Favorite Movies in the Year 2001

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Vote for your favorite 2001 movie! Pick one. :ohno

[Dashiel Starborn]

Damn, this is a hard one.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I know! There's so many good (and its hard to believe that these movies came out 9 years ago >_<) but LotR was just the best ever. So.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Yup, LotR got my vote too.

I do have a lot of love for Spirited Away, Moulin Rouge and Amelie.. though almost every movie in this list tug on my heart strings in its own way. What an excellent year.

[Nathanial K'cansce]

I had to vote for Donnie Darko. It just.. tugged at me. LotR was an epic film, but I think I like Donnie Darko moreso.

[CMJ]

Most of my favorite movies from 2001 aren't even on this list(and my favorite of 2001, was included in the 2000 poll). A strong year, but not my favorite by any stretch.

[Droo]

Wow, this is so tough. I have to go with Fellowship since its my favourite of the series but I love Moulin Rouge, Donnie Darko, Spirited Away, Gosford Park, and Amélie. Why can't every year be like this one?

Oh and Mark, on the Moulin Rouge and Amélie issue, allow me to sneak in a pre-emptive "You're wrong". :)

[Peter McCoy]

I had to go for Spirited Away. I'll vote for LOTR in one of the others since I class them as a Trilogy anyways, otherwise I'd end up using three votes for the same trilogy.

[Darth Turbogeek]

Oh and Mark, on the Moulin Rouge and Amélie issue, allow me to sneak in a pre-emptive "You're wrong". :)


Oh, it is ON now! I'm right and you know it :D

Ameile is an utterly without worth piece of shit that is one of the most severly overrated films of the decade. It's a 2 hour waste of utter fucking time that should have every copy interred as landfill after repeated carptbombings. I mean just what the fuck? This is supposed ot be some sort of sweet and innocent movie? How the fuck is that supposed to be a redeeming feature with the utter lack of a coherent plot, awful camera work, acting that didnt exist and the mere fact every arty farty splooges over it because it was in French! Ameile frankly almost made me wish the flight I was on crashed to put us all out of our misery. Ameile is the exact reason why film critics are worthless, this dreck is unwatchable and without any excuse for existing. Fuck every stupid person involved with this vomit and frankly I have shit movies better than this.

Moulin Rouge has redeeming features BTW so okay, not realyl for me but it was funny to see some well known songs changed :) A Beautiful Mind is a beautiful terminal bore, suppose it does have some good acting and an interesting premise / plot, but it is for me Zzzzzzzzzzzzz, harmless otherwise. Gosford Park again, not interesting and a yawnfest. No idea and dont care WTF In the Bedroom is, which given it's obsurity shows how good it wasnt.

FOTR of course best of the year, tho Donie Darko, Spirited Away and Monsters all very good and I was tempted to vote Darko on it's most excellent screenplay and way it screwed with you. Mulholland Dr apparently is a mindfuck I've never gotten around to seeing,

[Nathanial K'cansce]

Mulholland Dr apparently is a mindfuck I've never gotten around to seeing,

It is, but not in the Donnie Darko mindfucking way. It's David Lynch, and is probably my third fav of '01. Go get around to seeing it.

[Sanis Prent]

No "The Mexican"?


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


(I picked LotR. Not even close. Inner nerd wanted A Beautiful Mind but it's not even really that great)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I liked Gosford Park, and I really like Amelie - its just too cute. Donnie Darko messed with my head and gave me bad dreams, lol.

Never saw A Beautiful Mind or In the Bedroom or Spirited Away.

[Sanis Prent]

Gosford Park is Clue. It's fucking CLUE. UUUUGH

[CMJ]

I'm not gonna go film by film that's included, or mention all the ones I would be tempted to vote for for #1.

However, I will say I felt Gosford Park was perhaps the worst BP nominee of the last decade and the worst winner of Best Original Screenplay in at least that long.

ESPECIALLY upsetting the genius writing that was Memento, as it did.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I enjoyed it but that doesn't mean I thought it was worthy of a BP nom, which it wasn't. :p

[Captain Untouchable]

After watching it with my ickle niece a couple of weeks ago, I can't not pick "Monsters, Inc". :love

[Charlotte Tur'enne]

I went for Monsters Inc as well... simply for the fact that I think out of all them when it comes to me, it has massive amounts of rewatchability. I think LOTR was a great, amazing piece of film... but Monsters Inc was just witty, original, and genuinely enjoyable on every level.

[Dasquian Belargic]

FotR wins for 2001! :eee
