I know it's a little early to name my top 10 movies of 2004, especially since there are quite a few movies that have yet to open in Boston (and elsewhere) that will be released before the end of the year. Still, she told me to make a Top Ten list right this minute, and I'm nothing if not obedient so ... in no particular order, here they are:
- The Incredibles
- Finding Neverland
- Touching the Void
- Ray
- Before Sunset
- Garden State
- Saved!
- SuperSize Me
- De-Lovely
- Fahrenheit 9/11, but only when viewed on a double bill with Control Room
TJ, Paul, and Robyn have also threatened to post Top Ten Movie Lists sometime today, so check 'em out.
Not Motorcycle Diaries? Closer?
Posted by: jadedju on December 22, 2004 12:06 AMI haven't seen 'Motorcycle Diaries', and although 'Closer' was good, I found it to be way too depressing for me to think of it with any fondness. Besides, I think 'Your Friends and Neighbors' and 'In the Company of Men' were much better movies that made essentially the same point(s).
Entirely random: Eric and I will be in HAVERILL tonight (free hotel certificate expires this week, and all the Maine hotels require too many points). IF you are bored, call my cell phone...we're just gonna be hanging out (perhaps at the indoor pool!)...

Posted by: TJ on December 27, 2004 03:51 PMKinsey should be on the list...stellar cast, still socially relevant topic, interesting, sweet, moving, historic...
Posted by: Tim on December 31, 2004 01:20 PMSaved! was a very good film and I enjoyed it plenty but I don't believe it deserves a place in the top ten, plus there are many films you probalby haven't seen that easily top most of the movies on your list such as "Supersize Me" and "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind." Also I must strongly protest you putting Fareinheit 9/11 on the list. I haven't seen control room though. Fareinheit 9/11 was a horrible movie despite my democratic stand on the lasty election. There were all cheap shots at bush over and over. The only really moving parts are the graphic war images.
