Of course Cloverfield comes right up the top there. That movie was just very atmospheric, and having half decent actors for the better part helped too.
I recall a fair chunk of "footage" mode as well...I don't know if this is what made the movie good...but yeah, great film right there.
Chronicle was the superpowers one right?
I liked that it actually changed as the guy got better control of the cameras, so we had a bit found footage, a bit "regular" movie.
I seem to like the ones better when it's just segments.
I find the whole found footage bit kind of played out at this point though.

Yes, Chronicle they gained the telekinesis. I thought it was thoughtful, realistic & fun.
I also agree - I think found footage works well with the vignette/segments, series of shorts.
Paranormal Activity worked well as a found footage too.

I think I might end up liking Quarantine better -- I only saw original Rec. It irked me a bit, but I liked the concept.
