Notice how four of the top 5 are sci-fi movies  ;)

I've only seen six of the 20. That's not bad considering most of my watching these days is classic films or TV shows.

I've seen 13 of those.  Mainly because it was such a good year for Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Comic type films.  The geeks do rule the entertainment world right now!

I've only seen 2 (Indiana Jones & Wall-E) and a half (the last half of Iron Man, we were watching it at work)... :(

Half really is pretty good for any year.  The funny is when they get to the Oscar's.  Those are the movies I generally don't see a lot of.

I'm really glad that someone else saw more than I did!
