# 18 NEW TOP 10 LIST

1. A Walk To Remember
It made my list because it is romantic and at the same time sad, which is just what i like. This movie made me realize that you shouldn't wait until you lose someone to tell them you love them.

2. The Prestige
This movie is my second favorite because i love how it keeps me trying to guess whats going to happen next. You don't realize whats going on unless you really pay attention to the movie.

3. Cold Mountain

This movie is one of the best I've seen. I love it because it's a drama/romance movie. It show how real love is unforgettable and that if you really love someone you will do anything to get them back.

I love this movie because there is so much action in this movie. I like how he doesn't know who he is yet he still remembers all the fighting skills he learned back when he was an assassin.

Gone With The Wind
This movie is great because its not like any other love story where the couple lives happily ever after. I love this movie because its based on a love story that happened hundredths of years ago and i love really old movies.

7. The Bourne Ultimatum
I love this movie because its such a thrilling movie to watch. Its one of the two sequels of The Bourne Identity but I think this one was the best. I went to go see in theatres because I knew I couldn't miss it.

8. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
I absolutely love this movie and I think its the best movie of 2008. Everything about this movie was great, the characters, the plot, I really enjoyed watching it.

#16 MEET THE PARENTS

Meet The Parents is comedy film starring Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. The story follows a male nurse and his girlfriend's parents. When he spends the weekend with his girlfriend's family many unfortunate events happen. I like this movie because every situation Greg gets into is so hilarious. Like when he burns down the chapel for his sister-in-law's wedding. It was so funny because every thing burned down and he didn't even do it on purpose. I enjoyed watching Meet The Parents because the situations Ben Stiller's character had to go through are not so common but it could happen. I loved Robert De Niro in this movie, I thought he was great as an over protective father. His character was so funny, and I got a good laugh out of all the crazy things he did to spy on Greg (Stiller) and how he was so overprotective of his daughter, I thought that was really cute because every dad is like that but De Niro was way too overprotective, that is kind of cute but creepy at the same time. One of my favorite scenes was when all the family is at Kevin's (Owen Wilson) house playing volleyball in the pool and Stiller's character hits his sister-in-law with the ball in her face making her bleed. I thought that was hilarious because everything that could go wrong went wrong. This movie is so funny, and had a great cast. I like this movie because its not a comedy that is funny because it puts the character in situations that are not normal, this movie is funny because the main character is put in situations that any of us could go through in life so its not as exaggerated as other comedies. Meet The Parents is a great comedy film and I recommend every one to watch it.

#15 JUNO

Juno is a comedy-drama film directed by Jason Reitman and written by Diablo Cody. This film is about a young teenage girl, Juno, played by Ellen Page, who gets pregnant and agrees with her family and boyfriend Paulie Bleeker, portrayed by Michael Cera to give the baby up for adoption. Juno faces a lot of pressure to make the right decision for her and the baby. This movie is a great movie to watch with family and friends. It really teaches a lesson to young girls about being careful and using protection. I like how they didn't make Juno's pregnancy so dramatic they took the situation and made it fun to watch and they made Juno make the best of it. The writer didn't just make Juno have an abortion and that is a good thing because it's teaching young girls that you don't always have to take the easy way out. It really got me and my friends thinking what we would do if we were in Juno's situation and its sad to think about it because many teenage girls are getting pregnant at 15 and don't know what to do. Another reason why I like Juno is because its a movie girls can relate too and they can understand that there are other options if you don't want to keep the baby. I also like how Juno's family and boyfriend support her in her decision and I like how they didn't make her get rid of the baby. This movie is one of my favorite movies because every time I watch it I remind myself of the consequences of not using protection and that its not always as easy as it is for Juno in the movie. I really enjoyed watching Juno and I'm certain that so did every one else who watched it. Its such a funny film but its not like other comedies because this one teaches you a great lesson about life and decisions. I recommend every one to watch Juno and I guarantee that every one who watches it will enjoy it.

