Super 8 (2011)
--------Day 1: The best movie you saw during the last year.---------
Yeah sure, the alien part of Super 8 was total BS, but the characters were likable and very entertaining, though I gotta say, they're kind of a rip off of the Goonies.

-----------------Day 2: The most underrated movie.------------------
Honestly, I found this way more tasteful than Monty Python's Holy Grail, but that could be because, for one thing, I don't really enjoy dark humour, and another, that I know a lot more about Norse Mythology than I do about the Holy Grail story.

Mamma Mia! (2008)
------------------Day 3: Movie that makes you happy.----------------
Mamma Mia! makes me giggle, just so funny to see people in their 50's singing and trying to dance, especially to ABBA.

People who added this item 2482 Average listal rating (1412 ratings) 8.1 IMDB Rating 8.1
------------------Day 4: Movie that makes you really sad.-------------
The man's just treated like total crap throughout the film, it's heartbreaking but also terrifying to know it was someone's real life.


Langley's rating:
People who added this item 1288 Average listal rating (809 ratings) 7.2 IMDB Rating 7.3
------------------Day 5: Favorite love story in a movie.---------------
Lars is "in love" with a sex doll and Margo, a real girl, is in love with him. How the whole story presents itself and how the movie ends is really sweet and cute.


Langley's rating:
People who added this item 15 Average listal rating (6 ratings) 7.2 IMDB Rating 7.3
--------------------Day 6: Favorite made for TV movie.----------------
Great acting and love the whole idea of the film.


Langley's rating:
People who added this item 4295 Average listal rating (2834 ratings) 7.4 IMDB Rating 7.6
------------Day 7: The most surprising plot twist or ending.-----------
The ending was weird, didn't really expected it to end like that.

People who added this item 2375 Average listal rating (1481 ratings) 7.8 IMDB Rating 7.7
Blue Velvet (1986)
-----------Day 8: A movie that you've seen countless times.------------
Wow, seen this so many times it's crazy. Blue Velvet is both so awkward and hilarious to watch, I love it.


Langley's rating:
People who added this item 444 Average listal rating (281 ratings) 7 IMDB Rating 7.2
-----------------Day 9: A movie with the best soundtrack.-------------
Remember watching this in the theater, I just felt like getting up and dancing, loved every performance. The man was a musical genius.

City Lights (1931)
---------------------Day 10: Favorite classic movie--------------------
One of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. The ending was so touching, made me both cry and smile.

Gran Torino (2008)
-------Day 11: Movie that changed your opinion about something.-------
When I first watched Gran Torino, I didn't think it would be any good, but I soon found out there was more to it then a old man being cranky for no reason lol.


Langley's rating:
People who added this item 2360 Average listal rating (1580 ratings) 7.2 IMDB Rating 7.8
--------------------Day 12: Movie that you hate.----------------------
Never in my life did I wanted a movie to end so badly. This was so boring, and dragged on forever. The character's were unlikable, especially Ethan Hawke's character, he was so selfish.

Gattaca's Sci Fi setting was quite dull and depressing, so really there wasn't anything going for this movie.

People who added this item 3234 Average listal rating (2146 ratings) 6.7 IMDB Rating 7
Underworld (2003)
-----------------Day 13: Movie that is a guilty pleasure.---------------
Not so much of a guilty pleasure, I just think it's very different compared to other action flicks. Underworld actually has a good story, very well executed, and I love the setting and visuals.

People who added this item 4890 Average listal rating (3209 ratings) 8.2 IMDB Rating 8.2
Taxi Driver (1976)
------------Day 14: A movie that no one expects you to love.-----------
Usually not into slow films, but I really liked Taxi Driver.


Langley's rating:
People who added this item 3982 Average listal rating (2604 ratings) 7.6 IMDB Rating 8.3
-------Day 15: A character who you can relate to the most.---------
The first time watching this film, I felt very uncomfortable because of how much Will Hunting acted like me.

People who added this item 2899 Average listal rating (2032 ratings) 6.9 IMDB Rating 7.6
Superbad (2007)
--------------Day 16: Movie you used to love but now hate.-----------
I never liked this movie, I just didn't think it was that bad when I first saw it, it was just a bit boring. Now that I look back on it, Superbad has some of the most annoying main characters, ironically played by 2 of the most annoying actors, in my opinion.


