Hellboy was a pleasant suprise.
Kill Bill v.2 kicked ass.
Spiderman 2 was good, but not as good as the hype IMO. A bit of a disappointment, but still a nice movie.
Anchorman was hilarious.

those are pretty much the only memorable movies for me in 04.

Hero was very pretty to look at. Great cinematography... But I couldn't wait for it to end, and left the theater feeling slightly bored.

Hero is a long movie, and you get lied to repeatedly. Which rocks, but once you get the shtick you stop caring so much about the retellings since you start to figure they arent real and dont matter anyway.

I must be the only person on the planet who thought The Terminal was really good.

Otherwise, Kill Bill Vol. 2. I've not seen much otherwise that I liked.

No longer boycotting the Wolfenstein franchise
1. Collateral
2. Kill Bill Vol 2
3. Hero

The Bourne Supremacy was pretty sweet, but I don't really think it's all that memorable. I've probably seen 20-30 films in theater this year, but most were either bad or not memorable. The Manchurian Candidate might be worth mentioning, but I'm still not sure about the ending.

I haven't had the time or opportunity to see the following yet, but they're films I think I'd particularly enjoy: Twilight Samurai, Zatoichi, Garden State, Mean Creek and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Here's a list of my favorites so far this year. (in order)

The Manchurian Candidate
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Collateral

Most everything this summer, and YES, I mean almost every damn movie I watched either seemed incomplete and rushed to take advantage of the summer sales, or was just outright shit.

Worst summer for movies that I remember, thank fuk'n god for those 3 I mentioned above. :D

So far, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Garden State.

Also, since this is the year of the documentary, a shout out to all the docu-esque flicks I've seen: Fahrenheit 9/11, The Corporation, Super Size Me, and Control Room. Outfoxed and Hunting of the President are coming soon to a theatre near me as well.

Pfft, you only listed the cynical, polemic-minded documentaries. I like Super Size Me, but Touching the Void and Story of the Weeping Camel(quasi-doco) deserve more credit than The Corporation, Outfoxed, and ugh, Fahrenheit 9/11.

edit: Hey, I just saw your tag...
