Feh. Willie Nelson and Burt Reynolds will prove you wrong this August! Yeah! Just you wait!

*shakes fist*

But really, my list would be:

Batman Begins

March of the Penguins

Howl's Moving Castle

Mmmm. I haven't seen very many, but I'd put Batman up in a tie with War of the Worlds.

Depends on what you're voting on. If you're voting on script/acting/directing it's Batman. If you're voting on visuals/effects/sound it's WotW. IMOSHO

1. Star Wars III
2. Batman Begins

haven't seen the others. Not sure I want to see War of the Worlds. The previews don't seem to have an emotion but fear and awe. Is there anything else in this movie?

I view Star Wars the same way I view Final Fantasy VII. It was ok, I guess, but I don't understand why everyone loves it so much.

No others that I have seen were good enough to qualify for a list.

Howl's Moving Castle
Crash

I hated Star Wars 3. Never been so bored in my life. But then again, I do prefer good characters and story over mindless fights and excessive CGI.

I loved it in the Life Aquatic when the mentor was getting eaten by the Tiger Shark, pool of blood and guts staining the surface of the chop, and one of the deck hands throws an aqualung into the general area with the hope that it might provide some assistance to the devoured diver.


War of the Worlds:

Has someone written an essay showing that Spielberg's only subject, his paint-by-numbers canvas, is death. Ghoulish.

1. Howl's Moving Castle
2. Batman Begins
3. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy*

*May or may not have been a summer movie. But I saw it after all the slush had melted, which around here is how we define "summer".

How is "Life Aquatic?" I've seen the trailer but since it is rated R I chose not to see it. But it seems to have the silliness that I love...
Why is it rated R?

1. Star Wars
2. Crash
3. Howl's Moving Castle

Honorable Mentions: War of the Worlds, Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

However I expect that to change by the end of the year. Serenity, Fan 4, Harry Potter, LWW, and The Producers I think will all be great movies.

Whoops, just reread the thread title, best movies of the SUMMER.

So nix most of what I just mentioned, but Fantastic Four will still be a summer movie. Along with The Island.

Neither of which I plan to see.

Life Aquatic is rated R for language.

Guess we'll have to settle this in the box office.

Star Wars is more then twice as good as #2.

The box office doesn't always reflect how good a movie is, just how many people thought it was gonna be that good.
