Agree with Lost in Translation

I haven't seen many movie throughout last yea as I was bogged down by a student's budget...

I recently saw The Aviator though and I think it was great.

Haven't seen Collateral.

Thought Lost In Translation was bad, well, not bad but not worthy of an oscar nomination.

Agree on tTT, thought that was the best LotR movie, agree on Seabiscuit, thought that that should have won the oscar last year if not for...


Mystic River, which is one of the best movies I've ever seen.

On my own, I'll add Road to Perdition, which got screwed out of at least a nomination in 2002 (2001?) and A Beautiful Mind.

Stoney, you've got good taste

I'm surprised nobody else has said Mystic River or Seabiscuit

That was a really great movie. Whenever Tom Hanks is in the movie, and he has a part that he's never done before, he acts so well that you forget that it's Tom Hanks acting. You think it's someone with an entirely different personality.

Big Fish was good...but I found it a little over the top at times. Good, but not best of _____

I REALLY want to see Million Dollar Baby and Sideways.
