One and done
These are a list of outstanding films which for one reason or another are one offers for me. Glad I saw them, but I wouldn't watch it again... At least not for a long time. All of these films are worth checking out. Many of them are critically acclaimed and will be carried by your local library.4meter4 (talk) 20:21, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Fun but forgetable
There are a lot of films out there that aren't bad, are a nice way to spend an evening, are worth renting, but they certainly aren't worth owning. Here are some of those.4meter4 (talk) 21:00, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Critically acclaimed crap
Sometimes lauded films are aweful. Here are some I hated.4meter4 (talk) 21:00, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
- The Departed (why this won Best Picture I don't know. It was predictable and boring.)
- Toy Story (film series) (These are the only Pixar films I don't like. To me they come off trite. I honestly don't get why this series is successful.)
