Best film this year?

[Indiana_Jones]

Well the year is comming to an end as you may have noticed. Just wondering on what you feel is the best film that you have seen this year?

For me it would have to be "Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World". Love the setting, characters and soundtrack :D
Decieded to read after seeing as I'm doing now so, very good indeed :niceone:

[SuperDave]

Blade Runner: The Director's Cut ;)

[Velox]

Saw "The Corporation" a couple of nights ago. Really, really good I thought. Really, really long too though. I don't usually bother with movies partly because I'm too stingey, but this one was really worthwhile. :niceone:

[StoneChucker]

partly because I'm too stingey
That would explain why at each servo we stop at, you go round to each pump, lift it off the cradle and tip the drops into your tank... :lol:

[SPman]

The Barbarian Invasions !

[Sniper]

Definetaly I Robot

[manuboy]

Indiana, it isn't that current, but i thought 21 Grams was right up there.... very good acting and a nice premise... :spudwave:

[bear]

21 Grams is worth a look.
Saw Zelary (Czech Republic, sub-titled) at the Welington Film Festival, bit of a softy, but if you're in that frame of mind worth a nose.

[Blakamin]

I've seen tooo many movies this year.... Troy was good... The Bourne Supremacy.... collateral.... the terminal..... walking tall.... I, robot... last samurai......I could go on for ages

[Riff Raff]

Shrek 2. Bloody awesome

[bear]

Yes, Shrek 2 - loved the part where it was like Cops, and the pepper spray.

[James Deuce]

Shrek 2 for me.

But then I've only seen Harry Potter, Shrek, and The Polar Express this year anyway.

[Indiana_Jones]

Yes, Shrek 2 - loved the part where it was like Cops, and the pepper spray.

I loved that part too, best bit of the film :D
"Police Brutailty!!!!!"

-Indy

[Omega1]

Yep -Shrek2 "Pray for mercy from Puss n Boots"

[F5 Dave]

I Robot was good. But Kill Bill 2 was it for me.

[Blakamin]

But Kill Bill 2 was it for me.
forgot about that one. was brilliant!!! :eek5: (<--- twitchy eye)
and shrek 2... :2thumbsup

[Jamezo]

oh man, no contest, it has to be Anal Lesbian Midget Bondage Suprise Volume 372. Best thing to come out of Hollywood this year.






WFT!?!?!? :crazy:

[Riff Raff]

oh man, no contest, it has to be Anal Lesbian Midget Bondage Suprise Volume 372. Best thing to come out of Hollywood this year.

I preferred volume 371. They had run out of surprises in vol 372. :blink:

[MrMelon]

Farenheit 911 was good. I enjoyed Kill Bill 2, it didn't involve too much thinking really, but it was still quite a cool movie. And I robot was kinda cool too.

Anchorman or Dodgeball would have to be the funniest movies I've seen tihs year.

[bear]

Somehow Farenheit 9/11 would have been all the more sweeter if Kerry had won though.

I thought it looked like a paid political ad.... dont get me started on Michael "The facts only count when I want" Moore

I agree that it did need a counter argument to balance the views expressed by Mr Moore, however, it did add display some evidence of how corrupt American democracy is (or possibly could be).

[Jamezo]

yep, Moore is an enormous asshole/douchebag. but his message is very important. VERY important.

[manuboy]

But who are you more afraid of? Osama and his band of merry beards, or George Dubbya? Any movie that can even partially highlight some of Bush's maniacal motivations is fine by me.

I'm lookin forward to the Incredibles... looks like it might have a few laughs :doobey:

[Blakamin]

Dunno.... might just have to stick my head in the sand and live my own life (not meant to sound like it looks, just too much on my plate at the moment without worrying about those clowns)

just watched a trailer.... looks quite cool :2thumbsup

[Teflon]

Have to say movie 'Gigli',starring Jennifer Lopez, she looks quite tidy in this movie.

Cabin Fever. Rocks for a budget film.

[duckman]

Anyone seen "HERO" , apart from having to read bloody fast to keep up with the sub-titties, I thought it was pretty good. ;)

[crazylittleshit]

the new resident evil dame good movie :rockon:

[bear]

Gigli - I always like to watch a movie through to the end to see what happens, but Gigli was so bad I only watched the first 30 minutes before I nearly went mental and turned it off.

