2004 was an AWFUL year for movies with a few really good exceptions. Maybe everyone else can come up with some better choices.

[Boondock Saint]

I agree, this was a pisspoor year for movies. Also, how the hell did Big Fish win last year?

A lot of those from last year seem like ones that were actually nominated for Academy Awards. Is that what you went by or just coincidence?

[Funky Fly]

I nominate Kill Bill 2 for everything.

[SuperSlim]

I nominate Broken as best song. I don't really care for the rest of the stuff

[House of Pancakes]

i haven't seen any of the critically acclaimed films this year [kinsey, sideways, hotel rwanda, million dollar baby, finding neverland, the aviator], so i'm not going to make a list.

[DaveWadding]

I nominate Broken as best song. I don't really care for the rest of the stuff
I nominate Broken for shittiest song ever recorded.

[Jason Cage]

i nominate Sean Penn for his godlike peformace in the Assasination of Richard Nixon.
Also Jamie Foxx for supporting actor in Collateral
Actress Uma Thurman for Kill Bill 2

[DaveWadding]

Also, how the hell did Big Fish win last year?


It ruled and Tim Burton is God.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Motorcycle Diaries for bestest film.

[House of Pancakes]

what's motorcycle diaries?

[El Capitano Gatisto]

It's an adaption of a book written by Che Guevara about a journey he went on as a young fellow with a friend of his, while he was a medical student and his friend was a biochemist. It's basically a road movie, but also it was the journey on which Guevara began to seed his revolutionary ideas.

It's not filled with politics, not remotely. You see the change in Guevara, of course, but his politics come later in his life and in the film he's just a man disillusioned by the injustice he encounters.

Go and look it up on imdb, you piece of shit.

It was a coincidence. I did it last year the same way I'm doing it this year. With everyone voting for the nominees.
