1. Spiderman 3 - Not quite as good as Spiderman 1 or 2, but still a lot of fun.

2. Night at the Museum - I enjoyed this thoroughly.

3. The Messengers - Ho-hum horror.

4. Eragon - Good actors + good source material + mediocre movie = bad director.


5. Walk the Talk - No laughs though I did smile throughout this Aussie comedy.

6. Signs & Wonders - Quietly effective drama about a man who allows himself to do things because of the signs that he thinks he sees.

7. The Birth of a Nation - Not the classic I thought it would be. Pretty lousy actually.

8. Utopia - Not bad Laurel and Hardy comedy.

10. Sin City - One of my all time favorite movies.

11. The Exorcism of Emily Rose - this movie gets under my skin (that’s a compliment).

12. Phantom of the Paradise - I’ve loved this movie since I was a kid.

13. Time Bandits - one of the best pre-Harry Potter family fantasies.

14. 28 Days Later - really good zombie flick.

15. Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children - a confusing story if you are not familiar with the game (I’m not) but makes up for it through the sheer beauty of it’s animation.

16. The Corpse Bride - I enjoy this film more each time I watch it.

17. A Dirty Shame - John Waters at his prime.

18. Batman Begins - Now that’s a Batman movie!

19. Bubba Ho-Tep - Bruce Campbell gets another great character to add to his repertoire.

20. The Woods - you’ve just got to like a movie directed by someone named Lucky McGee.

21. Haeckel’s Tale (Masters of Horror) - mediocre horror tale.

22. The Aristocrats - I can’t get over the glee that overtakes these comedians in the telling of this one fowl little tale. Too hilarious for words.

23. Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace - Okay... not as good as the first (last?) trilogy but still has that great lightsabre duel with Darth Maul at the end.

24. Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones - Better than The Phantom Menace; and Yoda with a lightsabre is classic.

25. Saw - Less bloody on a second viewing than I remembered, but still intense and grim viewing.

26. Team America: World Police - The height in low-brow humor. I loved it.

27. American Splendor - This is a well made and loving look at this curmudgeon.

28. Constantine - I liked it, though I have not read the comics. (It always strikes me as odd that people complain when a movie isn't the same as the comic. It's a different medium; one where compromise is the key to getting anything made).

29. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Tim Burton really shines here. Danny Elfman’s score is great.

30. Undead - Funny Aussie horror spoof comedy.
