Each of these films is quite amazing, though it may not be the first viewing ("Casino Royale" for example took two) you recognize them for what they are.

Good list, and it gives me some more movies to check out.
What happened to Watchmen, Batman the Dark knight or Ironman?
Jozeph: I personally didn't think any of those movies merited beyond a certain point. "The Dark Knight" is poorly written, and despite Heath Ledger's performance and the admittedly good action scenes, I can't exactly pardon that.
I liked "Iron Man" better. But that film was more valuable on entertainment purposes than anything else. It was a good theater experience (and it hangs on well through a second viewing, as opposed to the "Dark Knight"), but not one of my decade favorites.
"Watchmen" I haven't seen due to baddish reviews from everyone except you, Roger Ebert, and Mick LaSalle. I probably will at some point, but I don't think it will end up here.

Also, how many of these movies have you even seen? You may be surprised at their quality.
