My favorites from 2003 (not in order, limited to 10):

1. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
2. X2
3. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The
4. School of Rock
5. Italian Job
6. Whale Ride
7. Seabiscuit
8. Finding Nemo
9. Old School
10. Rundown

Movies I wanted to see, but didn't get a chance to:

1. Kill Bill: Vol. 1
2. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
3. Lost in Translation
4. Matchstick Men
5. Elf
6. Open Range
7. Secondhand Lions
8. Last Samurai
9. Love Actually
10. Mystic River

Least Favorites (no order):

Matrix Revolutions
Matrix Reloaded

(I actually thought Reloaded was decent when I saw it, but Revolutions ruined Reloaded for me. )

My surpisingly short least favorites list is a mixture of three things: I enjoy most movies I see, I didn't see a lot this year, and I generally avoid movies that don't look interesting to me or that are heavily trashed by the critics.

Cardiac161

...since I have not seen Big Fish or Cold Mountain. So far, my favorites have been:

1) Lost in Translation
2) Last Samurai
3) LOTR: Return of the King
4) Kill Bill Vol.1
5) Whale Rider
6) Zatoichi (by Takeshi Kitano)
7) Ong Bak
8) Master & Commander

Still would love to catch...

21 Grams
American Splendor
Mystic River
Vibrator (Japan)
Gozu (Japan)
Twilight Samurai (Japan)

Least favorite:

1) Daredevil
2) Cradle 2 the Grave
3) Tomb Raider 2
4) Hollywood Homicide
5) Tears of the Sun

It's quite obvious the my least favorite ones are bad commercial films Hollywood spews out quite often. I usually can tolerate a lot but these really made me regret watching it.

DodgingCars

See.. I think this is why my least favorite list is so short. I haven't seen any of those films nor do I have any great desire to. I have a slight interest in seeing Daredevil and I almost rented Hollywood Homocide out of boredom.

It's been a decent year for movies. Here are some of my picks:

Favorites:
LOTR:ROTK
Finding Nemo
Pirates of the Caribbean

I have yet to see a lot of movies that are supposed to be great, like:
Kill Bill Vol. 1
Lost In Translation
American Splendor
The Fog of War
In America
Elf

DodgingCars

I forgot about In America. I want to see this as well.

I haven't seen anywhere near the amount I'd like to since I've been watching older films. Only saw 10 in theaters this year (down from 18 in 2002), so I'll just rank best to worst.


1. X2
2. Finding Nemo
3. Kill Bill Vol. 1
4. Pirates of the Caribbean
5. Identity
6. T3
7. Matrix Reloaded
8. Catch Me If You Can (2002)
9. Matrix Revolutions

Nothing I regret paying for. Scary Movie 3 was bad but had a couple scenes that had me laughing so hard.

There were many that I liked, but I wouldn't consider a favorite.

Corvin

I respect your right to absolutely hate the latter two Matrix films, but it's hard to take your opinion seriously after puns like this. They aren't funny or clever. We can all add the prefix "shit" to words. And we all know you hated "Shitloaded," why even bother with "Shitolutions"?

Anyway, I've found this to be a rather enjoyable year.

Mystic River
Kill Bill
LOTR: ROTK
Lost in Translation

OK: (no order)
-Once upon a time in Mexico
-T3

BAD:(no order):
-Last Samurai
-Revolutions
-Daredevil
-LXG
-Stuck on You

AWFUL:
-Reloaded

I try not to be so harsh on Revolutions because I had zero expectations of it being good after seeing Reloaded. I also don't have too many on my 'bad' lists because I try to be selective about what I see. I try to watch what I know I'll likely enjoy, which is why I don't go see movies like Hollywood Homicide, Legally Blonde, Haunted Mansion etc.
