I remember watching all of those in the theater. (Except Jaws - too scary!) So, unfortunately, statements like that make me feel old.
I remember Top Gun most - I saw it with my uncle, an aeronautical engineer who, after the movie, talked at length to me and my brother about F-5s, fictitious MiG 28s, inverted dives and the like. That will always be one of my favorite movies. (
This is the script from one of my favorite scenes from any movie ever.)
I'm seeing Harry Potter tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it, but I never expect to like the movies nearly as much as the books. Since spoiler fonting isn't as practiced as it needs to be, I know more about this movie than I've ever known about the previous HP flicks (before watching it). So even though I'm looking forward to it, I know some of the things that will let me down. This might actually help me like the movie more. We'll see.
Angels and Demons was just ok for me. Again, the book was much better.
Transformers was a good 'escape' movie. It's nice to have something every now and then that doesn't require much work to enjoy.
Up was great. My kids loved it and so did hubby and I. Best movie this summer so far, IMO.
