    The Royal Tenenbaums
    I'm getting to the point where I can correctly predict 81% of the Tim how many of our posters will vote- e.g., felt confident in @GrundleStiltzkin opting October and Black Hawk Down.

    Black Hawk Down is one of the greatest war/battle movies ever. Training Day is great, didn't see it until 10 years later. Mulholland Drive, don't remember a thing about it. Couldn't make it through Tenenbaums. Never seen the rest.

    My nerd bias makes it impossible not to pick LOTR. But Training Day and Black Hawk Down are top notch and can’t argue against anyone picking those.

    A Beautiful Mind
    Russell Crowe man crush strikes again.

    Came down to this or Training Day for me. I cant stand Ethan Hawke though, and even a relatively good performance in a great movie isn't enough to change my mind.

    OK. I didn't know @MikeDamone was censored here.

    Far and away my favorite movie of all time, so real shocker here. @Swaye I am lighting the beacons for reinforcement on this one.

    I also want to shoutout Spirited Away, which also came out this year. I'd probably vote it over 90% of the winners of the other years. Yes, I am a supreme dork obfuscated only by my decidedly aryan/jock exterior.

    Can confirm.

    I waited for LOTR since I was a kid, fully anticipating that I'd be disappointed in it. But I wasn't. It was great.

    Wow, and I thought I was sad for waiting for Red October and reading Alaska Bear Tales.

    Now, don’t go aggro on me.

    I thought Training Day was overrated. Good, I didn’t understand the hype though. Black Hawk Down was pretty much balls out the whole way

    I've always said Ian McKellen as Gandalf is the strongest argument for theism I've ever seen. Unimaginably perfect.

    Stronger than the existence of the banana!?

    Amelie was a great fucking movie



    I went to Paris shortly after that movie came out, and had a great time going to some of the shooting locations.

    Not everything has to actually be good to be good, if you know what I'm saying. I have thoroughly enjoyed the run that the Fast and Furious franchise has had.

    The first one actually was good though
