The Top 100 Movies
Ed Brayton posted one of those meme things, so I'll go along. It's a list of the top 100 grossing films of all time, and I've put in bold the ones I've seen in the theater, and in italics the ones I've seen on video. Ed made a few comments on his list, but I've just put the bottom ten, the ones that I thought really sucked, in red, and I tried to put my personal top 10 in blue, but I could only muster enough enthusiasm for 9.

Science-wise, Signs was about the equivalent of Plan Nine from Outer Space but I thought it was mildly enjoyable. Other than that, we're in complete agreement.
