1. PDL (only came out in Aus this year so i'm counting it)
2. Kill Bill
3. Lost in Translation
(man, it was really close between these three^)
4. ROTK


that'll do for now. American Splendor, Mystic River, Finding Nemo, Bish Fish, 21 Grams, Dogville and Legally Blonde 2 are among those I have yet to see. Maybe if I hadn't waisted my time seeing KB and PDL as many times as i did. :?

Quote from: peteI think it had the same number of good movies as any other year, so far.  but what about 2001?  the royal tenenbaums came out that year.  so did battle royale, amelie, waking life, donnie darko, muholland drive, memento, ghost world, a beautiful mind, shaolin soccer, in the mood for love, apocalypse now redux, first lord of the rings, amores perros, man who wasn't there, and I dunno what foreign films I'm leaving out.

In Praise Of Love got it's French release, I think...
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

No, 2001 is wayyy better than 2003. Way. How can you compare Mulholland Drive, Amelie, Royal Tenenbaums, In the Mood for Love and Amores Perros with Whale Rider, Finding Nemo, Bad Santa, X2 and Pirates of the Carrabean. For god's sake.

These my favorite ten movies that came to my town and that I saw in 2003. They were not all released in 2003. Also, I didn't get a chance to see Triplets of Belleville yet, nor did I catch Thirteen or Dirty Pretty Things or The Good Thief. This is just my personal list:

1. 21 Grams

2. Morvern Callar

3. The Cremaster Cycle

4. Lost in Translation

5. Russian Ark

6. American Splendor

7. Elephant

8. The Barbarian Invasions

9. Swimming Pool

10. Bad Santa

Honorable mentions: Kill Bill, Vol. I and The Weather Underground.

Overrated: Mystic River

Pure hogwash: Party Monster, In the Cut
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

Quote from: aClockworkWalrusP, I completely missed where you ranked Kill Bill on your thing...oh, and if you're going to bash it, don't bother answer that last statement.
i didn't rank it. on the other thread called "So far this year.." i gave it an honorable mention, and it was below all the real girls. i'm convinced it's best to judge it with the second part.

For a second, I thought you didn't like Kill Bill.

That would've made me a saaaaad Panda.
