In my oppinion, Watchmen is one of the biggest failures I have yet to lay eyes on but maybe that's just me. Somehow a blue guy (which penis can be seen the whole movie) going emo isn't quite appealing to me. I've seen a lot of people mention The Dark Knight. While it's a good movie, action packed and it's dose of drama and subliminal messages, it's not a movie that rests in one's memory as incredible or amazing. A good action movie, a bit overrated but nothing more imo. Slumdog Millionaire wasn't that good imo, I'd probably rate The Curios Case of Benjamin Buttons to be more interesting and entertaining. Milk, the movie with the gay dude and polithics proved to be quite uninteresting to me so I stopped watching it after 10 minutes, maybe someone with more patience and insight can comment on that one. I recently watched Ip Man, and all I can say is that I just loved it. Loved it, loved it. Has a lot of nice fights and a very interesting storyline that kept me atleast on the edge of my seat. So if you have some spare time on your hands watch Ip Man and The Curios Case of Benjamin Buttons, those are the only movie that actually let an impression on me in the last weeks. Ip Man was awesome. Great kung-fu movie. | ||

Seriously iron man and batman begins were brilliant movies, they were just overshadowed by dark knight, even though batman begins is just a smidgen worse than the dark knight. And no country for old men was amazing. | ||

And I will second The Assassination of Jesse James, I was stunned by that movie. I think both of these movies are a little under the radar, but amazing. Edit: I don't know what the big deal is with the Dark Knight, 300 is terrible but in a good way (I'd watch either movie again if I were really bored and had a snack), I'd wouldn't watch Wall-E again, I thought it was lousy. | ||

For example, the first time I watched The Departed, people were laughing at the jokes from the beginning to the end and it was great. I watched it again with another group of people and there were hardly any laughs =/ Still, the first time left a very good impression. Anyway from 2005 on: The Departed Juno Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (def. the most fun of any movie) So I don't know if these are the best movies but they left the most memorable impressions. Dark Knight too of course, which everyone loved, but I thought was overrated. Probably like Iron Man more than TDK. | ||

A lot of people have a stupid outlook that because it's a Pixar kids/family movie that it can't be considered really good. But honestly it was incredible how the animators were able to convey such emotion from the characters who had very little facial expression, ie robots without eyebrows or mouths are still able to look surprised or shocked, etc. Maybe I'm wording this poorly but I think most people who've seen it will know what I mean. | ||

![[image loading]](http://theloop.colum.edu/s/644/images/editor/students/News/The_Truman_Show-front_DivX.jpg) Really love this movie. Bought it with my last batch of bought dvd's and watched it today. Really gives you another perspective on life. I think it's a little short though, they could've added maybe 15 more minutes and I'm a sucker for a cheesy ending so they could've dragged it out some more. 9/10. | ||

So for those who saw it, how was it compared to the other films on the list? the only one which makes me want to rewatch right now is the pianist because i don't think any other movie has stuck me so much, i was in tears watching a movie and that is fucking amazing. saying that, i must have seen gladiator like 5 times and once finished LOTR:extended version in one day | ||

Dark Knight and transformers are pretty good but not really awesomely great, V/Begins just sucks. New Wolverine movie is pretty good though the new wolverine movie sucked + Show Spoiler + tipical kill love one with some twist in it , gets revenge, kill some megamonster at the end, very predictable, i was looking forward to this movie for a long time but it was a big dissapointment | ||
