I'm looking forward to what Zhang Yimou can do in his attempt to tackle the martial arts movie, but that's for another thread...

This is hard.
Unbreakable I guess... Requiem is close, but it's just too disturbing for me to enjoy. It's probably a better film, but it's not my favorite... so best goes to Unbreakable... because I liked it as much and I can rewatch it more... I also thought Gladiator was pretty good. American Psycho was very good (but also suffers a bit from the disturbing thing) and State and Main, Wonder Boys, and O Brother, Where Art Thou? are also enjoyable.
I saw pretty much every mainstream movie in 2000, god, I'm never going to do that again. I only saw about 4 in 2001 as a result!

I guess I'm the only person in the whole
world who liked Chocolat. Crouching Tiger would be my second. I have not yet seen Almost Famous. It's on my to do list.
Did everyone hate Chocolat?

But as far as films nominated for best picture, I've hardly ever read more negative things (with no really positive reviews (I use this disclaimer b/c some critics gave really high marks to Titanic and Gladiator even though many people have bashed them both)) than I have about Chocolat. I hope that makes since.

Don't agree it was a 2000 release?
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...373184-9381432
it was released overseas in 2000. 2001 in the US. I don't care what year any of you technically consider it to be released, I'm putting it down. It beats everything else hands down.
