Amazing, check out the trailer.

[anonymous individual]

I have seen the trailer. That was why I asked the question. I just wanted the opinion of those who had seen it.

[ChuckThunder]

Master and Commander!!!. That is the best movie i have ever seen. How could you not mention Master and Commander!!

Beautiful movie.. really a return back to the Golden Age of film-making! And the soundtrack was very well chosen too!

Yeah, that was a great movie!

[Skaman]

[MVSpartan117]

Let's keep in mind not everyone likes the same types of movies

[USMarine3521]

[ArmedPacifist]

no order:

- last samurai

[Skaman]

- x-men 2

....cant think of anything else :(


bad boys 2, you have to be kidding me.

I'm going to have to agree.

I would not even bring myself to watch that horrendous excuse for a movie. It’s cash in to milk the North American population off of big explosions, coarse language and ***. What ever happened to a film with substance? Dear god....

[James]

Cold Mountain was pretty good.

I was disappointed with the last LOTR film.

[Salty Dog]

mystic river was a good time.

[Haiw]

I was disappointed with the last LOTR film.
Not completely, but on some parts I have to agree... they took out the entire ending where the Shire gets screwed up... also the last battle at Minas Tirith was way too short. Maybe they should have cut up the movie in 2 parts or something like that.

[ShotOver]

Dumbass19, not many people watch your artsy-fartsy movies, so lay off.

I do think Mystic River, has to be my favorite movie of 2003... was a very well done movie.

[Seiyuuki]

ducimus19...you title the thread "Top 10 films of 2003" without specifying "according to whom..."

So...


Let's keep in mind not everyone likes the same types of movies

I don't mind going for the Hollywood's hype up big car explosions and gun crazy maniacs once in a while...there is only so much drama and "artsy-fartsy" one can take before it become tedious.

My 2003 list:
1. Last Samurai
2. My Sassy Girl
3. Lover's Concerto
4. Lost in Translation
5. Hero
6. Secondhand Lions
7. Good Bye, Lenin!
8. Under the Tuscan Sun
9. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
10. The Human Stain

[MolliG]

Didn't really go to the cinema last year, just let the DVD collection grow and grow :D. Anyway...

Films from 2003 I particularly enjoyed...
Bad Boys II
S.W.A.T.
Tears Of The Sun
Belleville Rendez-Vous (aka Les Triplettes De Belleville)
Finding Nemo
The Matrix Reloaded & Revolutions
Pirates Of The Carribean

Films from 2003, that I didn't get around to seeing, but have the DVDs on pre-order/ordered (Etc)...
Goodbye, Lenin!
Master And Commander
Last Samurai
Kill Bill Vol. I
LOTR: Return Of The King

Films I watched for the first time ever in 2003 and have them as favorites now...
The Beast
Maléna
Le Pacte Des Loups

:lol:

That's all I can remember at the moment :).

[Roger Rabbit]

In no particular order these are the films i enjoyed

Kill Bill
Finding Nemo
Pirates of the Carribean
American Pie 3
Bad Boys 2
S.W.A.T(only gets in because it was so bad it was good)
Tears of the Sun

The Matrix films i would not even use to wipe my dirty a hole with.

Oh and a film is not about igniting intellectual discussion or any of that crap, a good film is one which a lot of people enjoy. Films are ENTERTAINMENT. Finding Nemo is hardly an example of a film designed to provoke intelligent discussion and what not. It is however very enjoyable for all ages which makes it a good film.

The Beast was a great movie.

[NcDeuce]

Dumbass19, not many people watch your artsy-fartsy movies, so lay off.

rofl

Your list did suck ducimus.


Pirates of the Caribbean

Finding Nemo

Lord Of The Rings: The Return of the King

The Last Samurai

Seabiscuit

Radio

Master & Commander

Kill Bill


Go watch those before your next anti-everything thread.

