Never saw Return of the King so that's out.
I saw Million Dollar Baby after all of the hype so I was pretty disappointed. I didn't mind Crash when I saw it but I didn't get the hype at all. A Beautiful Mind was a TV movie.
The Departed
Chicago
Crash
Million Dollar Baby
A Beautiful Mind

259057, yeah, same here

>pretty disappointed.
i found it kind of corny and overdrawn at times, like a hallmark channel movie of the week. though the acting of course was top notch.

2. Million Dollar Baby
3. LOTR: Return of the King
didn't see the other three.

259045, Of what I've seen
Posted by 6FeetDeepInThought, Tue Feb-27-07 03:44 AM
A Beautiful Mind = straight garbage
Yeah, LOTR was Oscar bait, but dammit I loved it anyway
I wanted to kill myself 10 minutes after Chicago started, but I just hate musicals by default. I still bet it was better than A Beautiful Mind though
MDB was good outside of the agenda pushing
So...
LOTR
MDB
Chicago
A Beautiful Mind

259083, *?uestion* Why so much "Chicago" hate?
Posted by Nukkapedia, Tue Feb-27-07 09:08 AM
Renée Zellweger can't dance well, and Richard Gere can't sing, but the material is strong enough so that it works around them.
|
259199, I was wondering the same thing
Posted by Big Chief Rumbletummy, Tue Feb-27-07 03:05 PM
Is it just a distaste for musicals or was it the film itself? Because I thought the adaption of the stage show was done brilliantly and honestly can't find a weak point in the film, which I can easily do in all of the others mentioned.
I disagree with your assessment of Miss Zellweger though, I remember thinking that her perfromances were more enjoyable that Miss Zeta Jones, and I kept hearing how CZJ was the more experienced song-and-dancey of the two.
|
259272, Miss Zellweger does not know how to move all that well.
Posted by Nukkapedia, Tue Feb-27-07 05:44 PM
I mean, she's okay, and I guess - considering her character - that was enough.
Catherine was okay.
Richard Gere, singing or dancing? Eh.
|
259233, the material was NOT strong
Posted by mc_delta_t, Tue Feb-27-07 04:23 PM
|
259271, Why don't you think so? What was weak about the story & songs?
Posted by Nukkapedia, Tue Feb-27-07 05:42 PM
|
259084, 1) LOTR
Posted by McDeezNuts, Tue Feb-27-07 09:11 AM
2) Crash
3) A Beautiful Mind
It's a toss up between Crash and Beautiful Mind - I loved them both. I went with Crash, but mostly because I've seen it more recently.
Haven't seen Chicago (never wanted to), Million Dollar Baby (probably will eventually although I already know the ending), or The Departed (it's on my Netflix for this week).

The Departed

Million Dollar Baby
Chicago

Crash, which sucks in retrospect, but I liked when I watched it.
and A Beautiful Mind, which I found unbearably sucky from jump.

259088, Goddamn that's a horrible list
Posted by blue23, Tue Feb-27-07 09:16 AM
>The Departed = Only good movie on here
>A Beautiful Mind = Tolerable but still Ron Howard sap
Either didn't see or hated every single one of these. Especially Crash which may be the worst Best Picture ever.

Posted by Mynoriti, Tue Feb-27-07 09:30 AM
1. The Departed - great movie. though I still voted Casino in my poll.
2. LOTR: Return of the King - it's good. very good, but not for me. the battle scenes were amazing. the homoerotic hobbits were annoying. the 15 endings made me wanna rip my eyes out.
3. Million Dollar Baby - not a bad movie but nothing spectacular. her 'greedy white trash' family was notibly terrible.
4. A Beautiful Mind - i don't remember much about it, but it's one of those decent movies that gets pegged as garbage because of the award (and yeah I know you can say the same about most of 'em).
5. Chicago - I haven't seen it but I'm positive it's better than Crash.
6. Crash - Worst.Best.Picture.Winner.Ever. Jesus that movie sucks.

259335, I honestly would not have seen you picking Departed over Chicago
Posted by DubSpt, Tue Feb-27-07 09:04 PM
But hey, this is what happens during time away I suppose.
|
259409, I know you didn't like it. I, however, was wildly entertained.
Posted by Frank Longo, Wed Feb-28-07 12:08 AM
Chicago is really good. Really, really good. And being unfairly hated on right now. But I don't know, I just really dug The Departed.
|
259485, I had numbers 1 and 6 pegged
Posted by DubSpt, Wed Feb-28-07 10:08 AM
And I don't want it to seem like I hated The Departed or anything, it just bothered me how much love it got when I felt like it went wrong in a lot of ways.

259131, The Pick Six

The Departed (most likely because it's the freshest in my mind)

259196, This here is the order.
Posted by Big Chief Rumbletummy, Tue Feb-27-07 03:01 PM
And the film that ends up being "worst" I consider much better, and would watch before, several hundred other films.
I really REALLY liked:
>Chicago
>LOTR: Return of the King
Was a fine film but not my cup of the tea:
>Million Dollar Baby
Was hackneyed and jive in some ways, but had that technically perfect Ron Howard trademark visual presence with great performances all around:
>A Beautiful Mind
HAVE NOT SEEN:
>Crash
>The Departed

259333, Why do I feel like you are staring at me while writing that list?
Posted by DubSpt, Tue Feb-27-07 09:01 PM
I just had flashbacks to arguments of years past looking at this list.
That being said...
1. The Departed
2. Return of the King
3. Million Dollar Baby
4. Chicago
5. A Beautiful Mind
6. Crash
But I can honestly say I don't like any of those movies.
Also, randomly, did I tell you about the book I found in Chris' car?
