I enjoy talking about movies.

Best (in no order):

Pirates (an awesome soundtrack if I might add)
28 Days
Sea Biscuit
Matrix R.
X2
Finding Nemo
Identity
T3
Run Down

-Finding Nemo and Identity were my two favorites this year.


Worst:

Cabin Fever (it takes a lot for me not to like a movie, that's why this list is short)

Lost in Translation was probably my favorite of the year. The worst I saw had to be The Hulk.

Lost in Translation is disgustingly overrated. It was enjoyable, but I fail to see how it is significant in any way other than in the acting. The Hulk, however was a masterpeice.

I have only seen Bruce Almighty and Americna Wedding...both I'll classify as "eh".

Second hand lions was done by a fellow classmate of mine back in highschool. Ok, so he graduated about 12 years before me, but he was the Executive Producer.

In no particular order, here's mine
[B]The Best[/B] [list][*]Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl[*]Chicago[*]Finding Nemo[*]The Matrix Reloaded[*]Bruce Almighty[/list][B]The Iffy[/B][list][*]Seabiscuit[*]Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines[*]X Men 2[*]Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over[*]Tomb Raider III: The Cradle of Life[/list][B]The Horrible[/B][list][*]Dumb And Dumberer[*]Freddy vs. Jason[*]Hulk[*]2 Fast 2 Furious[/list]
Three upcoming movies I'm really looking forward to are The Haunted Mansion, The Matrix Revolutions, and...

[COLOR=sandybrown][SIZE=4]The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King[/SIZE][/COLOR]. Without a doubt destined to be the greatest movie of 2003, and quite possibly my favorite of all time, assuming Peter Jackson has enough sense not to mangle the ending.

I haven't seen a movie in 2003. Yet.

Scary Movie 3 is a possibility.

Before you guys go "oh my god, what is wrong with you?" I am very picky with movies. I hate movies like "SWAT" or "2 Fast 2 Furious" and I don't even DARE spending ten dollars on those films. (Ten dollars out here, thats right!). I know they may be "good". I only see movies I have had great experiences with, and I can trust are worth my enjoyment of being there, and paying. Example: Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. Guarenteed Quality.

See Kill Bill. If it's the only movie you see this year, just see it. Lord of the Rings, eh you know what's going to happen anyway.

We were just talking about that in my English class today, why do people go to see movies when they know what happens?

I like seeing the LOTR movies even though I know what happens, because I want to see the interpretation of the books. Predictable movies though, I aviod.
