I was going to say that I have bad taste — I’ve seen only 12 of the best films (so far) — but it turns out that I’ve seen zero of the stinkers. (Self-esteem intact!)

I have seen 6 in the best and 1 in the worst.
Only 9 of the best (hey, the economy’s tight, and the movie has to be REALLY GOOD to be worthy of paying a babysitter), but zero of the stinkers, so I don’t feel too bad.
What happened to Beverly Hills chihuahua? That movie was soo funny and cute… a real break from all the violent or lame movies out there ….
I’ve seen 22 of the “best” movies and 0 of the worst. (But some of their “best” films would make my “worst” list.)
I’ve seen 15 of the best, and 4 of the worst. Yikes. I don’t like that ratio.
Indiana Jones should be on the worst list. And iron man was great, but number 1? Bit suspect.
Um, I’ve seen 8 of the Best and 3 of the Worst, and what’s more is I LIKED all 3 that are supposedly some of the worst of the year.
11 of the best, 2 of the worst
I’ve seen 8 of the best and 3 of the worst
Don’t feel bad Brad, I am 2 and 2
I thought the Bank Job should be higher on the good list.
I’ve seen 18 of the best and 4 of the worst
that’s sarcasm, right? please tell me you’re being sarcastic
oopps sorry, should be Jay
I’ve seen 6 of the best and 2 of the worst but I was trapped on a 9 hour flight to Japan for one of them.
I’d tack put another 10 on the worst list and pull from the best list b/c some of those “best” movies wouldn’t make my best list. but i’ve seen only 8 of the best and zero of the worst, although there are about 11 movies on the best list that are waiting/saved in my netflix queue!
