Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind:
I saw this in the theatre somewhere near the beginnning of Summer and loved it. They should give Jim Carey an oscar, and I'm totally serious about that.

The Manchurian Canidate:
I really, really, loved this movie. I was pretty sure I'd like it but I didn't know I'd enjoy it as much as I did. Lot's of people were like this one has nothing on the original with Frank Sinatra but I have no love affair with him and I've never seen the original. I thought this movie was fantastic.

Hands down Spider-man2...best film of the summer. This film has it all, action, adventure, some humor, a great love story...great characters...good actors...esp. Tobey MaGuire who's given the most outstanding performance of Peter Parker anyone can ask for.

I would say that "Bourne Supremacy" and "Collateral" are close seconds...both are really good films with outstanding lead actors.

For me its Spider Man 2 also, I'm sooo biased but hey I just thought Spidey as a tragic hero worked so well. It was close to being better than every day human drama.

The Bourne Supremacy kicked so much ass! Second fave!

Spider-Man 2 has to be the best for me so far. I, Robot comes in a close second.

For me it would have to be Supersize Me, if only because of the effect the movie had on me.

I don't eat fast food, anyway (EWW!), but this seriously made me pay attention to health and healthy weight issues - we need more movies like this to wakeup the US and get this epidemic of obesity under control.

Garden State was my favorite for the summer. So frickin' good.

I also loved Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban, Saved!, and Spiderman 2. Oh, and I forgot Fahrenheit 9/11! Adore that.

Word! That's the biggest appeal to the movie IMO
