I enjoyed the last samurai, it was thought provoking and I like that in a movie.
probably my favourite film of the year though was I, Robot.
I liked the way the plot was delivered and it was a bit feel-good also.

I am specifically a Tom Cruise fan despite him starring in both

Not usually my thing but i thought "The Terminal" was a nice film.

The new "Dawn of the Dead" was pretty cool, made me want to run down to my nearest Mossberg shotgun dealer!

best film of the year, tricky...

I'll give you a few (in no specific order)

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Jim Carrey in a non comedy role for a change)
Kill Bill vol 1 and 2
I, Robot
Shaun of the Dead
Collateral
The Bourne Supremacy (no way as good as the book though)

Now, it's not release over here yet, but having just read the book, seen the trailers and the oher clips, I'm willing to add "Layer Cake" to the list.

Mine was 'The Terminal' until last weekend when I saw 'Layercake' - put's Lock Stock and the other 'plastic' U.K gangster films seriously in the shade IMHO.....

Still yet to see 'Alfie' yet though mind (my missus wants to see it you understand.... )

Probably Collateral - Shawn of the Dead coming in 2nd.

Layer Cake was probably 3rd - well impressed with that one too.

Collateral for me. Aint got round to watching man on fire yet though. AVP was good but nothing amazing.

Resident Evil Apocolypse was a pretty good sequel also.

Collateral and Bourne Supremacy were pretty good.

Dodgeball was quite amusing and the Notebook was a good film although I probably shouldn't admit that

Give over! I enjoyed it myself. OK, there were a few plot issues which needed addressing such as the incredibly short gestation period, the fact the predator would not have been attacked at the end given its condition and the ratio of humans:aliens considering each human can only "give birth" to one alien. Other than that it was enjoyable nonsense
