1.CTHD
2.Moulon Rouge
3.AI
4.Amelie

[list=1]
Together
Pearl Harbor
Amores Perros
Battle Royale
Brother
[/list=1]

[Jazzatola]

So we're restricted to the last yeah, huh? Ok then, here are my favourites....

1. The Man Who Wasn't There
2. Spy Game
3. The Pledge
4. The Contender
5. State & Main

Turkey: Pearl Harbor

[Earl Jolly Brown]

Living abroad for most of this year meant that I barely got a chance to see any of the foreign films released in the UK - I mainly saw US blockbusters or indies. So...

1) A.I.
2) The Man Who Wasn't There
3) Memento (released in Korea in Aug 2001 :D )
4) The Tailor of Panama
5) The Nine Lives of Tomas Katz

[charlie angel]

DVDs or cinema? Or both?

1) The Others
2) Shrek
3) Traffic
4) Amores Perros
5) The Pledge


Turkey - Pearl Harbor

[Posie Flump]

1) Amelie
2) The Others
3) The Low Down
4) Bridget Jones's Diary
5) Harry, He's Here To Help

There's others that would probably get in ahead of 4 & 5 which I keep meaning to watch but haven't got around to yet.

[mikegray]

1. Amelie
2. Moulin Rouge
3. Shrek
4. Amores Perros
5. Me Without You

and my turkey of the year : The Fast And Furious

[Mr M0by]

1. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
2. Moulin Rouge
3. A.I.
4. Shrek
5. Unbreakable

Though an honourable mention for Wonder Boys, which my local cinema (the famed Southend Odeon didn't show it on first release).
Nor did they show Amelie, Ghost World or The Pledge - just a few of those not screened that I wanted to see.

But there.... I think that's quite an eclectic Top 5.

[George vader]

Wasn't CTHD released in 2000?

[Mr M0by]

Not in the Uk it wasn't.... Remember the rush to get the R3 version at start of January as it was opening in the cinema's.
And Unbreakable was released on the 29th Dec, and I saw it on that night, but I can count it as this year....
right?

You are indeed correct!
UK release date was 5/1/2001.

[Mr M0by]

So does that mean CTHD will appear in an edited version of your 2001 TOP 5?

How about we just let this poll run until the end of the year and let everyone edit their votes as they see new films? Probably get more entries that way too.

[DeadKenny]

The Others?:eek: That's a girly horror film isn't it? :p

Difficult to give a top 5, most stuff this year has been pants.

Can't remember everything I've seen this year, but from what I can remember...

1. A.I.
2. Man Who Wasn't There
3. Hannibal
4. CTHD if you're counting that (sure it was 2000, but anyway)
5. Spy Games


So that's Spielberg/Kubrick, Coen Brothers, Scott Brothers + Ang Lee. Not a bad list :D.

[Quint]

Cant belive that no one else has said Thirteen Days as well! :confused: :(

Wow ! I really think that would have been my Top 5 (though not in that order) if, one - my girlfriend wasn't so soft and went to see The Others and, two - Southend Odeon screened Amelie.

Ps - Ralphph, I really think you should have a word with the boys at the Ode.

[ian_davies]

1) Battle Royale
2) Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
3) Brother
4) Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone
5) Evolution

Subject to change after December 19th of course! ;)

Except how could it have been when I voted Moulin Rouge for No.2 !
D'oh...!

Still I like, or am sure to like all of those films.

Well, it'd probably be my #6 or #7! But that's the problem with a top five - there's always going to be a few left out!

[Yonathan Gal]

Yep, 13 Days was a brilliant film, just not the top 5... as was The Pledge.... and one or two more. Haven't watched The Man Who Wasn't There but maybe that would effect my list if I did!

[George vader]

Have to admit, I've yet to see..
Amelie
Battle Royale (on order)
The Man Who Wasn't There
The Pledge
13 days
So my "Top 5" is still ,shall we say,inaccurate !

[Yonathan Gal]

Trust me, you gotta watch Amelie, it's really incredible. I haven't watched Battle Royale either...

[George vader]

I'll have to replace MTP with Memento at no. 5

[simonb]

1 Amores Perros
2 Traffic
3 The Pledge

[Mr M0by]

So how many people have voted so far? I'd be interested in seeing the Top 5 before and after the release of LOTR.

[George vader]

I'll make a note of the Top 5 before 19/12/01,
then people can amend their 5, if they wish too....:)
I expect a certain film to feature heavily...No! not this one!!! (http://www.joblo.com/2001-aspacetravesty.htm)
