Your Favorite Movie(s) so Far This Year ?

[Catchawave]

I've only seen 4, so I'll list them in the order of my "most bestest favorite":

1. Wedding Crashers
2. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
3. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
4. War of the Worlds

If there's enough responses, maybe I'll do a Poll !

1. Charilie, Batman Begins....

Of course those are the only two I've seen this year.

[Catchawave]

7. Missed Batman :(

Probably other good ones too.

I'm a diehard Gene Wilder Willie Wonka fan, still am, but also of Johnny Depp's Willie too!

[Liberal Veteran]

10. I liked Wilder and Depp both...

Two very different takes on Wonka, but both brilliant in their own right.

Gene was slightly sinister, whereas Depp was just misanthropic (and oddly that's the first opportunity I had to use that word in a real sentence.).

14. I was prepared to hate the Depp version of Willie,

but was pleasantly surprised ! Also, Tim Burton and Danny Elfman never disappoint me either :)

2. The only one I can even think of is Sin City

Not many movies have made an impression on me so far this year.

[WCGreen]

13. Sin City was by far the best movie of the year

so far....

[Catchawave]

18. Must have missed that one.....

never heard of it ?

Of course I'm in an area that the Wedding Crashers are being Swift Boated and RW Fundie boycotted.

[tarkus]

26. Definitely Sin City. Was Jersey Girl this year? That was good too.

3. Haven't seen any.

:shrug:

[Liberal Veteran]

4. Ah-HAH!!!! It's your fault then...

...that the box office is supposely tepid this year!

:D

[bertha katzenengel]

6. Yep. All my fault!

;)

[Catchawave]

11. Do you rent movies...?

My Top Four are all vid/dvd worthy too :)

I love special effects on big screens, but did almost break a rib laughing so hard at Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn's Wedding Crashers!

[bertha katzenengel]

12. No, but I buy 'em or get 'em on PPV.

Can you recommend something besides Wedding Crashers? Not my style.... :)

[Catchawave]

19. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is fun....

to see on a big screen. Lovely music and special effects!

5. Revenge of the Sith, Batman Begins, War of the Worlds

Thankfully, Revenge of the Sith took me back to what watching a Star Wars movie was all about!

[Swede]

8. War of the Worlds by a landslide.

I recommend it. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

9. Kung Fu Hustle. I saw 'Charlie' and 'Sith' and I'm 'meh' on those.

[NYCGirl]

15. The Aristocrats

Gilbert Gottfried is a genius!

[Catchawave]

17. I want to SEE that

..have a feeling it won't be shown in Pat RobertsonJerryFalwellland :(

Maybe it will still be playing in NYC in October ???

[NYCGirl]

25. It's only in 4 theaters in NY and LA now, but will be opening wider

on August 13 and into September. What part of the country do you live in? If you go to their website, www.thearistocrats.com, they have a theater listing.

And, worse case scenario, the DVD is going to kick ass!!

And here's an interesting review from a "Christian" critic — although he condemns the film for it's vulgarity, I can't help but think he really enjoyed it!

I don't generally hang out around Christian film critics)

27. Thanks NYCgirl

I'll check the website :hi:
