The Dark Knight blows away expectations for super-hero movies and becomes an extremely iconic morality epic - while Wall-E provides a much more mature tone as well for the animated films genre (not to mention both have incredible visuals).
The Dark Knight
Wall-E
Be Kind Rewind
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
Iron Man
Burn After Reading
Son of Ranbow
Cloverfield
Tropic Thunder
Of course, you mean Iron Man w/o the 2, and Holds is joking about the Chihuahua and all the films immediately listed before it... Even so, your list resembles mine.
That's too funny! Why did I put a "2" in there? I guess I can't wait for the next one!
And boy, that Holden is such a jokester, isn't he?
Daffodil -- I loved Be Kind Rewind. I know some were disappointed in it, but I've seen it a few times (I bought it) and I think it's so incredibly sweet and funny.
I love all the In Bruges love around here. My favorite film of the year.
Ok, I was surprised to find out that You Don't Mess With The Zohan was actually really funny in a mel brooks sort of way, I.E. taking something inherently not funny (in this case, the conflict between Israel and Palestine) and making a rude farce out of it.
And I'm sorry, but the new James Bond is going to be awesome. Casino Royale was brilliant, and I'm hoping for the same level of quality.
