National Treasure is definitely on my list. I thought it would be pretty bad but I really enjoyed it.

I also enjoyed the Bridge Jones diary part 2. Another one i thought would suck was the Lemony Snickets movie w/jim carey, which was actually really good.

PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN!!!

I forgot what movie I went to see that was sold out and was forced to see this or go home, and DAAAMN I was mad happy when I left.

GREAT MOVIE.

Yea, that too. I thought a movie based off a ride would SUCK, but I was wrong. I was in Plano, Texas on business by myself, and went to the local mall looking to kill time after my project was done for the day. That movie was playing there, so I gave it chance with nothing better to do, and loved it.

Adaptation, The Usual Suspects (didn't like the movie until the end), Kill Bill Vol 1

And let me take this opportunity to say Lord of the Rings sucked.. I walked out of #2 and fell asleep during 3. Most overrated movies ever.

I second:
Eurotrip (I still watch this about once a month)
Dodgeball (same with this one)
Love Actually

I've found that if I go into a movie expecting to see dripple and its somewhere above that I'm happy. However if I have ANY inclination that a movie is going to be good I'm almost invariably let down by it. Now I hate everything before I go see it. I try not to watch commercials or read any articles about it. I just watch the movie.
