This is turning just into a listing....
...So I'll join in!

To be honest I am easily impressed, for instance I love the Alien v Predator movies because I love both of their originals, the movies could be the predator and the aliens dancing to the time warp for 2 hours and I'd still think its amazing.

However my favourite movies are:

V for Vendetta: Not only does it have the best monologue

"V: Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villian by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. (he carves a "V" into a sign) The only verdict is vengence; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. (giggles) Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
Evey: Are you like a crazy person?
V: I'm quite sure they will say so."

in a movie in my opinion, but it also has a view of the future which is totally believable in the short run. It has an awesome main character in a cool mask which I WILL be buying for Halloween and it also has a rather heart warming ending where the people finally stand up for themselves and show that a ruler should be scared of its people rather than the other way round and instills the message that one small person can make a huge difference.

28 Weeks later: Purely because of the artistic merit really, it has one of the best sound tracks ever (muse slightly over used, good song though) and some absolutely awesome camera shots (were the guy is standing on the wall for instance and the fighter jets zoom over, beautiful).

Iron man: Ok, I have recently become a bit of a Marvel geek and bought loads of comics. However this movie appeals to Marvel nerds and normal people (like me until recently) it has a good story, some really good jokes and some good old fashioned ass kicking.

Thats it for now I guess, tell me what you thought of these movies if you watch them as a result of this!

You get a click for this admission:

"the movies could be the predator and the aliens dancing to the time warp for 2 hours and I'd still think its amazing."

I would pay handsomely for... about 30 seconds of that, but it's the principle that counts.
