The Royal TenenbaumsNow we're getting into the real @Gladstone nerd shit.

The Royal TenenbaumsI'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
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.YellowSnow said: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.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the RingMy 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 MindRussell 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. -

AmelieI had to put down my dog in August. Her name was Amelie. Visually, the most beautiful movie ever made. That director is an artist. Great movie, too. It's like the French Wes Anderson. This would be my vote in this year. By a C-hair.
Close second for me is Vanilla Sky. IIRC, this movie didn't blow up many skirts, but I fucking loved it. Soundtrack is amazing. This movie alerted me to the existence of Sigur Ros.
Monsters Inc, IMO, is possibly the best Pixar movie. I'm not the kind of adult that loves Disney movies like some. I usually suffer through them. I have zero problems when my kids want to watch Monsters Inc.
I'm surprised Zoolander isn't in the pole. This is highest-level comedy movie execution. Who doesn't quote something from this movie at least once per week? I have a hard time choosing a comedy movie for "best picture" on just about any year, but this at least deserves best-of billing.
Black Hawk Down is incredible. One of the few war movies I've watched multiple times.
As cheesy and bad as it is, it's hard to argue that Fast and Furious wasn't a cultural phenomenon. Not a great movie (although fun to watch), but boy did it have an impact on popular culture.
What a strange year. Again, there's no Shawshank or Good Will Hunting or whatnot here that you have to vote for, just a bunch of really, really well executed movies spread across very different genres. It's hard to compare one movie to another, as they're all trying to do very different things.
