[Sculpt]

For the sake of some debate, I'll start out with a few negatives. I really didn't have much appreciation for Shadow of the Vampire, Bubba Ho-Tep and Jeepers Creepers.
- I thought Shadow was a bit disjointed and boorish.
- I thought Bubba was rather niche (for fans of 'Elvis and lowbrow humor' and Bruce Campbell, which I'm one of), a little silly and slow.
- Jeepers just wasn't memorable, except that I remember I didn't care for it. I'll start the vote for excluding it.


I'd like to back these. Thought they all were very good films, in order of enjoyment:

John Dies at the End (2012) - excellently directed with camera shots conveying a very trippy, original and fun film.
Godzilla: Final Wars (2004) - A true postmodern film, best exercise in combining many film themes into one new film, well done, fast paced, lots of fun.
Pan's Labyrinth (2006) - visually fantastic, original story with a lot of heart.
The Butterfly Effect (2004) - If you've seen it without distraction, I think you'll know what I mean -- I wasn't expecting much from this movie, and instead it packs a powerful punch of adrenaline and lingering mood effects, thought was quite effective and interesting story.
The Cell (2000) - ambitious and magnificent display of psychological and subconscious horror.
Constantine (2005) - original idea, well executed in special effects and story.
Vacancy (2007) -- I just enjoyed it. It was simple, but character development and acting produced characters I cared about, effective thriller in that I was on the edge of my seat to see what happens next.
Cloverfield (2008) - effective photorealism on the big screen, very engrossing.
The Others -- well made and executed original idea, a classic
Disturbia (2007) - effective and entertaining thriller.
Daybreakers (2009) - original idea, executed well.
