My Favorite Movies

It ends and it ends and it ends and where everyone else might have been looking forward to that to emptying their bladders, I was hoping it would never end. Anyone know how to hook up a cathater?

Where it all begins. The perfect adolescent movie.

Is there anywhere happier then being in the midst of an epic journey.

My all time favorite movie except for the other two in the series. Sean Bean's death scene was awesome and I didn't miss rhyming tree guy from the book. Great job Mr. Jackson.

My favourite adaptation of a Steven King story, though it may help that I never read it. A classic.

Sometimes I like it better then Star Wars sometimes I don't. Either way I like it a lot.

Weakest of the three originals with shades of the future trilogy creeping in (Ewoks) but still cool.

Wow. The most intense movie ever, a cross between Heat and the new James Bond but still true to it's comic roots. The acting is excellent all the way down the line but Heath Ledger is simply unbelievable. Wow!

A classic. What can you say about this movie that hasn't been said about "it"!

The movie that taught me the most about life, especially the part about not going into French restaurants that have buckets on hand.

The comedy greats get together in an all out comic chase for a million dollars. One of my favourite movies. Look for a breif cameo from the Stooges as airport firemen.

Khan!!!!! Khan!!!!!!!!!! ...uh yeah Khan is the best. The needs of the few are far outweighed by the enjoyment of many in this the best of the Star Trek movie franchise.

Ambitious movie that crosses genres and expectations.

The second best Batman movie ever made. Good action and great pathos with one of the most layered stories you will see in a superhero film.

My second favourite comic book movie of all time. The acting is excellent all the way around especially from Robert Downey Jr.. Thumbs up to director Favreau the movie has a great pace, has lots of action and comedy and doesn't try (as is the Hollywood norm) to destroy the character built in the comic. However, the best thing for me was the action sequences which were shot so you could actually see what was happening on screen. I don't know when it was decided that an action sequence to be good had to be shot by epileptics in mid seizure (see Transformers, Bourne, etc, etc) but I wish the idiot who decided it would quit the business and stop giving me a headache.
Make sure you watch through the end of the credits because there is such an awesome surprise at the end. (well for comic fans anyway)

Action! Action! Action! Bullets and bodies flying everywhere and exploding hospitals! What more can you ask for?

OK some of this rating is just to tick people off. :-)
I would like to point out though that this movie is an adaptation of the Seven Samurai, a classic movie.
That said everything else is just tremendously bad. You can see the ropes on the "mindsword", Jack Palance's performance as the evil Voltan is hovering slightly above the peak of Everest (though to be fair to Mr Palance he usually starts somewhere around there), while the actor who plays the elf dials so far back on his acting he makes the Star Trek Vulcan's (from which he obviously stole his idea for his character) look like weeping emotional crybabies. Also look for Jack's dad from "Lost" as the titular Hawk.
A must see.

My favorite comic movie of all time. I thought DC was dead in the water against the rampaging Marvel hordes and then they came out with this gem. It breathed new life into the character and stayed true to his premise.
C'mon Warner Bros. take note! Do like this and not like say Catwoman!

Classic swashbuckling. A true Hollywood masterpiece.

The golden age of the geek continues. This movie is....while I hesitate to say incredible, I will say very damn good. Marvel with control of its own movie properties has developed not just one but 2 movies (along with Ironman) that could contend for the title of best comic book movie ever. Not only are they good comic movies and good spectacle movies they are just good damn movies. The acting is good, the story and drama move along and there is plenty of action. For the comic book geeks there are plenty of references to catch in this movie and they even throw in a few from the 80's TV show. Plus the set-up for the proposed Avengers movie continues.

Another of those freak atmospheric moisture occurences around my eyes. This movie is superman.

A fitting epitaph to a far too short lived series. Joss Whedon pulls out all the stops. Unfortunately for me he is far to fond of character death. Still a great movie.

Some of the best action ever captured on film. A note of caution though you must have some tolerance for melodrama because it runs high.

A daring movie in a time where it is easier to just keep your head down. it makes you think about what we as a society truly hold dear to our hearts and what we let people tell our heads because of fear.

This movie goes to 11. That's one louder you know.
