I had to look up The Pursuit of Happyness as it was the only movie I'm not familiar with.

Only seen six from the list 

Avoided: Borat. The little interest I had was killed by the hype.

Ah-ha!  One I've seen!  I thought this movie was funny.

[bob]

01. $423,315,812 - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - I liked this
05. $217,536,138 - The Da Vinci Code - I really enjoyed this
09. $167,445,960 - Casino Royale - I really liked this
12. $148,213,377 - Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby - proof that at one point in time Will Farell was funny
13. $137,355,633 - Click - on my list of most hated movies 
14. $134,029,801 - Mission: Impossible III - a big fall from MI 1 nad 2, but it's ok even if it makes little sense
16. $128,505,958 - Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan - this is one of those movies where you'll love it the first time you see but will be extremely offended if you see it again
20. $090,710,620 - Scary Movie 4 - this is alright, not on the level of the orginal Scary Movie but most ___ Movie aren't

[Flick James]

The closer these flashbacks get to present day the less I like them. Getting old I guess.

[Pilgermann]

The ones I've seen:

01. $423,315,812 - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest -not very good
03. $244,082,982 - Cars - crap
04. $234,362,462 - X-Men: The Last Stand - crap
07. $198,000,317 - Happy Feet - disappointing
08. $195,330,621 - Ice Age: The Meltdown - pretty lame
10. $163,566,459 - The Pursuit of Happyness -decent, could live without it
12. $148,213,377 - Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby -I do like this one.
13. $137,355,633 - Click - THIS MOVIE IS PURE HELL.

Only others I have any interest in watching are The Departed and Casino Royale.  Movies from that terrible year that aren't in the top spot that I enjoyed:

Stranger Than Fiction
The Prestige
Rescue Dawn
Rocky Balboa
Pan's Labyrinth
Monster House
The Host
Little Miss Sunshine

The closer these flashbacks get to present day the less I like them. Getting old I guess.

I'm the same way, but it's because movies the last couple of years have sucked with almost nothing worth seeing IMO espeically with ______ Movie's all over the place

[Mr. DS]

My oldest was born in early 2006 so no movie going for me that year. 

[InformationGeek]

01. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (Saw it and enjoyed it)
02. Night at the Museum (One of two films that I actually saw in the theater twice. It was a lot better than I thought it would be)
03. Cars (Seen it and enjoyed it a lot)
04. X-Men: The Last Stand (Nope)
05. The Da Vinci Code (So not my type of film)
06. Superman Returns (I'm not even that interested in Superman films to begin with)
07. Happy Feet (Saw this with a girl and we both enjoyed it despite it's green message)
08. Ice Age: The Meltdown (Saw it with my dad.  It's alright)
09. Casino Royale (Nope)
10. The Pursuit of Happyness (What is this?)
11. Over the Hedge (I love this film.  Probably my favorite Dreamworks film)
12. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (I saw this once.  Don't remember much about it)
13. Click (Was a lot better than what I thought.  Probably Adam Sandlers best movie or tied with 50 First Dates)
14. Mission: Impossible III (Didn't see it)
15. The Departed (I'm not really into gangster films)
16. Borat (Not my type of comedy)
17. The Devil Wears Prada (I don't think I'm in the target audience for this)
18. The Break-Up (Don't even know what this is)
19. Dreamgirls (Never saw it)
20. Scary Movie 4 (Didn't even think this was top 20 worthy.  Maybe I should see this?)

[lester1/2jr]

really liked Borat and Talladega nights, both featuring Sasha Baron Cohen

#1–20

01. $423,315,812 - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest...Nope.

02. $250,863,268 - Night at the Museum...Better than I thought and pretty good for the kids.

03. $244,082,982 - Cars....It was alright. Again though, the nephew loved it. He used to watch it 3 times a day!

04. $234,362,462 - X-Men: The Last Stand...My favorite of the 3 X-Men movies made up til then.

05. $217,536,138 - The Da Vinci Code...I went for Audrey Tatou. I should have just rented Amelie.

06. $200,081,192 - Superman Returns...Horrible, crappy, messed up. I'd rather watch Superman 3 with my eyes wired open.

07. $198,000,317 - Happy Feet...Decent kids flick.

08. $195,330,621 - Ice Age: The Meltdown...Missed it.

09. $167,445,960 - Casino Royale...Wow this movie knocked me out, right from the get go. Re-ignited my faith in JAmes Bond movies. At least for awhile...

13. $137,355,633 - Click...The only possible way to watch this movie is to fast forward through any and all parts that don't feature Kate Beckinsale. Can't Adam Sandler just becomoe a millionaire recluse?
