ILX TOP 50 FILMS OF 2000-2004 NOMINATIONS THREAD

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001?)

it wouldn't place in the top ten for me, but i like it and of course no one else will nominate it!

I trust someone else will nominate Amélie and A Very Long Engagement, 'cause I couldn't make them fit on my list.

In that case:

Lost in Translation (Coppola, 2003)
Collateral (Mann, 2004)

*looks above* :I

The Sight & Sound website is pretty useful for a month-by-month list of the films they reviewed over the last few years - http://www.bfi.org.uk/sightandsound/

My next 5:
Amelie, or How I learned to stop worrying and love Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain
Bend it Like Beckham
Josie & The Pussycats
Whale Rider
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Before Sunrise (Linklater 2004)
I Heart Huckabees (Russell 2004)
King of the Corner (Riegert 2004)
Blue Crush (Stockwell 2002)

Twilight Samurai

Bring It On
Wisconsin Death Trip

Bus 174

Which means my four most obvious adds would be:

2046
Far from Heaven
Cowards Bend the Knee
The White Diamond

there were actually two different movies called "Together" nominated

What about Downfall is a 2005 release in most places bar Germany. (I'm sure there are others.)

What's the other "Together", then? Because I can't find any such film on IMDb.

My Nominations:

The Company (Altman, 2003)
Final Destination 2 (Ellis, 2003)
Gangs of New York (Scorsese, 2002)
The Ring (Verbinski, 2002)
Down With Love (Reed, 2003)
Spun (Akerland, 2002)
Bamboozled (Lee, 2000)
Spiderman (Raimi, 2002)
Capturing the Friedmans (Jarecki, 2003)
Lovely & Amazing (Holofcener, 2001)

crimson gold (2003, jafar panahi)
la cienaga (2001, lucrecia martel)
the ninth day (2004, volker schlondorff)
time of the wolf (2003, michael haneke)
the tracker (2002, rolf de heer)
kwik stop (2001, michael gilio)
the gleaners and i (2000, agnes varda)

Lord Of The Rings: Return of The King (Peter Jackson, 2003)

Decasia (Bill Morrison, 2002)
Les Destinees Sentinentales (Olivier Assayas, 2000)
Faithless (Liv Ullmann, 2000)
Hamlet (Michael Almereyda, 2000)
Moolaade (Ousmane Sembene, 2004)
Pulse (Kiyoshi Kurosawa, 2001)
Stevie (Steve James, 2002)

I won't nominate Eureka (Shinji Aoyama) as it's not on US DVD and 'nobody' saw it...

All that Hollywood dross and no Me, Myself & Irene??

It's listed by its Chinese title: "He ni zai yi qi" (Kaige Chen, 2002)

saved! (2003, brian dannelly)
star spangled to death (2004, ken jacobs)

No, please do! I saw it at a film festival and liked it a lot!

Also, surely I'm not the only one who loved A Very Long Engagement? Or maybe everyone was expecting Amelie 2 and was disappointed because of that?

Can I add:

The Others (Alejandro Amenábar, 2001)
The Good Girl (Miguel Arteta, 2002)

?

If nominations aren't closed, I'd like to add:

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring (Kim ki-Duk, 2003)

The '60s poll has finished sooner than possible, so nominations will close early (I think we're almost tapped out anyway). The ballot will be posted Friday afternoon-ish.
