Avatar felt like a completely recycled script with fancy CGI, IMO.

I love watching movies. I watch them like crazy.
Yet not one movie sticks out in my mind.

I've already made this point, but the reason the movie did so well was because of an over-saturation of advertising; as I recall, the film was featured on online banner ads like a year before its release. The hype was artificially inflated to the point that it became the film everyone went to see, not because of the film's quality, but through brute force media exposure.

Also Dune lite and The Little Mermaid or something like that (haven't seen LM, going on hearsay).

Terminator is your favorite romance the same way Die Hard is my favorite Christmas movie.
