4. Casino Royale

5. Borat - taking a lot of flack for this one

10.Little Miss Sunshine

Honourable Mention: Invincible, Cars, Wordplay, The Devil Wears Prada, An Inconvenient Truth, V for Vendetta, Flushed Away, Eight Below.

I'm embarrassed that I liked these: The Benchwarmers, Lucky Number Slevin, Silent Hill, Stick it, 16 Blocks, Slither, Running Scared.
