Give me your ten best

[Ken McDaniel]

What is this year's ten best? Think hard and nominate anything. Cast Away and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon seem to have spots on this list reserved for them; but we'll have to wait and see. So what's on your list? Mine will follow as soon as I've had some time to think about it.

It's been a weak year for "Best" films.

Off the top of my head (of films I've seen):

Requiem For A Dream
Unbreakable
Billy Elliott
Almost Famous
Men Of Honor
Pay It Forward
Erin Brockovich
Remember The Titans
Gladiator

I will pencil in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and maybe "Traffic" until further notice after I see it for myself. I don't hold as much hope for "Castaway", or "The Gift".

I just can't come up with 10...or even 7, as Patrick said, it has been a weak year.

Chicken Run
Gladiator
the Patriot
Erin Brockovich
Almost Famous
...was "the End of the Affair" this year?

I hold hope for Castaway, Traffic and Proof of Life.

[Huskerduck]

I liked The Patriot and Gladiator
some I didnt hate were Mission to Mars and U571
otherwise It was a year full-o-crud for me

With a home theater I find going to movies is becoming a thing of the past especailly with crummy choices getting worse by the year

Forgot "the Cell", I completely enjoyed that one.
Can also add "Proof of Life", great adult adventure movie.
So that's 8 for me...Gotta see Castaway, Traffic, and Shadow of the Vampire, which isn't playing here yet.

This has been a very weak year for film, then suddenly this weekend there has been an explosion of great films. My favorites so far, with any of the first three worth seeing twice:
Traffic
Eirin Brokovich
O Brother, Where Art Thou
Before Night Falls
Nowhere To Hide
Gladiator
Wonder Boys
Chocolate
Chicken Run
Quills

[KennyG]

I wanted to see "Quills" very bad, but for some reason it has never shown here...just how good was this movie? Being as it was about the Marquis de Sade, it should have been twisted.

[Ken McDaniel]

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Cast Away have moved to the front of my list.
