Master and Commander: The Far Side of the WorldMaster and Commander is WAY under rated
Just watched Open Range again and its a close second. Tip to bad guys - don't shoot the good guy's dog. It won't end well for you
In a Valley of Violence same. Why is he trying to kill us? Uh, we shot his dog -
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the WorldShout out Bubba Hotep tho, I chortled.

Kill Bill Vol. IThis or Mystic River.
Kill Bill has a high entertainment per brain cell required quotient...not as high as ROTK but right in the comfort zone. I seem to watch at least parts of it a couple of times per year. -

Rolling Stone on the film...RaceBannon said:Master and Commander is WAY under rated

"4. Master and Commander: It takes a director as dogged and brilliant as Peter Weir to persuade a studio to spend $135 million on a sea adventure that doesn’t go in for Hollywood heroics or romantic mush. Russell Crowe as Capt. Jack Aubrey and Paul Bettany as ship surgeon Stephen Maturin power their roles with non-bogus gusto as the good ship Surprise takes to the high seas, circa 1807, to bring down the French and taste sweet victory."
Open Range was fantastic and Duvall is the finest western actor of all time not name Clint. It's not a perfect 10 though. They had to through in some bullshit Hollywood romantical crap with Costner and Diane.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the WorldMaster and Commander made you feel like you were on the ship. Imagining what that would have been like.

Lord of The Rings: The Return of the KingMaster and Commander fucking ruled, I'm glad to see it getting the love it deserves. Probably in my top 50 all time. KB V1 is Tarantino at his best. Pirates 1 is a classic. Mystic River got me into Clint in general both as a director and writer. I've seen Lost in Translation probably 10 times. What a year! I can't hereticize myself and go against ROTK of course but I forgot how many films released in '03 have stayed with me. Formative years, I suppose.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
@RaceBannon you may already be aware but for the price of admission to the Star of India, you can also venture on the Master and Commander ship used in the movie. I took the kids there back in 2019 to do what I did as a kid.RaceBannon said:Master and Commander made you feel like you were on the ship. Imagining what that would have been like.
Hold Fast is what @swaye used to tell all the young sea-mens.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the WorldROK in most years, but come on, M&C is just crazy good. When ships were wooden and the men were steel. Hardcore shit. A sea battle with cannons at 50 yards is about as intense as combat can be. I'd take a foxhole over a broadside any day.

We? are an independent country because French ships of the line actually won a YUGE battle against the Royal Navy.Swaye said:ROK in most years, but come on, M&C is just crazy good.

Changed my life more than any other movie. Helps that this is a pretty shit year for choices (with the caveat that I haven't seen the movie that's winning).
