Movies that are totally NOT over-rated.

You know, some movies arent over rated at all, they really are just THAT good. Here are some of my fav's.


1. The Dark Night. It is worth all the hype its getting because its amazing. I never wanted it to end.

2. Lars and the Real Girl. I was kind of worried that it would be one of those "oohh yeah its so awesome just because its indie" movies that really arent that great but people worship just to be cool *coughGardenStatecough* But it really is sweeet, and Ryan Gosling is so awkward and wonderful and your heart just breaks for the guy. I loved it :)

3. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Even if you cant get into story (even though its really easy to get sucked into the nerdy tractor beam of LOTR knowledge) Its a feast for the eyes. I mean, so much detail was put into it, they didnt leave anything out. Its so rich and in depth that you just get swept away watching it.

4.Forrest Gump. I have to admit, i didnt like it when it first came out. But uh... i was 6 so, cut me some slack. I didnt understand all the things that were going on. I didnt understand how awesome it was to view history through the unbiased eyes of a child. What is sad though is that Jenny died of AIDS... after she slept with Forrest... meaning Forrest and possibly Forrest Jr. probably have AIDS too...

5. Superbad. Its not overrated because everyone knew those guys in highschool. Every one has known a few nerdy perv's who sat in their dads basement drinking cheap beer and watching porn. I'd say its the most accurate highschool movie of our generation. Then again, some girls grew up in a "mean girls/breakfast club" highschool and i never did so... yeah.

6. Love Actually. I hate chick flicks. HATE them. A LOT. But i love this movie. Mostly because it shows all different types of love, and how it's not perfect. But it also shows how beautiful it can be. Makes me believe in love, as unbelievably corny as that sounds.

7. The Boondock Saints. I'm not very big on action movies, but i think this brings more to the table then your average action movie. Its a movie about Justice, and what it really means. No i dont support what their doing, but i dont support a corrupt system either. BAH just watch it if you havent. its good.

8. Good Will Hunting. By far the best Robin Williams movie, heck its my favorite Matt Damon movie.

9. The Usual Suspects. 100% Badass.

10. Pulp Fiction. One of those 'must see' movies. Its delightful, really.




thats all i got for now, but i'll probably think of more later. bye!

Lars and the Real Girl is one of my favorite movies. My heart just breaks for him and I so badly want to have a lars in my life.

Have you seen the movie Cashback? If not, add it to your list of movies to see. It is beautiful.

So is the Movie Candy. HeathLedger is phenomenal in it.

That's my two cents.
