|
| Great: |
 | |
Exiled - Hong Kong spaghetti-westernized gangster flick. |
| |
Kamikaze Girls |
| |
Porco Rosso - My favorite Miyazaki movie. |
| |
God of War - Maybe a little repetitive by the end, but spectacular production values. |
| | Lego Star Wars - More fun than watching the prequels. |
| |
Paranoia Agent |
| |
Jet Li's Fearless |
| |
Chrono Crusade - Not everything makes sense, but some solid characters help a lot. |
| |
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Awaiting the special edition DVDs with anticipation. |
|
| Good: |
| |
Ratatouille - Predictable entertainment. |
| |
King's Quest 1-3 - Working through the whole collection. |
| |
Paprika - Not as good as Satoshi Kon's Paranoia Agent, and much too similar. |
 | |
Small Gods - Discworld novel tackles belief and religion. |
| |
Eric - Retelling of Faust is more hit-or-miss than the usual Discworld novel. |
| |
Moving Pictures - Standard enjoyable Discworld tale. |
| |
Sam and Max Episodes 1-5 - Classic Sam and Max dialogue returns with its brand of biting humor. The puzzles are somewhat simplistic but enjoyable. |
| |
Ringworld Engineers - Followup answers a lot of questions but pales in comparison to its predecessor. |
|
| Just Plain Weird: |
|
| Texhnolyze - Chock full of weird. |
| |
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters - Like a good episode except longer. |
| |
Jungle wa Itsumo Hale nochi Guu FINAL
| | |
2x2 Shinobuden (Ninja Nonsense) - Irreverent, sophomoric, and often brilliantly funny

Vagrant Story (a classic, but sad to say that it got boring once I became way too good at timing my combos) |
|
| |
Sexy Commando Sugoi-yo Masaru-san [41] (after a while, its insanity actually starts to make sense) |
| |
Uninhabited Planet Survive [23] |
|
|
Condor Hero [51] (based on popular Chinese martial arts novel, excellent story and characters) |
|
