Neither of those have anything to do with 99 but. Dogma is one of the best films of the past 10 years. You just added that to my 99 list.

I cant get into subtitles and I always thought it was that but, Apocalypto was really good. Blew me away

Is there some alternate title for this or something? I can't find it on IMDB or Netflix and I wants it.

Best:

Kung-Fu Hustle
LotR Trilogy
Paprika
The Matrix Revolutions - Way better than people give it credit for.

Good:

V for Vendetta
Sin City
Brick
Batman Begins

Worst:

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Only mentioning this because someone liked this and I don't want anyone running out and seeing it because they think it is good. It is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen in theaters.

Team America: World Police

[Szlia]

EDIT: Answering Ripe

Oh! That's the "french" title I think. The american title is Kung-Fu Hustle, let me change that.

But now you are disappointed because you already saw it

So now everyone has to see it to make their own opinion /nod

I'm just really suprised that gladiater Made it on 80% or the lists... I had a hard time choosing, but do most people really think that this movie is that amazing??


Edit: Comming soon, put it on and it's a great movie..

[Ejukated]

On a level by themselves:
- Lord of the Rings (all of them)
- Gangs of New York - Holy fucking oscar snubs batman. I'm suprised no one else has listed this.

The rest were really hard to choose from so I ordered them by which I would want to watch most right now, not necessarily the best film.
1. The Departed
2. The Beach - This movie has everything: action, comedy, drama, drugs, gore, sex, tension, videogames... This made me a Leo fan.
3. Syriana
4. Gladiator
5. Black Hawk Down
6. Snatch
7. The Prestige
8. Pan's Labrynth
9. Shaun of the Dead - it just never gets old
10. V for Vendetta


Others too recent (I feel like I would unfairly rate them higher) / honorable mentions:
No Country for Old Men
Sweeney Todd
Sin City
Million Dollar Baby
Scary Movie
Blow
Finding Nemo
28 Days Later

fair enough. i just felt people needed to know that feelings were mixed.

i will give this movie a few nods, though. Casey Affleck was so rediculously good at his role in this movie (the coward, mentioned in the title) that I can't ever see him in another movie because i just picture this guy.

it is kinda like There Will be Blood except there are characters you can relate to, and they get owned. the main characters in both movies are so brutally difficult to watch and i guess that is the point. I think There Will be Blood did it a lot better, though, but if you don't like one you probably won't be able to get into the other. The pacing is what they have in common the most. Seemingly pointless scenes that drone on and on and on. Not really a movie about the story, more about the characters.

But really, it just could have been a lot shorter.

I'm just really curious to see Astro's selection................................

You are right, it should be stressed: the movie is pretty radical in its artistic choices (as are many others on my list), so some people will love it, some will hate it, but not many should remain indifferent.

This time I just happen to be amongst the lucky ones who fell on the pleasant side of the fence.

Feeling lucky?
