10.  ERIC BROCKOVICH 
Well made, and great acting too. 

here's my 11-20 (IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER)

BEST IN SHOW – It's a great comedy, and FRED WILLARD stole the show.

BRING IT ON  – a Guilty pleasure for sure.

CHARLIE'S ANGELS – Another guilty pleasure. 

CHOCOLAT – See it.

THE FAMILY MAN – Funny and heart warming.

MEET THE PARENTS – Funny.  Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro are great.

QUILLS – Most creative use of excrement.

SNATCH – Great action

YOU CAN COUNT ON ME – Indie drama that really has something to say.

WHAT LIES BENEATH – A film hasn't scared me like this in a long time.

 And Finally...

WORST FILM OF THE YEAR

THE GRINCH WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS – They took the greatest Christmas cartoon of all time and turned it into the most unwatchable garbage ever created on film.   (And I used to like Ron Howard too!).
