The Girl Next Door - the birth of Emile Hirsch as one heck of an actor and the hottest, non-nude role in history for Elisha Cuthbert. It was actually a pretty good coming-of-age story and not just some stupid teenage sex romp.

Rocky Balboa - Best comeback movie in history. I mean, from the piece of crap Rocky V to this... not Rocky actually coming back and fighting.

... I only have two as of right now... I'll think of more.

At first,I just wanted to see this movie because of Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr. I wasn't expecting much, but I ended up being MORE than pleasantly surprised. This movie is easily one of my favorite films.

Bound I thought it was going to suck, but it turned out be an excellent film.

Yes, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was very good. RD Jr. is funny as hell. Bound, Is that with Jennifer Tilly and Gena Gershon? Some lesbo scenes?

+1 for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I thought that movie was going to suck but was dragged into watching it. Needless to say, I was very surprised.

RDJ and Val Kilmer totally made that film!
And yeah, that's the Bound that I was referring to.

Super Bad - I thought it was much funnier than Knocked Up.

Balls Of Fury - the trailers didn't look funny to me, but I laughed quite a bit when I actually saw the movie.

The Hills Have Eyes - I hate horror/gore movies in general, but I was fairly entertained by this movie.

Grandma's Boy was a pretty funny movie I recently saw. I only rented it after 2 years of a friend quoting from it non-stop.

Your bed is a car.

Yeah, but it's a f-ing sweet car.

Maybe you two should get a room, rent the movie, and see what develops...

Gotta be Big Momma's House 2.

There was no way I thought it could even come close to matching--let alone eclipsing--the brilliance of the original, especially with the always-impressive Paul Giamatti's refusal (why?!?!?) to reprise his role as Martin Lawrence's game sidekick, Jon Maxwell, and Terrence Howard's ominous portrayal of the nefarious Lester Vesco obviously not being included in the sequel, but...under the watchful eye of director John Whitesell (Malibu's Most Wanted, Deck The Halls), Martin Lawrence delivered a life-affirming, tour-de-force performance as Malcolm Turner/Big Momma and delivered the film from oblivion.