[HappyCat]

I have to say that finding nemo was one of the best films I have ever seen woot

[Skaman]

Dumbass19, not many people watch your artsy-fartsy movies, so lay off.

rofl

Your list did suck ducimus. I try and not limit my films to shotguns, explosions and silly action hero cliche crap. Not to mention childish humour and and poorly developed 'family dramas'


Pirates of the Caribbean

Finding Nemo. I dont care for disney and their social sterotypes. Not exactly a great choice for impresionable youth.

Lord Of The Rings: The Return of the King I have not seen it.
The Last Samurai

Seabiscuit -Great Film, yet not worthy of my top 10

Radio - Has the "forest gump, I am Sam" theme not been overplayed?

Master & Commander-Dry, bland, horribly unaccurate and a shame to the true novel. I enjoined the Galapagos Islands nontheless.

Kill Bill - I have not seen it, nor do I want to. As I have heard, its a violent blood fest from start to finish. Quentin Tarrentino is oddly held in such high regard when all of his "crime dramas" lack envolving scripting.


Go watch those before your next anti-everything thread.

Dont like it, dond read it. Im not your highschool teacher.

[ArmedPacifist]

I thought Finding Nemo was pretty well done personally.

Except that scene in the movie were the angry guy gets up and starts yelling at the mother of the screaming baby in the movie theatre.....oh wait....that was me.

[Sir Zach of R.]

I only like the movies the critics hate. LOTR: Return of the King gets my vote for numero uno. Master and Commander kicked ass, Dumb and Dumberer was freaking hilarious, and Pirates of the Carribean was cool too. But my all time favorite movies since the year 2000 have to be:
1. The Patriot (With Mel Gibson, not Steven Segal)
2. We were Soldiers (1,500 x more acurately portrayed than BHD.

[Roger Rabbit]

You know that the Patriot was a load of crap then?

[NcDeuce]

Oh nooooooooooo! They are not worthy of the great ducimus' top ten!


Eh, probably better off that way!

[Sir Zach of R.]

No, BHD was a load of crap. Most unrealistic movie ever (according to the book and history).

[ArmedPacifist]

No, BHD was a load of crap. Most unrealistic movie ever (according to the book and history).

No the Patriot is the most unrealistic movie ever.
Yes because the British are so evil and uncaring, yet it was the American the movie was based on that raped and killed indian women for fun and abused his family. Yeah, real family man.

And so was the Patriot 2: Vietnam was also full of ****.
AKA We Were Soldiers

[Seoulstriker]

just because mel gibson gets more ladies doesn't mean you have to put down his movies. :D

[Sir Zach of R.]

We were Soldiers follows the book with the same title alot more closely than BHD ever did. Practically the entire movie was warped and Matt Eversman was completely destroyed to fit the needs of Matt Damon (What's his name again?). I know, the Patriot wasn't entirely acurate according to history, but it was still a great American film that instills pride in all of us and proves that we can kick ass in any war. The main part I liked about it was because it's practically the only Revolutionary War movie out there. Also, it wasn't all sexed up like all the other movies. Saving Private Ryan was another movie I liked. But my favorite movie of ALL time, has to go the LOTR series. You will never find a more decent, good vs. bad movie out there; hands down.

By this logic Rambo must have been your all-time favorite...


Also, it wasn't all sexed up like all the other movies.
LOL? The only thing more sexed up than the Patriot is a ****ing **** movie...

Okay...can't argue with that... :)

War of 1812 hmmm, well it's 2004 and we're still here plus we got a great National Anthem out of the deal.
Vietnam hmmm, let's have a body count.
American Civil War-"south" hmmm, THEY LOST you crackhead.

Do us all a favor:
Put down your sister's panties and slowly back away from the keyboard. :fork:

[California Joe]

Jesus H. Christ he's ALWAYS innacurate. Granted he picked on the weak with the quote... but still.

1812, lost the WhiteHouse, shot hell out of the 42ndat New Orleans. Sorry my Highlander pals. They left, we lost nothing.

