I don't tend to watch many, but go for it ;D
I think the only two films I watched that came out this year were Die Hard 4 and PotC 3. Loved them both, so they're my top two ;D

I don't go the movies much either. I saw Stardust and the Astronaut Farmer and Shrek 3 (took my niece to this one. Stardust -- I enjoyed it. Not a truly great film though. Astronaut Farmer -- Wonderful movie. Everyone should see it. Very positive film about the triumph of the human spirit. Shrek 3 -- harmless

Again, in no given order... 1. Stardust: A fun little fantasy romp, and I'm definitely looking forward to the DVD. 2. Death Proof: I can't count the whole of Grindhouse, cause Planet Terror was a disappointment. Still, Tarantino did a good job with this, even if it doesn't rank with the likes of Kill Bill. 3. Elizabeth: The Golden Age. I quite liked this... it's a nice little period film that's mostly within the range of historical fact, even if some of the changes are frankly ridiculous. But overall, it was nice. 4. 300: A great adaptation of Frank Miller's original comic. 5. Pirates 3: Kind of a disappointment compared to the first two, but overall the franchise holds up pretty well. 6. Spidey 3: A bit overcrowded with villains and "emo Spidey" was painful, but otherwise I liked it. 7. Transformers: Surprisingly good, especially for Michael Bay... but it works. Again, I'm probably blanking on other stuff I saw, but there you go.

Superbad- The funniest movie this year and a rare teen comedy who's message isn't "Get laid!" This movie is about starting real relationships
Knocked Up- Not as funny as I'd thought it would be but still memorable. Apatow can do no wrong.
Spider-Man 3- Fun. Put the comic back in comic book movie.
Smokin' Aces- Again fun. Also Ryan Reynolds is a total badass.

Man, what a dissapointing year this has been. Especially painful after such a wonderful 2006, with movies like The Departed, Children of Men and El Laberinto del Fauno. I don't think I can be able to fill a Top 10.
1. Ratatouille - Pixar showing, once again, that every single other animation studios should just retire, because they can't produce any animation movie with even a tenth of the quality of this.
2. American Gangster - Ridley Scott is highly irregular. Most of the time he's off, but when he's on, he scores big time. He's on in American Gangster.
3. The Bourne Ultimatum - One of the few second sequels actually worth it. Certainly the only one released this year in what seemed to be the year of Trilogitis.
4. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - The last three HP sequels have been very good movies, this one may be the second best, still behind Prisoner of Azkaban which remains the best of the series.
5. The Simpsons Movie - This movie made me laugh as much as the best Simpsons episodes, and more than the current seasons have in years.
And..
That's pretty much it.
Maybe in a couple of more months I could be able to finish it. There a few movies I haven't seen. I'm waiting for the DVD of Stardust and 3:10 to Yuma. Michael Clayton is another one I'm waiting, as Clooney hardly dissapoints. Also, Oscar season almost always gets at least 4 or 5 worthy movies some notoriety.
