#60 - Amazing Grace - A little-seen bio pic about the man who ended the slave trade in England and the main who wrote perhaps the most famous song ever written.
#59 - Enchanted - A fish out of water movie about a cartoon princess who gets banished to the real world with a great performance by Amy Adams.
#58 - Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End - The movie doesn't make a lick of sense but it is a fun ride while you're in the theaters. The obvious comparison would be the third Matrix movie and it's light years better than that.
#57 - The Lives Of Others - The 2006 winner for Best Foreign Language film at the Oscars, The Lives Of Others is a tense, but slow-moving look at life in East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
#56 - Talk To Me - Another year another great role for Don Cheadle, this time he plays a legendary disc jockey in a bio-pic that doesn't pull any punches.
#55 - Hairspray - A fun musical that improves on the original but doesn't inspire repeat viewings.
#54 - The Invisible - It looks like yet another stupid teen horror re-make, but it's actually a rather interesting and well-acted film, though it is in fact a teen horror re-make.
#53 - Death Sentence - A pure popcorn movie with a lot of violence, a fast pace and a great performance by Kevin Bacon.
#52 - 1408 - It's pretty much a one man play, but when that man is John Cusack and the "play" is based on a short story by Stephen King it can work out just fine.
#51 - A Mighty Heart - The fact that Angelina Jolie wasn't nominated for Best Actress and Cate Blanchett was for the horrifyingly poorly reviewed Elizabeth: The Golden Age just shows how how much unfair influence the Brit Bloc has on the Academy Awards. In this movie, she's incredibly intense and it's remarkable that the movie didn't do well at the box office.
