Quote from: Bill Maplewoodtechnically About Schmidt is a 2003 release, otherwise I too would list it.

It had a limited release December 13, which at least gives it Oscar eligibility. And I'm pretty sure Amelie was released November 2001.

I liked Frida and About Schmidt, but yeah, not too many other movies I really liked in 2002. Pretty weak year overall, although I should still probably see Chicago, The Pianist, The Hours, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, and The 25th Hour.

ksmc · January 09, 2003, 01:09:47 AM

So far, my list is...

1. About Schmidt
2. Lantana
3. Punch-Drunk Love
4. Far From Heaven
5. Thirteen Conversations About One Thing
6. Solaris
7. Adaptation
8. Chicago
9. Moonlight Mile
10. 24 Hour Party People

...but I have yet to see The 25th Hour, The Hours, or Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

1. Adaptation

I really won't be able to post an efficent top ten list til maybe august or july because so many of the films I am still really dying to see (Invincible, Talk to Her, City of God) won't be available for me to see til video. But of all the films I was lucky to see, I can put a good top 5 list up with their being the top three movies being the real great masterpieces I've seen this year and all really could be number one so consider them a tie.

1.) Minority Report
2.) Punch-Drunk Love
3.) Spirited Away
4.) Changing Lanes
5.) Y Tu Mama Tambien

Do top 10 lists mean anything to anyone? Aren't they just things lame critics do?

For me, top ten lists are a personal thing. I use them to gauge whether I've made the full effort to see enough great movies. If I can make a list of ten movies I really loved, I know I've done my best.

RegularKarate · January 09, 2003, 10:40:37 PM

1-PDL
2-Adaptation
3-Minority Report
4-Bowling for Columbine
5-Two Towers
6-Gangs of New York
7-Y Tu Mama Tambien

Not much thought into it yet... this is the temp list- haven't seen About Schmitt or Spirited Away yet.

I'm sure more will come to mind later...

2002 was a good year for film. Keep in mind, I still haven't seen Chicago, The Hours, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, World Traveler, The Pianist, Solaris or All or Nothing. But here's my top ten:

un - Punch-Drunk Love
deux - Rules of Attraction (finally, an honest look at college life)
trois - Adaptation
quatre - About Schmidt
cinq - Far From Heaven
six - Gangs of New York (somewhat of a disappointment)
sept - Igby Goes Down
huit - One Hour Photo
neuf - Good Girl (who knew Aniston was this good)
dix - Auto Focus (nice escapist fare from Paul Schrader)

just missed: Storytelling, Bourne Identity, Full Frontal, Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys.

Worst Film: Changing Lanes (ugh)

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD IGBY GOES DOWN AND TALK TO HER SOMEWHERE TO MY LIST.
