What is your top 5?

[The Delfonics]

2002 was a decent year. I was surprised to have thrillers end up making my top list. With movie Adaptation, The Hours, and The Pianist, I still found in the end that these 5 movies entertained me more. Most were sleepers too.

1. One Hour Photo (9/10)
2. Equilibrium (9/10)
3. Salton Sea (8/10)
4. Red Dragon (8/10)
5. Solaris (8/10)

[A.J. Hakari]

You've got a good, solid top five filled with good pictures. Delfonics has a nice selection of terrific flicks, as well.

My top five:

1. Signs
2. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
3. Road to Perdition
4. Bowling for Columbine
5. Interview with the Assassin

[VicVega]

1. Red Dragon (8.5/10)
2. One Hour Photo (8/10)
3. Adaptation (9/10)
4. The Ring (8/10)
5. Dog Soldiers (7.5/10)

Runner Up
Irréversible (7/10)

[Lazy Boy]

The first four films on your list are all fine and watchable movies that I liked, but I didn't care much for About Schmidt (6/10). A fabulous performance by Jack Nicholson, who had to flounder in order to overcome being drowned by the snide, cynical direction of Alexander Payne, whose utter contempt is focused in a batch of grating supporting characters.

My top 5 of 2002:

1. Spirited Away
2. Punch-Drunk Love
3. Bowling For Columbine
4. Talk to Her
5. Frailty

[notchreturns]

I've only seen two of the films on your list:

Far From Heaven - 7/10
Kissing Jessica Stein - 6/10

My top 5 of 2002:

1.) Adaptation (10/10)
2.) Gangs of New York (9/10)
3.) Punch-Drunk Love
4.) Y Tu Mama Tambien
5.) Igby Goes Down (8/10)

[Ren Hoek]

Notch, I loved ADAPTATION (just have a look at my list!). GANGS OF NEW YORK was okay but an extremely underwhelming expericence. PUNCH-DRUNK was a pleasant surprise (I'm not exactly PTA's biggest fan) and is hands down Adam Sandler's best movie up to this day. My opinion about Y TO MAMA TAMBIEN is quite obvious, and the quirky IGBY GOES DOWN almost made it into my top 10 of 2002. Overall a very fine list! :)

Here's mine:

1. Spirited Away
2. Y Tu Mama Tambien
3. Adaptation
4. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
5. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

[Hannibal21]

YOUR LIST:
1. Far From Heaven 8.5/10
2. The Hours 9/10
3. Chicago 9.5/10
4. Kissing Jessica Stein 8/10
5. About Schmidt 8.5/10

MY LIST:
1. Spirited Away 9.5/10
2. Chicago 9.5/10
3. Gangs of New York 9/10
4. The Hours 9/10
5. Punch Drunk Love 9/10
Runners Up: Adaptation (# 6), Far From Heaven (# 7), About Schmidt (# 8), Moonlight Mile (# 9), Femme Fatale (# 10)

[bankholdup]

1. Gangs of New York
2. About Schmidt
3. Bowling For Columbine
4. Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones
5. Punch-Drunk Love


That's about right.

[Ren Hoek]

Uh-oh, I thought we were supposed to rate the list of the schmoe who posted before us... Stoooopid Ren! :p

movies35, I liked FAR FROM HEAVEN (7/10) (mainly for Julianna Moore's outstanding performance), kinda enjoyed THE HOURS (6/10), almost fell asleep in CHICAGO (5/10), couldn't care less for KISSING JESSICA STEIN (4/10), and loved Jack's antics in the off-beat ABOUT SCHMIDT (7/10).

I have yet to see Y Tu Mama Tambien, is it really that good? I can't believe Far From Heaven is only a 7/10. I do understand Kissing Jessica Stein though, most people don't like romantic comedys.

Maybe I'm missing something. What makes you think About Schmidt, Far from Heaven or Adaptation were dubbed? Do you live in a non-English speaking country? I thought mainly they were just subtitled in other countries?

I live in Italy, and unfortunately they dub movies here (they also do it in Spain and in France- I think) because few people speak good english and most people would rather see movies dubbed; that's why I watch very few movies in theatres and usually wait for DVD

[Dignan]

Why does everyone love GONY so much? I watched it last night, it was good, but I still think it was superflawed. Still decent I guess.
I'm to picky I guess. DDL gave an awesome performance, as did Dicaprio, but I think Diaz was miscast. Again thats just me. And I didn't like the whole "music video" direction of the opening battle. Felt like I was watching a Nine Inch Nails video set in the 1840s. Oh well. Still pretty good. To each his and/or her own. I'm too damn fickle.
Here is my TOP 10(breaklin out of the 5, I'm just cool like that)


10. The Salton Sea(8/10)
9. Changing Lanes(8/10)
8. About Schmidt(8/10)
