While the "sniper duel" scene in The Hurt Locker was by far the best part of the movie, it's also a headscratcher. The bad guys nail every shot from what appears to be at least 800 yards with a Dragunov, while the good guys struggle to hit anything with a Barrett? The EOD guys are better shots than the British special ops guys? I've watched this scene a dozen times (don't ask), but I still can't figure this one out.

Agree with 1, 3, and 10. The others I either haven't seen or think there are better scenes in those movies. And still no love for Zombieland? Not even the Best Cameo Ever?

It's not like the original was a model of military accuracy. The captain risking himself by going down to the surface every week? Preposterous.

Spock left his post not only to save his family, but the Vulcan council. He was justified in that.

The mechanism by which Kirk became captain was laughable, though.

And put INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS on the "wtf is everybody else smoking?" list. That movie is horrible.

The worst thing about Hollywood in 2009 is the distribution system which says that since I have made the logistically, financially, and morally sensible decision to live far away from any major metropolitan center, I must wait until sometime in 2010 -- or the blu-ray -- to see THE ROAD.

Of course, the same distribution system also kept AFTER LAST SEASON from showing anywhere near me. I don't know whether to be disappointed or relieved.

Also: loved the new HP when I first saw it in the theater, but it truly does drrraaaaaagggg now that I've seen it.

And DISTRICT 9 is brilliant. And ZOMBIELAND is right up there with UP as my favorites of the year.

I was in college the first time I saw this movie. It came along at a time when I was unsure of my own future and helped get me through a difficult time. Since then, my appreciation of it has only grown.

Now I can't watch the first sixty seconds of it without dissolving into sobs and tears. I love every moment of it.

I enthusiastically endorse DIE HARD and LETHAL WEAPON. Couple of others should be added:

RUNNING SCARED -- Billy Crystal at the top of his game. Gregory Hines, too. Hard to believe Peter Hyams directed it; it's his best film.

THE DEAD ZONE -- C'mon, CHRISTOPHER WALKEN. And Martin Sheen. Both in full-on crazy mode.

A MIDNIGHT CLEAR -- Ethan Hawke's tolerable, but Gary Sinise makes the movie. It's anti-war, not anti-soldier.

I particularly liked her in WAY OF THE GUN. But I have a soft spot for that movie anyway.
