Best movies over the past couple years? - Page 3

Ohhhhh, I can't believe I forgot to put Narc down, that was probably one of the top 3 films of that year. The camera work in that film was fantastic.

And ditto to Donnie Darko, a brilliant film!

I also thought Vanilla sky was unfairly panned. Has anyone seen the original (Open Your Eyes)?

It's a low budget Training Day, with a more gritty and realisitc approach.

Plus, Ray Liotta is in it.

Oh, another film that deserved alot more credit was Gangs Of New York.

The Terminal and Pirates of the Caribbean are on my list as well as many of the other popular ones around here.

However, I also didn't really like Spiderman 2.

Terminal was ok, i enjoyed it because i enjoy tom hanks movies. but as far as 'good' movies go, it was a bit of a let down.

DimHalo · 01-24-2005, 11:31 AM

Yeah, add Pirates to my list... I can't believe I forgot that

Except that when i first posted, I thought it was just from this past year

I also thought the Terminal was good. Another on my list would have to be Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter

RagedHybrid · 01-24-2005, 08:58 PM

My top list is going to consist of:

Kill Bill vol. 1 & vol. 2

Hero

50 First Dates (i can be a sucker for a romantic comedy sometimes)

Seven (saw it for the first time on DVD. Must say is now one of my all time fav)

Jacobs Ladder (same thing as Seven)

and my runner up so far for the time being is:

The Manchurian Canadate

50 First Dates was actually quite good, I can back you on that. Most "romantic comedies" arent nearly as funny, and TERRIBLY corny. The ending in 50 was perfect.

Dodgeball.

Hilarious movie.

I loved it, and it ends on the best line any movie has ever ended on, ever.

"F***in' Chuck Norris."

BreakABone · 01-24-2005, 10:23 PM

Let's see off the top of my head...

Spiderman 2
X-men 2
Bruce Almighty
Anchorman
Dodgeball... nobody makes me bleed my own blood.. nobody
Bourne Series
Kill Bill V1 and 2
Donnie Darko
Boondock Saints
Equilibrium
Collateral

Perfect Stu · 01-25-2005, 01:41 AM

people are watering down their lists....I worked hard narrowing it down to 5

Pirates of the Carribbean, Kill Bill v1 and 2, Anchorman, and the other LOTR movies and probably 10 others over the past 2 years I would qualify as at least "very good" movies, but they didnt make the cut.

Speaking of movies, the Oscar nominees are out for this year and "The Aviator" leads the way with 11 nominations. I've only seen 1 out of 5 best picture nominees, and it was the only one (Sideways) that I really wanted to see.

Null · 01-26-2005, 09:53 AM

i've seen 3 out of the 5. Aviator, Million Dollar Baby, and Sideways. HOPFULLY, Million Dollar Baby wins it, and it should. IMO easily the best movie of the year, followed by Sidways.

Perfect Stu · 01-26-2005, 10:07 AM

With Eastwood, Swank AND Freeman all being nominated for their roles in the movie, I think it would be the early favourite to win best picture.

I would really like to see Jamie Foxx win both best leading actor and best supporting actor. He was fantastic in Collateral...one of the best supporting roles I've seen in a long time...and I hear he is just amazing in Ray.

I really need to see Hotel Rwanda, too.

Here's article outlining some nominations for the Razzies.

The Razzies is an official ceremony much like the Oscars except it awards the worst for all the same categories instead of the best.
