Well, in first place by a mile is Wall-E, followed by In Bruges. About a mile after that, we have Crystal Skull and Prince Caspian, then Kung Fu Panda and Iron Man. Oh, and Harold and Kumar. That was also good.
And those are the only films I've seen so far that I would consider good. Plenty of other films have been all right, but not really good enough to be worth mentioning in a favorites thread. There's a few I haven't seen yet (Redbelt, Wanted, Sarah Marshall...) and of course, several yet to come. Hellboy, Batman, Pineapple Express.
And anybody who's already ranking Dark Knight first... Well, unless you've already seen it (which I doubt), you've just earned fanboy status.
And there's a case for every superhero being a wanker. Batman's isn't half as strong as Superman's, but it exists.

In 1977 George Lucas created the Star Wars Trilogy and changed the way we look at movies.
In 1999 George Lucas created the Prequel Trilogy and changed the way we look at Star Wars.
Frasier, Lost, and Whose Line Is It Anyway? are the best tv shows ever.

Anyways, here's my 'official' list so far. With numbers.
1. Wall-E
2. In Bruges
3. Indiana Jones
4. Prince Caspian
5. Harold and Kumar
I almost forgot about In Bruges, but I'd recommend that to just about anyone.

Have you seen it more than once? I enjoyed it a lot the 1st time (in the theater) but it kinda fell flat on a 2nd viewing (on DVD).

1) Wall.E
2) Iron Man
3) The Incredible Hulk
4) Cloverfield
5) The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian
6) Wanted
7) Semi-Pro
8) Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull
9) 10,000 B.C.
That's every movie I've seen this year. It's important to note that only the first five actually belong on a best of list. From number six and down it goes from decent but forgettable flick all the way to complete horse hockey in the final two slots. By the time the year is up I fully expect Hellboy II to be near the top of the list, although not above Wall.E. Mongol will also make this list most likely if I am ever able to see it. Hancock has a chance for the lower tier of good, as does that Disney flick, Bolt. I don't anticipate TDK being in my top 10 when the year is done because just like most Nolan flicks it will not be good.
