So I'm the only person that movie bored rigid and annoyed then?

You and the Oscar voters, dear.

I wouldn't say that; it won for Best Screenplay, after all. Had they released ETERNAL SUNSHINE during the winter holidays it would have had a greater presence at the Oscars.

They nominated the deathly boring Ray, didn't they? From that, I can't help but posit that they didn't particularly care for Eternal Sunshine but decided to give Charlie Kaufman a Lifetime Weirdness Award.

RAY had the Jamie Foxx Celebrity Cheerleading Squad behind it.

Mulholland Drive struck me as a masterpiece. Nothing else in the last six years has come even close. Admittedly, though, I don't see many films anymore. I used to see a lot and now I don't.

[touchmeinthemorning]

Posted: 3/4/07 at 3:08am

Can someone explain to me what it was about Vera Drake that was so great? I think the performance was great -- but, I didn't feel much with her -- it was crying for half a film. I just stopped feeling for her.

Did I miss something?

[Cages or Wings]

Posted: 3/4/07 at 3:28am

Okay I figured I'd make my list, but in no particular order:

1. Pan's Labyrinth
2. Eternal Sunshine
3. Almost Famous (Only Film of the last twenty years to crack my all time top 5 too)
4. Children of Men
5. Capote
6. The Departed
7. Mystic River
8. Mulholland Drive
9. The Pianist
10. Talk to Her

I realize that 3 are from this year, but I feel like the Departed will go down as one of the all time great crime classics. Pan's Labyrinth is a genius work of magic realism, and Children of Men was my single favorite film of the year. The fact that it was not nominated for best picture, nor was Cuarón nominated for best direction is absurd, in my opinion.

Also, I don't feel like Chicago is quite as good as everyone says it is. I love it and all, but to say that it is one of the ten best of the last 6 years is crazy to me. Yes it won the oscar, but I think we all know that that is not the best barometer of something's merit. I just feel like everyone was so surprised that a good Musical movie had been made that it has become vastly overrated. Again, Just my opinion.

10 Best of the last 7 years, no particular order:

1. BEFORE SUNSET

2. THE LORD OF THE RINGS (I'm counting all three as one, sue me)

3. AMERICAN SPLENDOR

4. CHILDREN OF MEN

5. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

6. ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND

7. BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN

8. SIDEWAYS

9. TITUS

10. TOPSY TURVY

The last two were released in 1999, but they're so much more interesting than anything else that has come out since that I bent the rules to my own purposes. Sue me again.

10 Worst:

1. CHICAGO (simply the worst film ever released by a major studio)

2. LOST IN TRANSLATION

3. MULHOLLAND DRIVE

4 and on. Insert any Oscar winner except for LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING.

I don't know if I could rank them yet, but here are ten that stand out to me, and that I can watch repeatedly:

Gosford Park
Moulin Rouge
Chicago
Dreamgirls
Lord of the Rings Trilogy (I'm cheating and listing it as one big fat trilogy)
Far From Heaven
Peter Pan
The Incredibles
A.I.
The Triplets of Belleville

Labeling CHICAGO "simply the worst film ever released by a major studio" is a bit astonishing to me. That encompasses a LOT of movies, including things like Adam Sandler films (among MANY others.)

What intrigues me the most, I think, is the overt love being shown to BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.

[Roscoe]

Posted: 3/4/07 at 10:06am

I stand by referring to CHICAGO as the worst film ever released by a major studio. Even Adam Sandler comedies, as lame as they are, are made with a degree of sheer minimal competence and edited with something approaching professionalism. CHICAGO looks as if it was made by blindfolded Chimpanzees and edited with a weed whacker.

There is room for some re-shuffling on my list of ten best, in a different mood I might include THE INCREDIBLES or Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN. If I was feeling really generous, I might include WAR OF THE WORLDS, if it didn't mean including that idiotic tacked on happy ending.

"CHICAGO looks as if it was made by Down Syndrome Chimpanzees and edited with a weed whacker."

That seems a bit harsh, but it is your opinion.

However, your use of 'Down Syndrome' as a qualifier is pretty unacceptable, at least to me.

Me, too... Only a 'tard would think Chicago sucked.

Fair enough, a poor choice of words that turns out to be offensive. I edited the posting. Thanks for calling me on it.

Why Mr. Marshall, what a flattering picture. Why did your movie suck so bad?

ROSCOE-

And it's DOWN'S SYNDROME not DOWN SYNDROME.

get your stuff right before you attack those less fortunate and a fantastic film.

oh yes.

And I add to my list- UNITED 93.

Wow! What a MARVELOUS film. It completely deserved a BEST PICTURE nomination.
