A few times a year, movies are able to transcend their basic purpose as escapist entertainment by making their mark on pop culture, from fashion and hairstyle statements to quotable dialogue, controversial themes and memorable performances, capturing the zeitgeist, or spirit of the times.
Here's alook back at 2010 and the movies that got people talking:
'Valentine's Day' (February 12) – Director Garry Marshall's ensemble romantic comedy may have fizzled at the box office like a bad date, but all eyes -- and tabloids -- were on cute couple Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner, who dated briefly as a result of working together.
'Alice in Wonderland' (March 5) – Director Tim Burton and Johnny Depp scored another big hit with their sixth collaboration, prompting a deluge of 'Alice in Wonderland'-themed tie-ins, another set of surefire Halloween costumes (the most popular being Alice and the Mad Hatter), and an excuse for Hollywood to justify the box-office up-charge for their 3D craze.
'Remember Me' (March 12) – Coming off the strength of his first two 'Twilight' hits, Robert Pattinson's serious turn in this romantic drama got more press than box office for the film's somewhat controversial 9/11 twist ending and the fact that most Twi-hards kept their distance.
'The Runaways' (March 19) - Coming off the strength off her first two 'Twilight' hits, expectations were high for Kristen Stewart's turn as Joan Jett in this rock 'n' roll biopic of the all-girl '70s band. Again, most Twi-hards kept their distance. On the plus side, former child star Dakota Fanning finally came into her own with her adult role as rocker Cherie Currie.
'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' (June 30) – Twi-hards continued to line up in droves, beginning with midnight screenings, to drink in the third chapter of the Stephenie Meyervamps vs. werewolves saga this summer. The world got plenty of shirtless shots of Taylor Lautner, not to mention the big-screen 'Twilight' parody 'Vampires Suck.'
ET for the rest

Wow what an awesome idea! I love the way of the party in the movie Alice in Wonderland that you favours for them that they could take home and use. It is such a special memory as your nieces friends will remember everything again when they use the bookmark and read the book. for them that they could take home and use.
