For me right now, it's Chronicles of Riddick. However, I did see this movie before Pitch Black, but even after watching that, I still thought it was a great movie. What about you?

I think Starship Troopers is an excellent movie. And yes, I can say that with a straight face.

Ebert loved Starship Troopers as a guilty pleasure.. I did too, even though it was nothing like the book.. I mean the only things they got right was some of the characters names and loosely the arachnids.

P2. I thought the concept of having on guy hunt someone in an empty parking garage for the entire movie was an interesting concept.

Starship Troopers is one of the best Sci-Fi Books of all time.. Its basically the Lord of the Rings, for modern day sci-fi's.. Things like Warhammer 40k, Starcraft, Halo etc etc are universes that got its inspiration and ideas from Starship Troopers.

I enjoyed the Saw movies, despite them being slammed by reviewers left and right. I know they could be better though; spending more than a year on each sequal would've been nice.

300 and Beowulf got positive reviews by the majority of critics. The Punisher was also great.. The Russian vs Frank was classic.

I dont go with the Critics. They generally hate the movies I love. If I listen to any type of review for anything, its generally a User reviews like on GS for games and such.

Saw reviews, I-V

The first Saw scored below 50%, and each sequal gradually scored less and less.

oh come on, how can you love that ? :| it was sooooo bad.

"What if the comet that hit the Earth and destroyed the dinosaurs created another dimension?" Or, "First and last names please." "Mario Mario" "First AND last sir" "Mario Mario" "Fine. Next!" (person walks up) "First and last name please." "Luigi Mario" "Those are two first names..." "Luigi Mario" Or how about Luigi being Mario's adopted son? Or Luigi being a Mexican? Not to mention the God awful acting and story. Now to answer the question, I say Dragon Wars. One of the funniest commedies I ever saw, it puts the Scary Movies to shame.
