5) The Bourne Ultimatum
This was just a great all around action movie. Smart and intense with a fast pace and an entertaining storyline. Even the acting and writing were alright. Full Review
4) Into the Wild
It would be difficult to not be intrigued by the story of Into the Wild. This movie is beautifully shot and well executed in every way. Full Review
3) Fugitive Pieces
A haunting tale that nobody should miss if you have the good fortune of being within driving distance of a theatre that will play it. Look for Fugitive Pieces in a slightly less limited release in the spring. Full Review
2) American Gangster
American Gangster is not being universally loved, but for me it was almost perfect. I don't think I've ever seen Denzel Washington better. Full Review
1) The Darjeeling Limited
The Darjeeling Limited is another one that is getting mixed reviews but not from me. This movie hit on every emotion in existence and may be Wes Anderson's best movie to date. Full Review

I think I am about to do a post like this over at mine...
All of these are good if not great movies...
i'll have to check out fugitive pieces. not sure why i didnt really connect with darjeeling limited...
I love Anderson's movies, and enjoyed Darjeeling, but was still let down with it. Who knows - maybe on repeat viewings it will get better. Then again, maybe my expectations were just too high. But it will be hard for anything he puts out to top Rushmore or Tenenbaums in my book.
Interesting top 5.
have only seen your #5. seems i have some work to do. might skip to darjeeling though. after i finish watching planet earth
Interesting list.
Here's my top 5:
1. 300
2. Die Hard 4.0
3. Spider-Man 3
4. Transformers
5. Stardust
thanks for the comment soundtrack, though Spiderman 3 shouldn't be on any list that doesn't start with "worst of..." in my opinion.
Hello there is so many movies in that year that got the best movies ever .bye
