2. Amazing Grace (2006)
3. Milk (2008)
4. Pineapple Express (2008)
5. The Reader (2008)

9. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
10. Bicentennial Man (1999)
11. Burn After Reading (2008)
12. Watchmen (2009)
13. The Matrix* (1999)
14. Equilibrium (2002) Love the idea, the execution not so much. Oh, Bale. ♥
15. Sunshine (2007)
16. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2008) I love musicals. I love Johnny Depp. I like Tim Burton. I love Burton and Depp for making Edward Scissorhands. But this is just no no no.
17. Léon* (1994)
18. American History X (1998) Was really disappointed, I thought the movie was totally unconvincing and badly written. Regardless, I've never been so attracted to Edward Norton as I was watching this.
19. Bring It On* (2000)
20. The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
21. Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
22. Gone Baby Gone (2007) Films like this make you question your moral stand, your perspective of the law, and the society we live in. This is the first movie I cried for after so long.
23. Bedazzled* (2000)
24. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) So, so good. Oh, and RDJ = ♥x1000.
25. The Virgin Suicides (1999)
26. The Air I Breathe (2007)
27. The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)
28. Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009)
29. He's Just Not That Into You (2009)
30. High Fidelity (2000) Read the book years ago and loved it; movie was good too. I'd totally recommend it to any somewhat intelligent male who's in or been in a serious relationship.
31. Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)
32. Dragonball Evolution (2009) I grew up with the Dragonball series and surprise surprise, I'm not pissing myself with rage and hatred after seeing this film. It was sooooooo cheesy, but like, cute, bearable cheesy...? Until the ending, that is. :x
33. P.S. I Love You (2007) The film's premise is interesting and I expected to be deeply moved and maybe shed a tear or two. It started out good, but sadly did not deliver - instead of crying and feeling warm inside I just got bored and very, very distracted, and a little confused by the choice of actors. I really like the plot, though, so maybe I should get the book.
34. Terminator Salvation (2009)
35. Unbreakable (2000) Had to see it because it was Shyamalan, but it put me to sleep one too many times. It was okay; I think I may have lost faith in Shyamalan after The Happening.
36. Rescue Dawn (2006) Best. Christian Bale performance. Ever. Oh, you sexy son of a bitch, you... Excellent film. (and I'm not being Bale-biased either!)
37. Monsters vs. Aliens 3D (2009)
38. Before Sunset (2004) It's not often you get a film where there are only two characters, and all they do is talk, and still be good. I'd probably enjoy it more if I saw Before Sunrise first.
39. Butterfly On A Wheel (2007)
40. Empire Of The Sun (1987) Baby Bale!!!! ♥♥♥
41. Drag Me To Hell (2009)
42. 3:10 To Yuma (2007)
43. All The Little Animals (1998) Christian Bale was the single most PRECIOUS thing in the world in this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good gosh, how I love this man. :')
44. Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen (2009)
45. Metroland (1997) New favourite CBale/Brit film, totally. ♥
46. Newsies (1992) CBale + at seventeen + Disney (pre-sucky era) + musical = wet dream.
47. Alive* (1993)
48. Angela's Ashes (1999) Finally got to see it, and it's lovely. :')
49. I Love You, Man (2009)
50. Up (2009)

52. Little Red Riding Hood (1997)
53. Chapter 27 (2007)
