not for any reason but the General Lee.. w00t Mopar Muscle.

Oh, and for anyone who saw Dukes, is this scene from the movie?

This is the very reason I've been to the movies twice in the past year. That or the ridiculous prices.

Re: Best movies of the year

No i think George Lucas screwed up as soon as he started using complex computer graphics and stopped using puppets. The colors became too vivid and the objects became to fanatical. It just ripped away the reality in the movie.

Amusingly enough, I've only seen Kung Fu Hustle from that list, but it was fresh, clean, and funny and so would probably trounce the entire list\ even had I seen them all. Kung Fu Hustle for teh win >_<

Re: Best movies of the year

Sorry but I think Mr. and Mrs. was a HORRIBLE movie. Batman Begins was amazing. beginning was a little drawn out, but that movie was great. Especially the tank.

Re: Best movies of the year

I only picked the top 20 or so based on their success at the box office....so while you might not agree with my list, post your own and let the debate begin.
