The Mummy is my favorite movie. Stigmata's up there too. The new Battlestar Galactica mini-series really blew me away because it was so much more than I was expecting. I was really surprised at how well the X-Men movies came out. Lots of changes there but the character of the story stayed the same and that's really where most comic book movies go wrong; they change the character of the story. Batman Begins was pretty good for that too. Since it's Singer, I'm expecting good things from Superman this summer. And I'm on pins and needles waiting for Joss Whedon to finish writing Wonder Woman.
Saw V for Vendetta this weekend. I haven't read the graphic novel it was based on but I can't imagine any actor but Hugo Weaving being able to pull off a role where you never see his face even once in the movie. He was outstanding. The rest of the movie was pretty good too (and I didn't feel sorry for Natalie Portman for having terrible terrible dialogue like I did when I saw Star Wars III, so that's a plus). Won't say anything else on it though because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet (and if you haven't, you should).
I like the early horror movies too. And when I grow up, I want to be Gene Kelly. I grew up on the old Hollywood musicals.
