I wish there could have been as much character development as there was in the novel but I guess that's impossible for a 2 hour movie. Noah's disappearance without any explanation would be confusing if you haven't read the book.
I feel like Jonze could have involved Chris Pratt's character a bit more and added more emphasis to the letter writing aspect of the film. A little bit too emotional for my tastes, but Joaquin Phoenix really set this film on fire with his performance which lived up to his name with a performance that went out with a blaze of glory in a final, very touching scene.
One of my favourite films of all time and despite it's age it still seems to work for a modern audience today. James Stewart has done so many great films but this just about beats the rest of them in my opinion.
So bad it's good. It made so little sense that pretty much every scene is laughable and I'm not surprised at it's ridiculously poor box office showing.

Not that entertaining and pretty easy to lose interest in it, Cagney is better in his gangster roles to come later on in his career.Movie comment on Her

The Thing (1982) should probably have been on this list since it is a lot more thrilling than some of the other movies on here.Movie comment on Shark Tale

One of my favourite movies ever! I loved it when they reenacted scenes from Troll 2 and they started singing row row row your boat. Absolutely golden.Movie comment on Futurama: Bender's Big Score

Was really scared of this movie when I was younger; Now I find it a pretty decent movie.
