Another year, another set of movies to be ranked. This follows the same format. The higher up on the list, the better I think it is.

Rushmore06/20/2008

gotta say i'm glad to see someone giving superhero movie a respectable score, it was terrible at times (mostly the hawking stuff, which was just wrong) but it had some killer lines

(on waking from a coma, not realising his wife is dead)

Doctor : Someone is here to see you
Albert : is it my wife?
Doctor : No, its not your dead wife

:)
