You just never know these days whether that trailer your Sci-Fi geek cousin sent you is the real deal. It’s easy to be fooled by the fan-made trailers floating around the Internet because they seem like they could be legit! Some even go so far as to make it look like it was filmed in a theater, before a movie. Don’t worry, we’ve all been tricked by these fakie-trailer makers. And, now I’m giving them their props.

Here’s the Top Ten Ten Movie Trailers making the rounds right now, coming soon to an inbox near you.

2009 is going to be the year of the Badass. And what’s more badass than car chases? No, not like that scene in Grease. We’re talking real chases people. No racing, no traveling to random accidents… You know, good guys chasing bad guys. Bad guys chasing good guys. Bad guys chasing each other. On earth vehicles, not X-Wing Fighters or speed boats. Just classic scenes with fast freaking cars. Yeah!

Catch the top twelve best chase scenes after the jump.

For every A Christmas Story, there are twenty pathetic overwrought holiday movies pumped out by the studios just to suck away any holiday spirit you had left.  Think I’m being Scroogey?  Turn on Lifetime or the Hallmark Channel and bask in the holiday grossness.  Seriously, ask Melissa Joan Hart.  She feels me.

Here’s my top 10 suckiest Christmas movie list.  I left out the special made-for-TV gems because you have to sort through the bullshit somehow and I’m just trying to get through the holidays.

‘Tis the season, folks!  Not feeling it?  It can be hard when it’s seventy-five degrees outside and the country’s in a recession.  But, the holidays are here anyway, might as well get on board.  What better to get you in the mood than some good holiday movies?

I need to come clean right away and admit that I haven’t seen Fred Claus, nor do I intend to. But, since I think I’ve sat through every other holiday movie out there, I feel comfortable counting down the Top 10 Best Holiday Movies.  Gather round the television, pour some eggnog and watch one of these to jump start your holiday spirit.  If these films don’t work, I recommend dressing your husband up like an elf.  Cheers.

How old do you have to be to be too old for a High School movie?  Pretty freaking old is what I’m thinking.  Some of the best movies around can be stuck into this special little category.  This is a group that dominates both our hearts and the box office.  My original brainstorming list had 27 movies on it.  I had to be talked down to 10 my girl Rox (Thanks!) and a lot of research because I felt that I simply couldn’t cut any of the films from the gigantic list. It hurt my soul to whack some of them.  But, here’s what it boiled down to, the best of the best.  Is your favorite missing?  Then, stop muttering at your computer screen and leave a comment!  Represent!

People are going nuts over the trailer for the new Star Trek film by director J.J. Abrams.  (Set to release May 8, 2009.)  The inspired casting of Zachary Quinto (from Heroes) as Spock has been almost as buzzed about as the film itself.  Mr. Spock (originally played by Leonard Nimoy, who will reprise his role as the older Spock in the film) is one of the most beloved characters in Sci Fi and definitely the most beloved Vulcan.  One thing is for certain, we love our aliens.

In honor of Star Trek and Spock, I present to you the Top 10 Most Awesome Movie Aliens.  Because aliens are, like, cool and stuff.

I have a confession to make.  I was a theater major in college.  Yep, complete with a Les Miserables shirt and debates about the merits of Madonna as Eva Peron in the greenroom between classes.  Perhaps it was because my mom made me listen to too much Fiddler on the Roof and Jesus Christ Superstar when I was little?  (That’s it, blame the parents.) My passion for movie musicals is merely the culmination of my two loves:  film and non-plot advancing song and dance numbers! Like, OmG!

Here are the 10 Movie Musicals I think are the best of the best.  This is based on the oh-so-scientific criteria of how much I love the film so if your favorite is missing, by all means, leave a comment and let us what makes you want to spontaneously break into song. Come on, I showed you mine…

If you have children or know any children, you know that they are losing their brains over Madagascar:  Escape 2 Africa coming out over the weekend.  Hooray for good animated movies!  Over the years, I have been forced to sit through many horrible animated films by my dear sweet nephews.  My animation snob husband, on the other hand, has bombarded me with tons of good animated films I wouldn’t have known existed otherwise.  While the bad ones may be horrid (Polar Express anyone?), the good ones are really good and it was difficult to narrow them down to a list of 10 but I did my best.

Here are 10 animated films that grown ups will dig, even if most of them were intended for kiddos.  Sit back, relax and enjoy a DVD that doesn’t have a smiling tank engine in it for once.

‘Tis the sportiest of seasons. Yes, baseball is over, but the TV schedule is still jam-packed with football, basketball and hockey.  It’s enough to make sports fans salivate and their sports-challenged significant others cringe and hide the remote.  What’s a sports fan to do?  I say, do you really need to watch The Kings lose again when America’s Next Top Model is on?  (Did I type that out loud?)

Anyway, there is one sure fire way to get your honey to watch some form of sports with you.  Trick them by putting in a sports movie!  They’ll be so wrapped up in the plot they won’t even realize that someone on that screen is trying to put a ball/puck/fist in some sort of hole/net/face. Don’t worry, these have all been pre-approved by me.  I’ve sat through and enjoyed them all without even whining!
