The American Film Institute has just released its list of the top ten films of this year.

They include:

Gangs of New York
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
About Schmidt
The Hours
About a Boy
Chicago
Adaptation
Antwone Fisher
The Quiet American
Frida

I notice that Star Trek: Nemesis isn't on that list.
What do you think of the list?

Wait, where's Eight Crazy Nights?

I haven't seen a single movie on that list. Though I do plan to see the first two.

Wow. A Leonardo DiCaprio movie I want to see.

And one I don't.

Two movies for normal people and a whole bunch of crap no ordinary person will see.

I'm surprised Road to Perdition wasn't up they, they're clearly trying to win awards and it's the type of movie critics usually like, but then again, the AFI is different than the Academy Awards (last year's AF I went to FOTR, so I suspect it wil got ot TTT this year)

C'mon Spanky, it's based on a historical event- oh wait, so was Titanic...

Well, uh... the characters are named and based after actual people. None of that stupid romance crap.

1. I hate DiCaprio
2. I hate New York
3. I dislike period pictues.

So count me out.

Spoilsport.

Maybe Utsano will want to go.

Nope. He's even more opinionated about that kind of stuff then I am.

Not his kind of film to give a shit about.

Curses.

I'll bet you two'll see TTT before me as well, just to spite me.

Bwahahaha, I'm going to see it at 12:01am tomorrow with Ewo!! AhahahaAhAHhHAHeaHHAEhaeha!!!

Argh!!

I won't get to see it until this weekend at the least!!

Damn it!!

I have the chance to go and watch it, but I have to work early Wenesday morning. In all hopes it's 3 hourse like FotR was. Heh. Now I see why all of those damned Warsie simmers on AoL were hyped up about the Lord of the Rings.

TTT is one minute under three hours.

Not going to see.

neoolong wrote: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

I'll see that one at least once in the theater.

neoolong wrote: About Schmidt
The Hours

Haven't heard of these two before.

neoolong wrote: About a Boy

I doubt I'll see this Hugh Grant film. Actually I'll probablly try to avoid
seeing this one.

neoolong wrote: Chicago
Adaptation
Antwone Fisher
The Quiet American

Haven't heard of these either.

neoolong wrote: Frida

Salma Hayek is in this one (anyone know if she gets naked?) so there's an off chance I'll see it sometime. I'm not really into Frida Kahlo's painting, even if they are kind of cool in a trippy sort of way, so a movie about her isn't a big draw for me.

What? How could they?

Not really all that impressed with the list, but then I hardly ever find critical favorites to be my favorites.
