The Dark Knight
Hancock
Brick Lane
Swing Vote
Babylon A.D. (Wanted might've been better, but I doubt it - Babylon A.D. somehow managed to have more words in it! Plus, it's the first time I have ever NOT wanted to screw Gerard Depardieu - they made him look terrible).

There was stuff I saw on DVD that I enjoyed more than a few of those. And tv. Aside from The Dark Knight (especially) and Hancock, the summer wasn't that amazing. And you throw in the couple really bad and/or not-great movies... :)

Didn't see Iron Man. The latter...if you just wanted a good 3-D experience, then it was great. Otherwise, wasn't very impressed. I miss the 90's Brendan Fraser.

Mine:


Iron Man
Hellboy II
The Dark Knight
Kung Fu Panda + Foot Fist Way


STILL haven't seen Wall-e :-( I'm lame.

Also, from the indie and int'l art house collection: Up the Yangtze, Chop Shop, Reprise, Tell No One and Frozen River! Good stuff.

Oh, yeah! Chop Shop was great.

I enjoyed Shotgun Stories, too.

Wall-E
Dark Night
The Wackness
Encounters at the End of the World
Horton Hears a Who (hmm... more like Spring, but I LOVED this!)

Now if only Pineapple Express were a wee bit funnier, it woulda made my "tops" list.

Looking forward to "Burn After Reading", still counts as summer right?
