What do you guys think? Heres my Top 3... 1) Return of the King - Flame me if you will, but this...was just a kickass movie, especially if you watched it in the theater. 2) The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - Clint Eastwood is amazing in this movie, one of the greatest movie badasses of all time. Its a western, but a damn good western. Also has the greatest movie soundtrack, ever. (Scored by Ennio Morricone) 3) The Godfather, Part II - The first one was awesome...and the second one exceeded it in every way possible. Acting wise, plot wise, dialogue wise. It was also interesting to see Vito's rise to power, and at the same time see Michael continuing to control the family. Oddly enough, I've never seen the third Godfather.  For childhood bias, I'd throw in The Goonies somewhere.  What are your "Top 3" "Greatest" movies of all time? |

Serenity was pretty badass.
And I'm too lazy to think up a legitimate top 3, but in the past year, my favorite have been Batman Begins, King Kong, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

From the past month:
King Kong was pretty good - although some of the attempts to integrate some of the '33 version dialogue didn't quite work for me. The whole time at skull island was excellent though.
Narnia was also pretty good - I didn't really like the costuming and selection of Jadis, but it was a great translation from the book.
40-year old Virgin - Good, but not as good as I was led to believe going into it. I really like the lead actor though - he is great in the American version of the Office.

Damn it... I forgot Narnia and The 40 Year Old Virgin...
There were too many good movies last year. Speaking of which, I still haven't seen Wedding Crashers.

Comedy wise, (all time)...
1) Airplane
2) Clerks
3) ...
Too many great fucking movies to list. Though this year, the three main movies I liked were Cinderella Man, Wedding Crashers, and 40 Year Old Virgin.

I think this is the third time I've said this... Serenity owned. I'm tempted to go out and by the Firefly box set after seeing it.
