Here they are…..now keep in mind that I haven’t seen everything so this is a partial list.
1. Minority Report- I loved this movie. It was slick, it was well paced, it was visually wonderful. I totally dug it.
2. One Hour Photo- Totally quiet little movie, but Robin Williams deserves to be up for an Oscar for this one. Creepy.
3. Signs- I think it’s M. Night’s best movie so far. Tight and beautiful.
4. Lord of the Rings Two Towers- A great action movie that made me say “wow” more times than any other this year, but not as strong as the first one.
5. Catch Me If You Can- Wow, this one was a lot of fun and really nicely done.
6. Road to Perdition- Forgotten in a lot of Oscar talk, but it was really good and one of the best scripts of the year.
7. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind- What a trip. Funny, crisp and just real enough to make you go…maybe, mabye…..
8 Gangs of New York- It’s slipping each day. When I first saw it, I had it at #2, but there is just something missing. I can’t put my finger on it.
9. 25th Hour- Spike Lee trying something a little different. Certainly one of his best in a long time.
10. The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys- Great little movie.
Honorable Mention: Insomnia, Chicago, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets, Spiderman, Star Wars Ept 2.
