Does anyone have any sort of top # list yet? or a first draft?not a top-10, but my list from ILF which might be missing some that I saw
won't see because the trailers repulse me:
Napoleon Dynamite
Spanglish
disliked:
Saw (hated)
Intermission (hated)
Spider-Man 2
Coffee & Cigarettes
Garden State (kind of hated, but at least it wasn't the Rick Moody novel)(Ms. Portman please go back to doing 'chick flicks' like Where The Heart Is, I enjoyed that one)
Hero (bo-ring)
Team America: World Police (oh yeah, so [i]that's[/i] why I dislike libertarians)
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
The Girl Next Door
Troy
the Dreamers
meh:
Fahrenheit 9/11 (a few good sequences, mostly shrill and self-defeating)
the Incredibles
Kill Bill 2 (my God this seems never-ending on DVD)
Van Helsing (not as bad as some would lead you to believe, the first third is decent for a CGI blockbuster)
halfway between meh and liked:
I Heart Huckabee's (hated the Christian family scene and the crowd scenes)
Saddest Music In The World (could have been better)
Hellboy (loses a lot from big-screen to DVD)
Control Room
Dodgeball
Anchorman
Mean Girls
liked:
Sideways (overrated)
Harry Potter
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (don't understand all the love, it was good but not great)
Closer (which was shallow and pretentious, maybe, but fun to watch and good performances except for Portman)
the Bourne Supremacy
Undertow
Baaaddddaaaaassssssss or whatever
Liked a lot:
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle
Zatoichi
Collateral (even if the last 15-20mins were pretty bad)
Friday Night Lights
loved:
Twilight Samurai
Before Sunset

I dunno, I've seen 6 of Gavin Smith's choices and find Kill Bill the only indefensible pick.
>I Heart Huckabee's (hated the Christian family scene and the crowd scenes)
Since the dinner scene is probably the favorite of everyone I know who likes IHH, tell us why? It seemed to encapsulate Divided America better than anything I've seen lately (and Marky apparently improvised his "Jesus is most definitely mad at you" line).

Wahlberg was good in that scene, but the family was so horribly caricatured, a straw-man group of fundies, it didn't play as funny. The didacticism of that scene felt very out of place in a film that had sympathy for the rest of its characters.
Most of the scenes with more than a few people (the environmental group meetings, the Jesus people) were pretty bad. Russell seemed to be trying for madcap, screwball energy in them, but they were all just overly shrill and unfocused.
