Toy Story - Still a very fun, entertaining film, even if the animation which looked absolutely incredible 6 years ago can now easily be done by film school students.

Toy Story 2 - One of the few sequels that's just as good as the first film (with better animation); hopefully, if Pixar and Disney decide to do a Toy Story 3 they'll put in the time and money to do it right...

Scary Movie - Some of the stuff that seemed funny the first time around seemed stupid the second, but the really funny, messed up bits still worked. Hopefully Not Another Teen Movie will be successful in the same vein as this one...

The Crew - Really stupid farce about some retired gangsters (including Richard Dreyfuss and Burt Reynolds) who end up getting back into the business. Kind of like Clint Eastwood's Space Cowboys, but without whatever it was that made that film worthwhile.

Keeping the Faith - OK romantic comedy about a priest (Edward Norton, who also directed), a rabbi (Ben Stiller), and a workaholic blonde (Jenna Elfman) who were childhood friends, then get back together and form a love triangle. There's some good stuff here, but the film is a little overlong and drags in some spots.
