Wow, there are only five I haven't seen somehow. And at least two of those (Shrek the Third, Spiderman 3) are ones that I want to see. And I wouldn't object to Transformers or Iron Man. Not so sure about Passion of the Christ.

I watched Passion very impassionately when it was on the telly. I'm with Stan Marsh, that was nothing but a snuff film.

I don't know, I think some of the ideas are interesting. But I'm not sure I could really stand to actually watch it.

We saw this at the Drive-In (back when they still existed). All dad's idea - you were too young at the time to see it so I wouldn't have taken you. (He didn't tell me where we were going.) Fortunately, the speaker system in the car is not nearly as scary as the surround sound in a movie theatre.
