OK.... Some of these films are marked according to how much I liked them, and what they mean to me. It's all a matter of opinion in the end, isn't it..?
*Not strictly a cinema release movie, but it was treated as a film here in UK after being initially serialised on TV in the 1980s.
i agreed with most of them on your list - that are the best , some of them are not. god k now why they were made.
1 star: The entire Spider Man franchise - i agree with last two update spider man , the first one was ok, jamie foxx was horrible in the second spider-man .
but the spider-man with toby was excellent, it was perfect, because it took spidey from 60'sto the late 70's, as written exactly like comic books in 60's and 70's.
spider man 2 was perfect with toby - a solid good storyline with doc ock.
The Sweetest Thing
Meet The Spartans - why did these movies made, talking about stinkeros.
Catwoman
avatar - probably of your group that i saw, few others that have never seen.
avatar - i saw it twice i thought i was disappointed by it. the special effects like in the movie, but that about it. it was better than " the dark knight ".
i appreciate now, the star wars movies because the last two recent movies than first six. all togther.
the lords of the rings and the hobbit movies are the best epics that represent good vs evil in all good epic battles of any kind of movies.
jennifer - you and i have almost the same taste in movies, i probably more critical the style what i except in movies, than you do. i expect more from movies these days, i seen a lot of crap come out of the movie productions in the last fifteen years.
i personally watch more independent movies in the last twenty years are so much better than american main stream movies that spit out today.
jennifer - in the last two years that major main stream movies that movie productions overkill in tv commericals. probably less 8 major movies actually in the last two years, actually benefits by overtaxing on tv commercials.
jennifer- i personally in the last five years, appreciate more than ever eurpoean independence movies and other countries independence movies than the crap american teen movies, these twentysome or thirtysome mid-crisis garbage , why are they in theater is beyond me.
in the last 10 years, disney animation movies are masterpieces.
in guilty pleasure, i haven't to impressive women comedian movies stars last five or ten years. most of the movies of melissa mccarthy are funny, compare to tina fey or other in her group of upcoming female movie comedians.
melissa has a lot of raw talent that in " gilmore girls " even sandra bullock is better in comedy than drama.
