1* Mamma Mia! – It was just an incredibly fun, no-brainer movie that was essentially about dancing on a Greek beach singing ABBA songs. The actors all have my respect for being able to let go of their prestige and have fun. And besides, where else do you get to see James Bond singing SOS? – Christie Franke

2* Wall-E – As big of a comic nerd as I am, and as much as I loved both “Iron Man” and “The Dark Knight,” I’ve gotta go with Wall-E. Pixar has never once disappointed me (that’s why I haven’t watched “Cars” yet) and this movie is just another example of pitch-perfect storytelling on its part. This is the one that keeps popping into my head first when this subject comes up, and that has to say something. – Trevor Hale

3* Vicki Christina Barcelona – I feel like I really didn’t see many great movies this year, but this is the one that stands out the most. Maybe it’s just because I got to see Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansen kiss. – Sarah Custen

4* WANTED – Loved it! It was jam-packed with action, guns, blood and dangerous stunts8212;the perfect combination. – Phi Tran

5* The Dark Knight – Because who doesn’t love Batman?! -David Buchi
