Fantasy

Wind In The Willows

The perfect comfort DVD. Some things have been left out from the novel but the stuff that makes it good is still there

League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Sean Connery, Shane West

I am not sure why everyone dislikes this one so much, its fun there is more than enough action to go around. I like this and never understood all the hate

Journey To The Center Of The Earth

James Mason, Pat Boone

I like this one but have not read the book yet. Once I read it, my thoughts might change

LOTR: Fellowship Of The Ring

Elijah Wood

Maybe a bit too much summary, but for those who had not read the book it was much needed backstory

LOTR: The Two Towers

Elijah Wood

Film vs book, film just left too many unanswered questions

LOTR: The Return Of The King

Elijah Wood

Overall they are good films, they just leave so many questions that the books do not answer because it was changed so much

Dinotopia

Wentworth Miller, Tyrone Leitso

If only real life could be this way until you stop and think about it, and it has too many continuity issues to taken really seriously.  Wonderful escape though for some hours of a bad day

Pirates Of The Caribbean:

Curse Of The Black Pearl

Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush

This was one of the very few things I have on both VHS and DVD, I like it that much.  Fun way to send out Summer

Pirates Of The Caribbean:

At World's End

Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush

It should have stopped here and it was still excellent

Pirates Of The Caribbean:

Dead Mans Chest

Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush

This still goes strong and fun

Pirates Of The Caribbean:

On Stranger Tides

Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Sam Claflin

This was still fun but had a darker undertone the first three didn't.  Even with all the inconsistencies , I still love them but won't be buying anymore

Legend Of Sleepy Hollow

Bing Crosby

I have ushered the Fall season in with this as long as I can remember

Harry Potter:

The Philosophers Stone

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson

Still have not read the books so lots of questions

Harry Potter:

Prisoner Of Azkaban

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson

Still I wonder how they got that movie from that book.  From here on out the same questions remains

Harry Potter:

Chamber Of Secrets

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson

Have not read this one either, still so many questions

Harry Potter:

Goblet Of Fire

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson

The CG is pretty good in this one, I have always liked Dragons

Harry Potter:

Order Of The Phoenix

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson

I think that most of the later ones should have all been made into more than one movie, there was so much story left out of the movies

Harry Potter:

The Half Blood Prince

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson

I have to give this one to the novel, it was so much better than the movie. 

Harry Potter:

The Deathly Hallow Pt 1

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson

These were always pretty dark stories, not outright but the undercurrent was always dark.  I can see why they wanted to break this one up but really in the end with all they left out, they could have just made a longer film all together 

Harry Potter:

The Deathly Hallow Pt 2

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson

See review for part 1
