The best movie for me was Return of the King - mainly because I had been anticipating it all year. In all honesty it was also somewhat of an anti-climax because I had over-anticipated it all year. I suspect I will enjoy it even more next year when the Extended version comes out.
 The worst movie I saw was Matrix: Revolutions - or should I say half-movie as I fell asleep half way through (seriously - God, it was boring). Only one other cinematic release ever had that effect on me - Star Trek: Nemesis.

I think I've only seen The 2 Towers and Maid In Manhattan last year... so if I have to choose between those two... Dunno, LotR is nice, but not spectaculair... MIM was nice, especially taking in account the person I was with...

I really liked Revolutions... and I thought even Reloaded had its moments (and quite a few actually)... it was just the start that was soooooo drawn out.
Frankly I think if they'd left out most of the Zion scenes and kept the cast down to pretty much what it was in the first film - and whatever happened to Tank anyway??? - it would have been a totally kickass trilogy. Now it's not quite what it could have been... although Revolutions did make up for a lot of that. Beyond that I'm not sure I can remember exactly what I've seen when, but some films I really liked: Return of the King Kill Bill The Ring hm... Donnie Darko must've been last year... |

I'm going to dig up this thread again just to say I finally saw Lost in Translation yesterday and it's by far the best movie I've seen for the past year or-so (though that's a highly personal opinion). Jesus. It's so good. After seeing it I just went online and ranted about its greatness to various random people. I really don't have the energy to write another ode to Lost in Translation, so I'll just say it was ... well, really good! Whoo!
Edit: wait, I have to mention the soundtrack! It's really awesome. Not just the songs but also the city soundscape stuff that's cleverly put into it. |

It's showing now in Finland for a week now, BUT it hasn't yet arrived to my town.
Damn those bigger cities, give my local movie theater a reel right now so that I can finally get to see Lost In translation!

I saw many 2003 US releases the past few weeks... (Cold Mountain, Lost in Translation, American Splendor, Les Invasions Barbares, Something's Gotta Give, The Last Samurai, etc.)
I was most impressed by THE FOG OF WAR, GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING and BIG FISH. It's unbelievable Tim Burton has NEVER received an Oscar or Golden Globe nomination for directing. *disbelieve* |

I saw Lost In Translation two weeks ago, good film. Bill Murray and Scarlet Johanssen were very good, and it had an enjoyable if somewhat unusual plot. It seems to be more about Japan than the characters.

Best movies I've seen in 2003 (probably not all of them, and with many mistakes, and movies I've forgotten):
Laputa, Hayao Miyazaki To live and die in LA, ?? Theorem, Pier Paolo Pasolini Drowning by numbers, Peter Greenaway Taxi Driver, Martin Scorcese A russian movie... the french title was "un nouveau russe" (a new russian) Some movie by Seijun Suzuki (something about a tatoo) Goodbye Lenin, ?? Kill Bill, Quentin Tarantino Masters and Commanders, ?? Pretty good year, all in all.

The best movie I saw in 2003 is Magnolia though it's a movie from 1998. Actually Magnolia is the best movie I ever saw!!!
It's from Paul Thomas Anderson. Check it out some day if you already haven't, or else I will be forced to cough up my killer rat again. And the day I do that all of you will regret it. And so will I: Have you ever tried to cough up a rat. It's not really convenient. Anyway, I'm going off topic here. Good movies I saw in 2003 that were actually released in 2003 are: Lord of the Rings Return of the King Kill Bill Volume 1 Master and Commander Far side of the World Lost in Translation (this would be the best one of 2003, maybe even the best in the new millenium) I greet you from far far away... I guess |
