What Are Your Favorite Movies?

Saw The Book of Eli recently, left me feeling a bit indifferent, really. Tries to hit the right notes for a post-apocalyptic movie but stays just too predictable, or didn't make me interested. Which is sad because I wanted to like it, Denzel is a good actor usually and he did what he could with the role. Gary Oldman wasn't bad either.

Real disapointment was to hear what the book was about.

Turns out the great secret of the book he carries around for the whole movie is...

Well I wish it was anyway.
 
Lord Of The Rings (trilogy of course)
Star Wars
Indiana Jones ( I will stick to the trilogy since I haven't seen IJ 4 )
The notebook) I know most of us are guys,but I cried a lot at this one)
Book of Eli (this movie is the best one I've seen from 2010)
Silent Hill
Water World
 
If he had the "Official Fallout 2: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game : Strategies & Secrets", then the movie would of made perfect sense.

Know that i know what the book is about, the whole movie won't be such a dissappointment: i can enjoy all the other parts of it without wondering about the end.

Most of my favorites have been mentioned by others except for my number one spot.

Memento

That movie would be close to the top of my Most Overrated list. It's a gimmick movie with a stupid ending. Every movie Chris Nolan has ever done is overrated, but Memento is the most overrated of the lot.

Gimmick? How so? Its only a gimmick movie if it relied on its "gimmick" for the entire movie, but it had great acting, written very well and looked great. If you watch the movie in its sequential order (special edition feature) its still a great film.

I'm assuming by gimmick you mean the way it was shot (non sequentially) Using that I could see how you think it may have been a "gimmick" but I thought it was original and worked to better emphasis the plot than work as a gimmick. It really added to the movie as opposed to supporting it like a crutch like most 3D (true gimmick) movies nowadays (Clash of the Titans was a big one)

Compared to Clash of the Titans? I guess. Compared to Goodfellas, The Godfather, Chinatown, Lawrence of Arabia, Blue Velvet, No Country for Old Men, and about 1000 other movies I can think of? No, it's utterly mediocre. If Memento hadn't used it's gimmicky shot-order, it would've vanished into obscurity and Chris Nolan would never have gone on to make overrated movie after overrated movie. So congrats to him.
