| | Posted: | | | | Nice to see I'm not the only person who enjoyed Battleship.
Loved Rock of Ages and John Carter.
I recently got a letter published in a magazine for demonstrating how rubbish my taste in movies is because I enjoyed Battleship, but though Hunger Games was overrated. I won Prometheus on blu-ray!
I'd really like some more people to post their lists. It's fun to see what other people thought! (Geek!) |

| | Posted: | | | | Big Bang Theory!!! Of course! I was ill this year for a week and also caught a few episodes on TV and promptly ordered the blu-ray set of seasons 1-5 - which I watched in 10 days!
Better than NCIS, so should be in my list! |
