You've more foresight than I. I put many, many hopes in Van Helsing, which is perhaps why I hate it so much. Constantine wasn't as much of a disappointment for me because I didn't have as much time to anticipate it.
I know what you mean, but did you really think you'd like Alien vs. Predator? I'm glad you've set the precedent for hating multiple movies because I'm stealing that idea. This listing thing is hard! Yours must've taken you days to write up. It's going to take me days, at any rate. My lists aren't even in order yet, but I've at least got them down to 10 each:
BEST: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind* The Holy Grail Shaun of the Dead Little Miss Sunshine* The Boondock Saints Cruel Intentions Clue* Pirates of the Caribean The Truman Show 12 Angry Men Snow White: A Tale of Terror The Life Aquatic* Dead Poets Society*The Terminal Dead Poets Society* Edward Scissorhands My Fair Lady
*these might get kicked off not because I don't love them, but because I don't know if I'd want to watch them and only them over and over again for the rest of eternity. I think that's the requirement for my BEST list.
WORST:
Van Helsing The Matrix 2 & 3 Van Helsing Star Wars episodes 2 & 3 Underworld The Village The Lord of the Rings series Resident Evil Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. That's right, I went there. Van Helsing
There's a chance I might have to put more thought into my WORST list. I'll get back to you.
RE the rest of your post: I've been avoiding seeing those movies (though I'd well anticipated them) because everyone has given them such horrible reviews. Even my own dear father, whose media opinion I worship unless it's convenient not to do so, has given Stranger Than Fiction the Thumbs Down. However, if you like them, they can't be that bad. I've added them to the que of movies you've made me want to watch.
