All except Inglorious Basterds, The Hurt Locker, and A Serious Man

Inglourious Basterds
The Hurt Locker
District 9

I can't really rank those three in any sort of order. These are probably three of my top twenty favorite movies. All three are excellent

Up - One of the best openings of any movie. Michael Giacchino, MAH BOY
500 Days of Summer - Very good
Star Trek - Michael Giacchino again. I loved the opening scene and loved his music. Solid movie. JJ did well
The Hangover - I saw this movie way later and missed it during all the hype. Fairly funny but overrated I think
Avatar - Most overrated movie of all time

Inglourious Basterds

The Hangover

I think Up was my favorite. I saw The Hangover early on in theaters and it was good in the crowded theater atmosphere. Definitely not on par with many of the others on my list.




I have wanted to see Blind Side, Star Trek, and 500 Days of Summer for quite some time now. Something always sees to come up whenever I make the effort.

1. Inglourious Basterds. Probably still my favorite Tarantino movie

2. Up. It got a bit SILLY in the second half but the first half and the ending were incredible. It's right behind Toy Story 3 for me as far as Pixar goes

3. District 9. Pretty amazing that they got you to sympathize with insectoid aliens. The action was great. Can't wait for them to make that sequel

4. 500 Days of Summer. One of the few romcoms I actually like

5. A Serious Man. It has some great stuff but it was so, so opaque

6. The Hurt Locker. How this won Best Picture I'll never know. It was solid but seriously...there's like a million better war movies out there

7. The Hangover. Didn't really get the hype but it was decent. I liked Galifianakis' character but other than that...meh

8. Avatar. I'll at least admit it was pretty amazing watching this in a 3D theater. But other than that it's pretty mediocre

9. Star Trek. Didn't like it at all really! It was so bland and generic.

Blindside

I don't really remember much about Up at all except dat fucking opening scene ;___;

The Hangover was ok for a few laughs. I don't understand why this series is so popular though.

I turned Avatar off about midway through after being bored to tears.

Inglorious Basterds, Hurt Locker, District 9, Harry Potter, Hangover, 500 Days of Summer, Star Trek, Blindside... I've got Avatar but I've not watched it.

Hangover was pretty funny. District 9 is the only of them I saw in theaters and I loved it. The rest I saw here and there on HBO or Showtime. Hurt Locker and Inglorious Basterds are probably the two highlights for me.

I'll just go on the record and say that I hated 500 Days of Summer which for some reason I sat through three times. Most of the others are at least decent. Up in the Air and Inglourious Basterds are probably my favorites but I wouldn't claim to love any of them.

I really shouldn't have included Inglourious Basterds since we actually left the drive in not even half way through since it was so boring lmfao but I did START to watch it lol

Oh maybe I shouldn't have marked Avatar either because I fell asleep lol

If those don't count I should probably take away almost every movie I've ever watched at home. :x

Up
-Was a cute movie from what I remember. I think it was sad? I don't even remember really

Inglourious Basterds
-Um somewhat watched it. I would say my eyes were looking anywhere but the screen though. NOT MY CUP OF TEA

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
-Probs my least favorite HP movie and least fave HP book. But still it's HP which makes it better than these other movies

Avatar
-Was nice to see in 3D. Pretty graphics etc

The Hangover
-So overrated. I Didn't really find it funny at all

Up in the Air
-Believe I watched this when it was on the movie channels. Couldn't tell you a thing about it, really!

Inglourious Basterds
Harry Potter
The Hangover
Star Trek

IG was great. One of Tarantino's best
Harry Potter - Meh liked this one the least out of the series
The Hangover - highly overrated. The only good part was the photo montage at the end credits
Star Trek - Liked it. I wasn't expecting too much so I was not really disappointed.

Saying the Hangover is overrated is overrated.
