Although the last few years have been an era of awful remakes, rip offs, and other substance-lacking piles of garbage, the movie industry seems to be slowly coming out of its slump. While there is still a nice crop of suckiness polluting theaters, there have been some great movies that have come out lately and some upcoming ones that look great as well. So, what are some of the best recent movies you have seen and which ones are you looking forward to?

The best I've seen recently are Silent Hill, Borat, and Clerks 2. For upcoming, Pan's Labrynith, hands down. That movie looks awesome and I'm all kinds of psyched for it. It's out in limited release now, but it should be out everywhere by the 19th. Can't wait.
