I know i've seen more

Good list! I'll have to see some of these. Of those I have seen, I can find little to disagree with. I'd move AI, Ocean's Eleven, and Bandits up one notch or more (depending on which we're talking about), but I can understand the latter not having particularly broad appeal. I can't see anything in your top two tiers that I'd move down to the third tier, so I'm particularly looking forward to rounding out what I've seen there.

BTW, if you don't want your headers to be "bulleted" make the very first character on the line an underscore, like so:

_Best

Again, good list! Now if I could just convince you to post a few comments on each... :-)

I'll have to watch AI again, i saw it a while ago, i remember it left me with an unnerving feeling. Oceans eleven i found boring, i was hoping for some kind of twist at the end, but it just happened, exactly like they planned it would. Bandits wasn't bad i guess, i saw it on a plane flight.

Thanks for the tip BTW.

Yes, this is a great list. Hard to argue much with these. As for your "overated?" category, I'll venture the following guesses:

No
I didn't know this one was highly rated by most; I liked it quite a bit, but it ain't a favorite
Yes
Yes

Well, that should start a conversation or two...

Again, great list, and welcome!

Shalom, y'all!

Im glad you agree on a couple of them, especially spiderman. About a boy was nice, lots of laughs, but predictable and shallow. I don't know what i was expecting. I prefer High Fidelity, which is also from a Nick hornby book.