Langley's rating:
People who added this item 516 Average listal rating (295 ratings) 6.8 IMDB Rating 6.9
-------------Day 17: Movie that disappointed you the most.------------
It honestly felt like my brain was literally dying from watching this. To be frank, I'm to blame for expecting some Sci Fi action to happen, like seeing the trip to the other Earth at least, but still.


Langley's rating:
People who added this item 244 Average listal rating (132 ratings) 7.7 IMDB Rating 7.5
--------------Day 18: Movie you wish more people would see.----------
Survive Style 5+ is funny, stylish, coloful, just so unique.


Langley's rating:
People who added this item 4431 Average listal rating (3025 ratings) 6.8 IMDB Rating 7.1
----------Day 19: Favorite movie based on a book/comic book.---------
One of my all time favorite movies, I practically know every line. Love the atmosphere, the characters, the costumes, and the world is just so dark and submerging.

While I do like the Dark Knight, I will always think of Batman and Batman Returns as the best Batman movies. They're fun and feel more like the Batman cartoons I grew up with.

Insomnia (1997)
----------------Day 20: Favorite Movie from Favorite Actor.------------
I've watched most of Stellan Skarsgard's movies.
Insomnia is one of his best.

People who added this item 2028 Average listal rating (1344 ratings) 6.9 IMDB Rating 7.2
GoldenEye (1995)
---------------------Day 21: Favorite action movie.-------------------
I've only seen 3 James Bond movies so far, all with Pierce Brosnan. They're all equally enjoyable, but Goldeneye was the first I saw.


Langley's rating:
People who added this item 490 Average listal rating (345 ratings) 6.9 IMDB Rating 7.6
Religulous (2008)
---------------------Day 22: Favorite documentary.-------------------
Not that you learn anything new from this film, it's just really funny.


Langley's rating:
--------------------Day 23: Favorite animation (movie).----------------
Pokemon was a big part of my early childhood, and I absolutely love the first movie. It's short, lovable, and I cry every time. Surely will forever hold a special place in my heart.


Langley's rating:
------------Day 24: Favorite Movie from Favorite Actress.-------------
Don't really have a favorite actress, but I did like Noomi Rapace in the Girl With Dragon Tattoo.


Langley's rating:
People who added this item 1145 Average listal rating (793 ratings) 7.4 IMDB Rating 7.7
-------------Day 25: Most hilarious movie you've ever seen.-----------
A bit slow at first, but as it progresses, it gets really funny.


Langley's rating:
People who added this item 2342 Average listal rating (1511 ratings) 6.3 IMDB Rating 6.5
Silent Hill (2006)
---------Day 26: Movie that you love but everyone else hates.----------
In my opinion, the best video game movie. Keeps loyal to the Silent Hill video games, bringing the same story in a different light. Unlike Resident Evil, some people may not have enjoy the Silent Hill movie because it's lack of action, but it is this that I liked, the fact that it doesn't abandon it's original genre to appeal to a certain audience.

This was truly a film made for fans, as the makers of this movie included appearances by the most popular monsters in the video games as well as the music by Akira Yamaoka.


Langley's rating:
People who added this item 3460 Average listal rating (2452 ratings) 7.9 IMDB Rating 8.4
Aliens (1986)
--------Day 27: A movie that you wish you had seen in theaters.--------
A great film I would have loved to see in theaters, but unfortunately I wouldn't be around for another 7 years.


Langley's rating:
People who added this item 643 Average listal rating (336 ratings) 8.1 IMDB Rating 7.7
-------------Day 28: Favorite Movie from Favorite Director.------------
So far, I've enjoyed every film I've ever seen from Kitano Takeshi. Hana-bi was the first I watched from him, and was really entertained all the way through. It has just the right amount of drama & action, a bit slow paced at first, but eventually picks up.


Langley's rating:
--------------------Day 29: Movie from your childhood.----------------
Saw it again recently, still an enjoyable flick, though I gotta say, it does drag on much longer than the norm for kids movies, which must have been killing our parents watching this back then.


Langley's rating:
People who added this item 2263 Average listal rating (1456 ratings) 7.8 IMDB Rating 7.9
-----------------Day 30: You're Favorite Film of All Time.---------------
Let the Right One In is such an stunning film. Visually is the most beautiful movie I've ever seen with great acting and an intriguing story. I could watch it over and over again and it would fascinate me just as much as the first time.
