2003 is over
The year is over so I think it's safe to make the list.
Some preambling is required beforehand tho:
-I prefer the Matrix films over LOTR
-If I was to be incredibly personal with my picks I would say The Moab Story (which I have yet to see) and Dogville (which I also have yet to see but have the DVD) take spots one and two in the list. I worship these two art-house gods, and (if I may be so bold) THEY CAN DO NO WRONG.
-I don't know whether to include Russian Ark or The Pianist- which I saw for the first time in 2003- because Canada
has a very different release schedule from the US. Example:
Elephant . I have to wait two weeks.
So here's my "objective" list of the best films of 2003. I may like a movie better personally, but I gotta give credit where credit is due. (Finding Nemo & Triplettes of Belleville are special exceptions, and I won't include them).
1. LOTR: Return of the King
2. City of God
3. Kill Bill vol. 1
4. The Dancer Upstairs
5. 10
6. The Matrix Revolutions
7. Hulk
8. Master and Commander
9. Mystic River
10. Intolerable Cruelty
I still have yet to see The Last Samurai, Cold Mountain, Pieces of April and Lost in Translation, so this list could still change. The above 10 get a high approval rating from me.
