How do people hate V For Vendetta? ._.

And Transformer? You just have to expect what you're gonna get - I went in just wanting to see giant robots beat the shit out of each other, and that's what I got, and I was satisfied ^^

A ridiculous amount of people will say "so-and-so movie sucked/is overrated" because they're "too cool" to like mainstream movies that other people also like or something lol. Kinda sad.

A film that I haven't seen in this thread is Sin City. You must see that, it's extremely good.

Slumdog was mediocre imo. The ending of it was so cheesy that I almost turned it off.

Pan's labyrinth gets my vote.

Howl's Moving Castle (2004).
I didn't think it was that recent, but that movie was absolutely astonishing. The English dub for it is on point as well, I prefer it to the original voices.

Also, Thank you for Smoking (2005). Slipped under the radar for me. Comedy movie with a slightly different kind of humor than the ones suggested. Aaron Eckhart's performance as Nick Naylor is what made me watch The Dark Knight in theaters.

And I second Ratatouille and Wall-E as well. Haven't yet met someone who regretted watching those.

I'm surprised people mentioned 300. I figured that movie was pure hype and would be long forgotten by now.

Dark Knight
Gran Torino
Snatch for kicks (it's kinda old now)
Rise of the foot soldier (no one has mentioned this, it's great)

Gran Torino
The Wrestler (seriously, Gran Torino is tons of times in here but this is nearly inexistent? wtf?)
Sin City
The Departed (or the Hong Kong original, both are great... I could identify myself better with "The Departed" so I liked that one more).
The Green Mile
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (is like Snatch, but imo a little better... Probably depends on which one you saw earlier because they are very similar in many aspects).
In Brugges (starts a bit slow but it just gets better by the minute... Midget wars :D).
City of God
The Dark Knight
No country for old men

REALLY Fun/Strange-Stuff:
Shoot'em'up... Seriously, if you know what you get and you actually want just that (sick action with guns) there is no better movie and there probably will never be a better movie.
Crank 1 (didn't knew anything about this movie and just rented it out of curiosity... Awesome :p).
300 (Hua! Someone should make such a movie featuring amazons

)
Oldboy (saw this one accidently on TV with no clue... When a dude is running around with a Hammer you just have to know what he is up to

... That was a really strange experience ^^).
Ong Bak (inyaface!)
Planet Terror (death proof sucked, aside from the cars and Kurt Russel)
Terminator 3... This movie is so... early 90ties... Big explosions, fire... 90ties stuff :p.
Watchmen... Stop complaining about seeing Dr. Manhattens dick, it would have been retarded for his character to wear pants because he is above such things... Seriously, i never knew the comic and i still don't. But complaining about this is just retarded.

I hated V for Vendetta, I was so bored and I just don't see what many people seem to see in this movie.
Transformers was ok, nothing more... I don't really get the hype, to less Robots action... TF2 looks promising
