I've got a giant list as I'm a pretty big movie fanatic.

Catch Me if You Can (one of the best films I've ever seen. The cinematography was gorgeous. The acting was superb, but that was to be expected with the cast involved. There was good character development and dialogue. Just all across the board an excellent film.)

Casablanca (Obviously one of the best films ever made. It's topped charts since the 40s. It's given us so many catchphrases and won almost anyone who's seen it over. An excellent plot that really played out beautifully. So many great techniques were used to film it. From the clothing color to the use of glassware to express major themes and important issues in the film was brilliant. I can still watch this film over and over again and never tire of it.)

UP (I'm a huge fan of animated films and a giant fan of Pixar. I had no doubts this was going to be a great film, but it blew me away with how much better it was than my original expectations. There isn't much I can say about it other than it's in my opinion the best film Pixar has made since Toy Story.)

Walk the Line (The Johnny Cash biopic. First time I saw the movie I didn't pay attention to it. I was on a date, the girl was more important, and I wasn't even a Johnny Cash fan. Fast forward a few years after becoming a Cash fan. I gave the movie another chance and loved it. Beautifully shot, a beautiful progression of his story, and good jesus Joaquin Phoenix nailed his role so WELL. There were times when I forgot I was listening to JP and was convinced I was listening JC. Amazing.)

My last praise goes out to not a single movie, but to a Director, Animator, and Co-owner of Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki.
There isn't a single film this man has come out with that I was disappointed in. He is an absolute genius. Whether it's story telling, animating, directing, whatever. This man is my God. Some of his films include: Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke, and My Neighbor Totoro.

Honorable mentions: Moulin Rouge, Inglorious Basterds, Space Jam, and The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Mr Pokemon:
I really liked the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. They were done incredibly, and were really long, so all of the story could be fit in. I mainly watched it for the battle scenes though, because they are EPIC! I especially love how Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli just plow through the orcs and have a contest of who can kill the most in the middle of a battle. Plus, Gimli is hilarious.
When they battle the Warg Riders, Gimli and Legolas see who gets the most kills...
Gimli: I got 17! Beat that, pointy ears!
Legolas:... (Draws bow and shoots the orc Gimli is sitting on) 17. He was twitching.
Gimli: Well maybe thats cause I've got my axe buried in his nervous system!! (Shakes axe up and down, causing the orc to move.)

Probobly the funniest parts in the movies, but you'd have to see it for it you actually make you laugh.

I think they should make a movie from these books, they would be awesome and would probobly be my favorite movies:
-The Ranger's Apprentice Series (Great Books, Great action sequences, Great story)
-Ender's Game (They were going to make one, but they gave up...)
