#10. Beowulf

Robert Zemeckis' version of the old saga announces the instant maturity of motion-capture animation (where actors perform their scenes and computer whizzes basically paint over them). Writers Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman have given the story a weird twist about halfbreed offspring and the need to kill them, but the film is still zesty, sexy fun. P.S.: While Beowulf is still in theaters, see it in the IMAX format. It's 3-Delirious.
