Happy Feet - must say with with my favorite animal and how much I love animation of all sorts.... It couldn't go wrong for me. Acutely thought a little to much on the character development but still loved it.
The Departed
Thank You for Smoking
But I also must note this was not "theater going" year for me as in the past. The 3 you listed Joe, I did not see yet and want to. Rocky is also one I want to see.

The Departed (absoluly amazing)
Casino Royal (the best James Bond no question)
Bon Cop, Bad Cop (one of the funniest movies ever)
Last year was a really good movie year. Hopefully this year is just as good.

I usually wait until movies come out on dvd before seeing them. I use Netflix. I have seen We Are Marshall twice and I would have seen it again this weekend, but the weather is bad. I graduated from Marshall and it's wonderful to see a movie where you recognize the buildings, bridges, etc.:agree:

That's awesome.
They did a good job staying true to the story. The movie covers about one calendar year. There are a few composite characters and a few events were partially fictionalized, but the major points are true to the story. The ending is not Hollywood. That really happened.
I went to see the movie in Huntington over the holidays. Everyone clapped at the end.
Don't leave when it seems that the credits are about to roll. There will be photos of the real life people along side the photos of the actors and some Marshall football footage before the actual credits.

was that another Bruckheimer/Disney production? They didn't really advertise it up here and I think it lasted a week and a half in the major theaters up here... so I don't know much about it.

I'm trying to remember what I've seen this year.
Just saw Dreamgirls and thought the performances were fabulous.
The Lake House. Drawn out and improbable. I enjoyed it because of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. They just have great chemistry.
Memoirs of a Geisha. Reminded me why I enjoyed the book.
Step Up. Somewhat trite, but the leads were likeable.
Pirates of the Caribean 2 - not for me. I thought it was tedious - just seemed to go on and on. My friends were fans of the 1st one and did not like this one.
I think the only other thing I've seen in the theater in 2006 was Curious George with the niece and nephew. Way to infantile to enjoy as an adult.
DVD's; High School Musical. i can definitely understand its popularity with tweens and pre-tweens.

Well...I only got to see one movie in the theatres last year due to me being in the middle of nowhere and having to try and fit in a trip to the movies during medical related trips, but....
I did see A History of Violence for the second time in March. It was actually the day before it came out on DVD too. Nice timing, huh?
I have seen a few of the others that were released at the same time as HoV and I still maintain that it should have gotten many more Oscar noms than it did last year. Especially for Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello, but most especially for David Cronenberg.
If you have a hard time w/violence, then this movie is not for you, but the exploration of whether or not violence is something we're taught or something we learn, as well as issues of identity the movie also explores....Well, there's two various MB's I belong to where we are still having indepth disscusions about this movie. It tends to last a long time.
David Cronenberg is filming his next movie in Britain, again w/Viggo as his leading man and Naomi Watts as the female lead called Eastern Promises. It's about prostitution and the Russian Mob. I can't wait for September and it's bow into theatres!! I think that, The Other Boleyn Girl and the sequel to Elizabeth are the movies I'm looking forward to the most in 2007.
