And it's been forever, but wasn't Duncan Idaho a mega badass in the book? I don't remember him being exactly that in the movie.

Everyone covered my favorites so I really nothing to add other than a list of those I considered the best.
Moon Inception Prometheus (Has its flaws but still dug it overall) Distinct 9 (Though I'm not sure if it will stand up as well on a second viewing. I knew nothing before seeing it in the theater.) Looper Star Trek Source Code Pandorum |

I'm not going to put a top 10 or top 5 together, but here are movies I've enjoyed.
Jumper Looper Watchmen Surrogates Star Trek The Road Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel In Time Paul Cloud Atlas The Hunger Games All told, I'm confident the best is yet to come, because with the good, there has been a shitload of absolute crap. Lockout? Please.

Speaking of book adaptations, I'm really excited/nervous for Ender's Game.

Fraz's Dune is my 'Bonfire of the Vanities.' Perhaps the best book I read in JHS turned into an unrecognizable mess on the big screen. It has jaundiced my opinion of De Palma [yes THAT De Palma] to this day. It hardens my heart against Bruce Willis more than any other shitty movie or Kevin Smith diatribe I've come across to date. It's like if you told all your friends that XXXyyy had the best pizza on earth, and finally cajoled them into trying some. Then, when you get there, their only pizza has seagull shit laying in piles on top of it, and you're like "well obviously I wasn't praising seagull shit pizza, but you've GOT to believe me . . . "
