13 Going on 30.  Yeah, it's a chick flick, but I like it.  A little disappointing with the sexual humor (yes, I'm a prude that way), but generally didn't advocate for immoral sexual behavior, and otherwise a cute and sweet movie.

John Carter.  I like watching movies with subtitles, especially films in a new world and therefore with several new words to define races, nations, planets, etc.  Our remote is lost, so I watched this without subs, which made it hard for me to follow a couple of times.  This was compounded by having the volume down 'cause the kids were sleeping.  Nevertheless, I got some enjoyment out of it, and I found the ending to be very thorough at tying it all together.

Willow.  This may be the first film I remember seeing in the theater.  I was 6 at the time, and remember being surprised that Skeletor made an appearance.  Even now I still love this movie, and it's surprising how it's not rated higher on IMDB.  Sure, it rips off Star Wars with parallels for Luke, Han, the Emperor, Vader, the Force, the Empire, the Rebels, theme, etc.  Nevertheless, it still is very enjoyable to me, and George Lucas came up with the story, so I'm not surprised that he reused his own ideas.  Plus, while I enjoy James Horner's compositions, this may be my favorite of his soundtracks.
