Duke6885 0 Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I thought that since so many people have older films, or at least from the 90's and older as most of their favorites, what are everyones favorite movies since the turn of the century. Mine,ChicagoMinority ReportPitch BlackCrouching Tiger, Hidden DragonGladiatorO'Brother Where Art Thou?Road to Perditionand to a lesser extent: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Red Dragon, Cast Away, X-Men, The Patriot, Snatch, Oceans Eleven, A Beutiful Mind, The Royal Tenenbaums, Spy Game, The Count of Monte Cristo, Catch Me if You Can, The Bourne Identity, Damn, I see too many movies, this is probably less than a fourth of what i've seen since Jan 1, 2000.

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I'd definitely put Moulin Rouge and A.I. on the list.I can only add Catch me if You Can. But I haven't been going to the cinema much these last years. In 1999, I used to go every week. Crouching Tiger was great, and Unbreakable deserves recognition too.

Justin I don't have time for PC games anymore, but BG 1 & 2 are my all time favorites. Biggest, most interesting, and funnest games I've ever played. They even have pretty good soundtracks! (If you can find it- 'The Pirate's Isle' from BG2 is a great track, one of my favorite pirate themed tracks ) BTW the portrait is that of Edwin Odessarian: "My name is Edwin Odessarian but you may refer to me merely as Sir" Edwin Odessarian "Elminster this, Elminster that.. Give ME two thousand years, a pipe and a pointy hat - I'll kick his ars!" Edwin Odessarian Edwin: *speaks with familiar* Familiar: *pokes tongue at Edwin and scurry back to Valyissiun* Edwin: One day..ONE day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many 0 Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 But I'm a Cheerleader LOL I love this movie. I saw it for the first time one night last December before going to work. The next night I watched Mommie Dearest; the following night was The World According to Garp. Three funny movies. If I could have continued the chain, the next two nights would have been To Wong Fu, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.Talk about guilty pleasures.
