So with all the movies we have watched this year there is no way that we couldn't compile a best and worst list. We watched a total of 462 movies this year....yes, i said 462. Now some of you may think that is pathetic, but we think it is quite awesome. And that number isn't even counting the mulitple times that we watched certain movies, and also doesn't count tv shows. Counting all of those we would easily be in the 600's. We are quite amazing. Yes, we are. Unfortunately a lot of the movies we watched this year were not movies that came out this year. These lists do not include many of the highly acclaimed movies that have recently come out (i.e. gran turino, the wrestler, slumdog millionaire, doubt, synechdoche ny, the reader, revolutionary road, etc.) because like i have said before they haven't come to cedar city or even st. george so there is no way we could have seen them. These lists only include the movies that we have seen. There were some crappy movies out there this year that we did not see and that's why they don't show up here. Without further ado, our lists of the best and worst.

There you have it folks. Now go watch all of these movies. Neither of our lists contain a single 'R' rated movie, so you can all go watch them. However, by the time these movies that we didn't get to see come out on video, these lists will probably change. But i love our lists.

That is a ton of movies, but it's something you guys like to do so that's totally fine by me. And I always enjoy your lists so I won't complain.
I actually enjoyed Hancock. Not so much the "twist" but as a whole I liked it, but I really like Will Smith so maybe that's one of the reasons. Twilight would definitely be on my worst-movie list. Blah. Big heads and bad acting.
I really can't believe you watched that many movies. However, I am sure I watched just as many hours worth of television. So I guess movies would have been a better use of my time. I wonder if Indiana Jones would have still been on your bad list if it didn't have such a lame ending?
