Gigli is like number 8 on IMDB's 100 worst movies of all time list.
I kinda like Gigli...
But I also like to hang from meat hooks.
But I also like to hang from meat hooks.
Here's my list- though I haven't seen many of other's top rated:
1) Lost in Translation: Bill Murray's great, but I just fell in love w/ Scarlett Johansson's character. One of the most real movies I've ever seen.
2) Return of the King- I liked the Fellowship of the Ring better, but it immerses you in a true cinematic experience nonetheless.
3) Kill Bill- Non-existent plot, but boy does the adrenaline get pumping. Best action of the year.
4) The Last Samurai - It would have been pretty good even w/o Tom Cruises character- very well made.
5) Terminator 3 - Liked it better than most people did, though it wasn't at the level or style of its predecessors. Beat my expectations.
6) Love Actually - about as subtle as a cruise ship, but still entertaining...
7) Pirates of the Caribbean- entertaining and well done, but I barely remember it anymore
8 ) Matrix Revolutions - disappointment, but some good scenes
9) Big Fish - Worth seeing if you don't mind a little suspension of belief...
Haven't seen Mystic River, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, 28 Grams, 28 days later, Cold Mountain...

When did you see Big Fish? It doesn't get released until the the 9th. I really want to go see it. Looks amazing.

Oh. Damn the Academy. They released it in LA county and surrounding areas probably just to get it in time for the Academy Awards. In order for a film to be eligible, it had to have been released by like dec. 31, 2003 in LA county. That's so gay. It should have to be released everywhere.

Ancient One
Pirates of the Carribean, Return of the King and Master and Commander were the only films I didn't regret shelling out $12 for.
I really recommend Master and Commaander: the far side of the world. It's gritty Hornblower style stuff starring Russel Crowe as Captain 'lucky' Jack

What, are you nuts? You actually liked Lost in Translation?welsh said:
I saw it with my family when they came to visit me a few days before my 18th birthday: none of us could stand it, so we ended up leaving with a third of the movie left. Our sole consolation was that since it was a few days before my 18th birthday, I got in with a student price.
I saw the first half of that movie during Frosh Week, and then watched the second half last week. I've never done that with a horror film before - it was odd. Quite liked it, though.welsh said:
True that. Except for about Pirates of the Carribean.flatlinedeath666 said:
So here's my list, of all the movies that I actually ended up seeing:
1) Return of the King
2) Pirates of the Carribean
3) 28 days later
4) Bad Santa
5) Bruce Almighty
6) Matrix Reloaded
7) Lost in Translation
I can't think of anything else I ended up seeing. I must have seen something else - I'll think about it.

So I saw Big Fish yesterday. Amazing movie. Although it wasn't really a favorite movie of 2003 cause it was released here in 2004. Whatever.

I didn't yet but will wait for the vid. Heard it was quite good but I am kind of loyal to the series. Since the author died and they seemed to have mucked up the books for the movie, I lost interest.
