Oh my...Superman Returns above Letters from Iwo Jima. Come on Joey, you should be ashamed!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm one of Superman Returns' few defenders, but I loved it...Iwo Jima was good, but it didn't affect me the same way as other war movies sometimes do...call it just a difference in preference...hey, it'd be boring if we all agreed all of the time!
ReplyDeleteVery true...sorry for the calling you down on that one, it's just that Iwo Jima was my favorite film of that year (it's one of the most emotional experiences I've ever had watching a film) and Superman Returns was my worst of the year...all because it was so disappointing. I found it very dull and banal, actually.
ReplyDeletefair point, and it's all good man...I just enjoyed that it didn't solely have action on its mind...it's far from a perfect film though, I'll grant you that
ReplyDeletegreat list Joey!
ReplyDeleteSo... don't know if my taste is way off, or if everyone else completely forgot about a few of these:
ReplyDelete1. Little Children
2. Little Miss Sunshine
3. United 93
4. Marie Antoinette
5. Apocalypto
6. Blood Diamond
7. Children of Men
8. Brick
9. Casino Royale
10. The Departed
and I guess I wasn't the only one who didn't think Babel was anything special?