Civil War, we shot each other. Very well I might add. Hit what you aim at.

Vietnam, you claim to be a student of history. Keep claiming.

So...Americans didn't win its own Civil War. rofl

[ArmedPacifist]

Okay, Vietnam and 1812 the United States did lose. Just admit it.

You invaded both countries but were driven out.....so that means you lost.
The revolutionary war you won, okay can we all be friends now?

Lets get back to how the Patriot is the worst movie ever.

[Sir Zach of R.]

You f*** a$$hole! The British invaded the US in 1812! :cantbeli:

I also consider any civil war a 'lost war' when in fact, an entire nation’s populous resort to bloody conflict and arbitrary destruction, some of which is the worst the world has even seen. The confederate portion of the USA was in fact devastated by its industrialized northern component, effectively defeating and subduing a large portion of the United States of America.

[EvanL]

You f*** a$$hole! The British invaded the US in 1812! :cantbeli:
Ever opened up a history book? The states invaded british north america in 1812.
And even after 1812 you guys tried numerous times to invade us. This time resorting to a form of, well i guess now you could call it terrorism. The Fenian raids. Try researching that. Each time the Fenians were defeated.

The fennian raids were an attempt by the Irish to set an uprising in Canada which could in-turn be used within Canada as a means of holding ransom the nation against the British government as leverage for changes in Ireland. Other such American instigations that brought our nations close to war include the 'Trent affair' and the Canadian ‘harboring’ of 'southern' bank robbers and criminals.

Lets not forget the arrogant 'mannifest destiny' ****! :cantbeli:

What the ****, eh?!



American civil war-"south"

p.s. Americans DID kick ass in Vietnam. But we lost the war due to its unpopularity back in the home front. I recommend you to take a trip to Cu Chi and talk to the people there.

[AFG]

can we pls get back to movies? woot

[Jack Mehoff]

I like any movies with Jenna Jameson in it

[AFG]

thought u had a fetish for asians jack

[NcDeuce]

Lets not forget the arrogant 'mannifest destiny' ****! :cantbeli:

That's why we expanded our nation three-fold?

Damn man, take some Nyquil or even better, take an American History class. Not taught by Dr. Bobo preferably.

[Armour recon]

Seabiscuit was good and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen wasn't bad.
Bad Boys 2 was great! Tears of the Sun might have been better without Bellucci.

[Haiw]

Tears of the Sun might have been better without Bellucci.
Actually she was the only good thing in that movie :P

[Armour recon]

Tears of the Sun might have been better without Bellucci.
Actually she was the only good thing in that movie :P

C'mon! Her characters attitude was stupid. If Willis had done the same thing to Bellucci like the pimp did her in irreversible, it would've been Oscar material!

[Luxembourger]

Last Saummarai was my favorute.

Master and Commander was good too......again all the movies with historical backgrounds are good - I don t like to watch comedy moveis at the theatres..I can watch comdey movies at my tv at home .

Comedy movies aren t worth to look at the theatres, there are no special effects in them and it s the same to watch them on your TV at home when they come out .

War movies. action movies , historical movies are great to watch at the theatres ,,,,you see huge battlefields on that big screen gives you some feeling-

watching SAving private ryan in the theatres was more impressive to watch it on tv.

But a comedy in the theater or to watch on Tv ,,,,,,,,it s the same so I don t give money for it to watch at cinemas

[Luxembourger]

I hope they will soon make a movie about Little Big horn

I think they did one in the 60s little big man,.........but I never saw it

they should also think about to make more movies about historical events like Waterloo or VErdun 1916

[Haiw]

Tears of the Sun might have been better without Bellucci.
Actually she was the only good thing in that movie :P

C'mon! Her characters attitude was stupid. If Willis had done the same thing to Bellucci like the pimp did her in irreversible, it would've been Oscar material!
I'm not talking about her acting role, I'm just talking about eye candy... :P
