List/Rank the 2003 Films You've Seen

[DoctorJones24]

Go here http://movies.yahoo.com/upcoming/bydate/2003_jan/
and scroll through the 2003 releases you've actually seen.

Rank em.

In doing this, I realized that I've only seen 19 "new" movies this year, and almost all of them are Hollywood big budget fluff. I guess that's because I'm so cheap that my wife and I usually go only to the $2.00 theater, which tends only to get big name flicks. Anyway, here goes:

1 Whale Rider
2 Finding Nemo
3 Bend it Like Beckham
4 Swimming Pool
5 Pirate of the Caribbean
6 School of Rock
7 Terminator 3
8 X-Men 2
9 Old School
10 Matrix Reloaded
11 Kill Bill: Vol 1
12 A Mighty Wind
13 Hulk
14 American Wedding
15 Holes
16 Shanghai Knights
17 Lara Croft: Cradle of Life
18 The Guru
19 Bruce Almighty

God, I've seen a lot of crappy movies this year. Embarrassing...

[sch2383]

Mystic River


Kill Bill
X-2
Once Upon a Time in Mexico

Matrix 2
Matrix 3

Mystic River was so much better than everything else and the Matrix movies were much worse than everything else.

[Ghost]

I love film but don't watch enough. I would say

1) Mystic River
2) Lost in Translation
3) All the Real Girls

would be the ones that stood out. I'm not sure I can order them.

[cosmosRIP]

Best Movies I saw this year (too hard to rank):
Lost in Translation
Thirteen
American Splendor
Finding Nemo

Others:
5. 28 Days Later
6. Matchstick Men
7. Whale Rider
8. Down with Love
9. A Mighty Wind

Not good:
Shanghai Knights
Old School (sucked)

[riverplate]

Only saw "28 Days Later" this year. I was talked into it. It wasn't such a big deal. I gave it a chance because I've always loved the horror genre and this seemed to be appealing to people that ordinarily wouldn't go to a horror picture. Certainly not an all-time great.

[nicodemus]

I saw 20 2003 movies, although two of them (Amandala! and The Backyard) I saw at film festivals in late 2002, but since their theatrical release dates were '03 I put them in anyway. There's quite a few that I missed this year that I was really ticked off about: Pretty Dirty Things, Whale Rider, Flight, etc., but that's just because of confused plans with my friends.

Here they are ranked:

01. Amandla! A Revolution in Four Part Harmony
02. All the Real Girls
03. City of God
04. Kill Bill Vol. 1
05. Bend It Like Beckham
06. A Mighty Wind
07. The Backyard
08. Old School
09. The Matrix: Reloaded
10. Phone Booth
11. The Recruit
12. Raising Victor Vargas
13. Bruce Almighty
14. The Guru
15. Man on the Train
16. Shanghai Knights
17. Bulletproof Monk
18. Dysfunktional Family
19. Irreversible
20. The Real Cancun

[obie]

I have not seen a lot yet this year.

1. Lost In Translation
2. Spellbound (actually 2002, but...)
3. American Splendor
4. Winged Migration
5. 8 Femmes
6. A Mighty Wind
7. Swimming Pool
8. L'Auberge Espagnol
9. Bend It Like Beckham
10. Dirty Pretty Things

... and the bottom two, The Matrix Reloaded and School of Rock, both of which were more just damn disappointing rather than bad.

Bonus points for honesty...

[Dolemite]

Lost in Translation is the best film i've seen this year.

[BadAzzSnowboarder]

1 Mystic River
2 Open Range
3 Intolerable Cruelty
4 Matchstick Men
5 Under the Tuscan Sun
6 Lost in Translation
7 Kill Bill
8 School of Rock
9 The Rundown
10 Out of Time
11 Pirates of the Carribean
12 Terminator 2
13 Xmen 2
14 Bruce Almighty
15 Anger Management


Also, isn't City of God a 2002 release? I saw that last year. What the heck who gives a shlt.

[Belgian guy]

I hardly remember half of the movies I've seen.

Here goes anyway:

1) Cidade De Deus
2) The man without a past
3) Punch Drunk Love
4) Kill Bill Vol. 1
5) Adaptation
6) Finding Nemo
7) The Recruit
8) Confessions of a dangerous mind
9) Swimming pool (not bad, but still overrated)
10) X-Men II

Crap-fest of the year: Matrix Reloaded. As great as the first installment was, this movie proved how bad of an idea sequels can be...

Older movies I only watched for the first time this year, to my own shame, in no perticular order, but all great:

- The 39 steps
- Shrek
- Casablanca (I know, very late with this one)
- The pianist
- Requiem for a dream
- On the waterfront
- The Searchers
- Hable Con Ella
- Mulholland Drive
- The sweet Hereafter

[GringoTex]

My top 10

1) Once Upon a Time in Mexico
2) Mystic River
3) Russian Ark
4) In Praise of Love
5) Kill Bill
6) Assasination Tango
7) Finding Nemo
8) City of God
9) Stone Reader
10) Lost in Translation

[bojendyk]

Mystic River (brilliant)
American Splendor
Dirty Pretty Things
Lost in Translation

[YanksFC]

1. Lost In Translation
2. L'Auberge Espagnol (hey obie - glad someone else besides me has seen and likes this movie)
3. Bend It Like Beckham
4. X2

Will likely make the list once I see them:

Kill Bill
The Station Agent
Dirty Pretty Things
Return of the King
Elf

It all goes downhill from there. 2003 was probably one of the worst years in movie history.

Not only are you & I likely the only people who enjoyed it, we are likely the only people who even saw it. It was lighthearted and fun, in an isn't-the-EU-wacky sort of way.

[skipshady]

Lost in Translation
Bend It Like Beckham
Spellbound

Seabiscuit
The Station Agent
Old School
The Matrix: Reloaded
