Seeing these lists reminds me that there's a lot of highly-acclaimed movies I haven't seen yet.
Oh shit, I forgot to add that one! That's a really-well done movie with Jean Reno at one of his finest as well as Natalie Portman's first acting role I believe. EDIT: As a matter of a fact, here is Part 1 a very interesting short feature on the DVD, showcasing Natalie's account of the experience and her thoughts 10 years later...

Stargate. I believe someone else mentioned this, but I re-watched it tonight. I was such a fangirl for this movie when it came out and still am. My coworkers, from the video store, and I would constantly play this when we worked. I also had the soundtrack, which I need to find. I hear so many good things about the TV series, but I never got into it because it didn't have Kurt Russell or James Spader, but I think it would be interesting to see what they did with the Stargate Universe.
This is probably one of better Roland Emmerich films I never get tired of, other than The Patriot. He really should stop with the apocalyptic movies and make more movies like the aforementioned.
That was Will Ferrel's peak when it came to comedy, then he just sank like a rock.
Talladega Nights was also great, as was his cameo in Wedding Crashers, and Stranger than Fiction.
Tallaedga Nights was the line for me for unfunny. I really disliked Wedding Crashers. Stranger than Fiction is probably the best movie he has ever done because he showed he could do a dramatic movie and pull it off.

I'm not a fan of Wedding Crashers either, but Talladega Nights was hilarious in terms of stupidity, like Happy Gilmore. And Will Ferrel said hismelf that he didn't know anything about Nascar during the production of that movie, so with that fact in mine, it makes the film twice as funny.

I'm rather reticent on seeing that movie because of how much I dislike Milla Jovovich since she nearly murdered the Resident Evil series for me.
- Princess Mononoke
I'm going to admit something that may or may not make heads roll. Princess Mononoke is my most disliked Miyazaki movie. There I said it, I'm ready for the rifles. The reason why is that I was too young when I first saw that movie and it scared the everliving shit out of me (especially when the Shishigami's head is chopped off). I tried revisiting it much later, but sadly it didn't do anything for me because that younger experience was traumatizing to me.

She's in Garden State too, actually. Probably not quite as good a film as Léon, and a lot of people hate it, but it just seems to resonate with me a bit - I'm not sure why, it just seems to have this sort of 'feel' about it. Maybe someone else who has seen it can put it better.
