Probably the only downside is the villian is so E.V.I.L.

I'm surprised and gratified to see you rate The Patriot so highly; it was pretty well panned when it came out, but I think it's vastly underrated. Very good movie.

Agreed. Watch the extend cut some time. It does a much better job of fleshing out certain elements of the story, like the rivalry between Tavington and Cornwallis.

But like I said, X-Men stands out as the major exception, and it's a considerable one as the film heralded the beginning of the comic-book age of movie franchises. Sure, it wasn't until Spider-Man in 2002 that things really heated up, but X-Men set the stage in a significant way.

Of every movie in this thread so far, I think High Fidelity is actually the best, so I can't really back this classification.
