Vera Drake. Period.   The acting and the plot does not get better than that.
Shrek 2---truly clever and for all ages.
The Incredibles===Ditto

The critics rave but my choices for worst of all:
The Aviator
Sideways
I Heart (love) Huckabees---pure crap
And those I did not see because I figured they are bad news"

Alexander
Anything with 10,000 warriors and special effects.


So--don't go by critics.
