The Matrix Revolutions

Something's Gotta Give
Good Bye Lenin!

Also, colons should be banned from movie titles.

I'm voting for City of God which I consider the best film of the decade. I highly encourage a rental if you haven't seen it yet.

In a year with a lot of comic book films, I consider American Splendor the best one. Both in terms of adaptation, they do capture Harvey Pekar's voice and p.o.v., and in movie terms.

Old Boy

Me too! High five.

Wow...the LOTR movies were good but they were not the best movies of that year Return of the King was the best but the first two, especially the second, was pretty damn boring.

 

[-Arya-]

City Of God.

 

[redhawk23]

as much as i absolutly love return of the king, i've gotta go with pirates of the carribean. Its the film that gave the world one of my favorite characters and the film that i identify 03 with the most.

big fish was also amazing, probably burtons best film. I belive its the only time he was able to balance his own quirkiness with a non gothic style, well this and mars attacks.

 

[darkseid26]

voted American Splendor, but LOTR is good too...

Nemo had more to teach an audience than did any of the Lord of the Rings movies.

 

[Nirvana]

I avoided LotR in the past two polls, but this year I just cannot pass up The Return of the King. Excellent movie for sure.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King of course.

Honestly how could you not feel the emotion of finishing the trilogy off? It packs a punch that gets me every time.

American Splendor, one of my favorite movies period.

 

[CBGB]

Return of the King
and
Finding Nemo

 

[chaseter]

The second movie was pretty damn boring and in no way are the first two films the best movies of those years. The third film was great but it still wasn't the best movie of that year.

The second film was full of Merry and Pippin and they were pretty lame. That film also just felt like it was dragging and dragging on while I felt the first and last films were paced good and of course the last film had the best character moments.