Granted that J Lo is bloody tidy, but just couldn't do it.

[Indiana_Jones]

I feel the same, it's funny how he says Bush bullshits, but that's all he does, half of those clips in the film have nothing to do with 2001 or Iraq :sly:

bwahahahaha suttle very suttle (luv it btw!) :yeah:

[badlieutenant]

the incredibles is excellent. just a simple fun movie :) whens it due to be released. ??

[Ms Piggy]

Shrek 2. Bloody awesome
Yeah loved that movie & loved Puss in Boots - I went home and my cat looked at me with those BIG eyes! It was halarious!

I also really loved Lost in Translation :love2:

[matthewt]

Shrek 2 for me.

But then I've only seen Harry Potter, Shrek, and The Polar Express this year anyway.

You haven't got young kids have you Jim ??

[James Deuce]

You haven't got young kids have you Jim ??

Freakin' busted. At least I got to see the end of Polar Express. The other two were muntered by toilet breaks.

"I gotta do a weeee", at the top of his lungs in a quiet poignant bit, followed by a dash to the loo, followed by a ooo look it's the credits moment.

At least I got popcorn.

Tell me about it. I went to Shrek2 when Mason's kindy booked out an entire session. What a mistake, far too many kids and babies. Then 5 minutes from the end (just before Shrek storms in to save Fiona) I have to take my daugther to the toilets. Made it back just in time to see who was the lead animator for donkey.

That's why I liked "The Corporation" because it was a similar type of documentary without the "guided thinking" that Moore seems to create. It more just laid out the facts plainly without all the highly emotive rubbish.

[Ghost Lemur]

Top 5 movies of the year :D

1. Hero
2. Jisatsu circle (Suicide Club)
3. Once Upon A Time In Mexico
4. Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
5. Diarios de motocicleta (Motorcycle Diaries)

Notable mentions go to...

Lost in translation, Gamle mænd i nye biler (Old men in new cars), Tian xia wu shuang (Chinese odessey 2002),...

I could go on for ages, but will stop now

Warning to pedants: Yes I know some of these movies are technically not from 2004, but this is the year in which I've seen them for the first time. :P

[hodgeman]

I'd have to say I ROBOT! :first:
It was great, had ties to Matrix and everything.
Shrek 2 is right Up there though.

The Invincibles should be awesome to, trailers look great!
Coming out Dec 26th, Made by Pixar (same company that made Toy Story I & II)

[F5 Dave]

Lost in Translation?!?? Can someone please tell me what was happening? Clearly there must have been more to it. To me it just looked like 2 bored losers in Japan & the old man (Bill Murray) kinda wanted to pork the young girl.

Oohh the subtle interosculate of the developing characters.


Shit I can wander around the local mall & see that.

We ended up leaving after what seemed like 4 hours.

It IS :yes: :cool: :bleh:

I'm with you F5 Dave, didn't quite butter my muffin - well if I had a muffin it wouldn't have been buttered :brick:

[MrMelon]

Ah yeah actually I think eternal sunshine of the spotless mind was the coolest movie I saw this year.

Lost in translation really didnt do it for me either :(

[F5 Dave]

I'm with you F5 Dave, didn't quite butter my muffin - well if I had a muffin it wouldn't have been buttered :brick:

Yeah I mean I wasn't expecting a car chase or Aliens (PS Forgotten has both & should be avoided as well) & expected an arty movie not ‘Stripes’ or ‘Ghost Busters’ but C’mon! :mad:

[edit] Yeah I wonder if the original screenplay was written in Japanese & the storyline was Lost in . . . :blank:

ok, lame but you tell me why they called it that.

[bear]

Interesting point (F5 Dave: why did they call it that), maybe the director and producer were natives to the filming location and didn't have a good grasp of english, and instructions to the actors were lost in translation - so the film didn't work out that well.

It was about two people whose chemistry 'clicked' and what might have been.

Good movie for the intelligentsia. But I suspect that you really have understood: using such words as 'interosculate.'
