Who knew than this forgotten Bruce Willis flop still had a place in someone's heart. I'm sure even the weakest of the original 3 SW films has enough to beat it.

I like Surrogates but it is pretty forgettable. I've never had that overwhelming itch to rewatch it. I just watched it on a whim one night and enjoyed i for what it was.

Star Wars definitely wins here for me.