#14 THE PRESTIGE

The Prestige is a fantasy film directed by Christopher Nolan. The film was adapted from Christopher Priest's 1995 Fantasy Award winning novel of the same name. Its a story that follows Robert Angier, played by Hugh Jackman, and Alfred Borden, stage magicians engaging in a rivalry over a stage illusion. The rivalry starts when Alfred Borden, played by Christian Bale, accidentally kills Robert Angier's wife played by Piper Perabo, following that incident both magicians do whatever it takes to steal each others magic tricks. I love this movie because it seems so realistic, it had me thinking that all the events really happened I thought it was based on a true story when I first saw the movie. I loved everything about The Prestige, I liked how every scene had dark lighting because it made the movie seem more dramatic and mysterious. This movie had me trying to guess what would happen next, I like not knowing what is going to happen next in a movie and The Prestige is definitely not a predictable movie. It's also a movie that every one can enjoy watching. It may be a little confusing for some people though but if you watch and pay attention to every detail in the movie you might know what is going on with out having to wait until the end. I really enjoyed watching this movie because I like how at the end every question you had about what happened in the movie is answered by a quick recap of the movie. I liked all the characters in the movie because they were so realistic and the machines that Jackman's character used to do his trick was one of my favorite things about The Prestige. Every one who appreciates great movies such as this one will really enjoy The Prestige and will want to watch it more than once. The Prestige definitely lives up to its name because with all the awards it won it gained a lot of prestige. I strongly recommend every one to go and watch The Prestige because I'm sure any one who watches it will enjoy it.

#13 RUSHMORE

Rushmore is a comedy-drama film about a young teenager named Max Fishcer, played by Jason Schwartzman, that becomes friends with a rich guy named Herman Blume portrayed by Bill Murray, who is much older than him and they both fall in love with an elementary school teacher Rosemary Cross played by Olivia Williams. I didn't really like this movie because I didn't find the plot of the story interesting. There is nothing funny about this movie, every scene was boring, there was no hook to it. Nothing in this movie made me want to keep watching it, I was bored since the beginning of the movie but I kept watching it in hope that it would get better but it never did. I honestly don't understand how critics said this was "the best comedy of the year" in 1998 there is nothing good about this movie it didn't make me laugh not even a grin. I also disagree with what the other critics when they said Rushmore was "the best and most beautiful movie of 1998" I disagree because it really is not a good movie and I doubt that it was the best movie of 1998 because I'm sure there were funnier and better movies in 1998. I didn't find any of the characters funny, I mean sure the main character was funny looking but that is not enough to make a movie a good comedy. Rushmmore is definitely not a movie I would watch more than once because I didnt find anything in the movie funny. I didnt think the plot or the characters were funny. I dont think any one looking to get a good laugh would enjoy watching this movie.I really wouldn't waste my time watching Rushmore again because it just isn't worth it. I don't recommend this movie to anyone who loves comedies because this movie just shouldn't even be considered a comedy, it's not funny at all.

#11 THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a fantasy-drama film and its such an amazing movie. I loved everything from the characters til the last detail in every scene. The whole setup for the movie was great, the make up for Brad Pitt's character Benjamin was so realistic. It makes you really think he really looks like that. The plot for the movie was so good, and different from other movies I have seen. Its amazing how this movie turned out because I normally wouldn't be interested in watching a movie that is not so realistic like this one. I didn't think it was going to be so good with a plot about a boy being born old and instead of growing old he gets younger. I just can't get enough of this movie its so amazing, I never thought I would get to see such an awesome movie. I love how this movie isn't just another romance movie about a couple that falls in love, although Benjamin does have a love interest, Daisy, played by Cate Blanchett, the movie isn't just about them but she does play an important part in this movie. She was great as Benjamin's girlfriend, she did such a great job and Brad Pitt and her made such an outstanding job as a couple in love. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was such an interesting movie that made every one want to watch it over and over again and I'm sure we will never get over watching it. The movie is just so great you can never watch it enough times. This movie deserves every prestigious award there is because it truly is the best movie of 2008. I definitely recommend every one to watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button because im sure any one who watches it will really enjoy it and would agree with me that its the best movie ever made.

#10 RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK

Raiders of the Lost Ark is an action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg. This movie was realeased in 1981. Raiders of the Lost Ark is about a man, Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford, who searches for the Lost Ark but he has to fight against Nazis to get it. I really loved this movie because there was so much action in it, I was on the edge of my seat waiting to know what would happen next. I loved every scene of the movie, but one of my favorite scenes was when the Nazis trap Indiana Jones and his lady friend underground after they find the Lost Ark. I was in suspense thinking that they would be trapped there forever. I thought that the actors did a great job especially when they had to be trapped with a bunch of snakes. I thought the movie was very detailed and it was not confusing at all, like other movies I've seen that have the audience all confused and not even knowing what is going on in the movie. Every one who watches this movie will agree that Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark is a movie you wont regret watching and you can't miss out on watching such a great movie like this one. It's because of the great success of this movie that more than one sequel were made for this movie but I can say with no doubt about it this is the best movie of all the Indiana Jones movies. I really wish everyone would watch this movie because I know that not only kids will enjoy it but also parents will love this movie. Raiders of the Lost Ark is and will be the best Indiana Jones movie and has to be watched by every one who enjoys a great movie with action and adventure in it.
