But I think in 2007, idk, it was the end of the Bush administration and we were all in a mood, lol. And if it wasn’t that, it’d have been TWBB.

I still think NO COUNTRY is the best out of this lineup with THE HURT LOCKER close behind but wow…what a sorry lineup of films this is.
#1-No Country for Old Men
#2-The Hurt Locker
.
#3-Chicago
#4-LOTR
#5-The Departed
.
(Ugh…I have trouble even ranking any of these films something as high as #6)
#6-Million Dollar Baby
#7-A Beautiful Mind
#8-Gladiator
#9-Slumdog Millionaire
#10-CrashReplyCopy URL“The art of making art is putting it together...”

Chicago was fun back in the day but I don’t know if I could sit through it again. I think I would find it kinda silly nowadays.
A Beautiful Mind was a great film but the subject matter made it too disturbing to watch it again.ReplyCopy URLFYC: Vanessa Kirby - Pieces of a Woman
March 6, 2021 at 2:21 pm #1204088493No Country For Old Men. There’s not even room for discussion.

1) Chicago
2) Lord of the Rings : Return of the King
3) The Departed
4) Slumdog Millionaire
5) The Hurt Locker<i>A Beautiful Mind</i>, Crash, Gladiator and Million Dollar Baby should not be even in this list.

10. The Hurt LockerMarch 7, 2021 at 6:38 am #1204089613Million Dollar Baby should have never won Picture and Directing.
The Aviator, Eternal Sunshine, and Sideways were all way more deserving winners.
ReplyCopy URLMarch 7, 2021 at 9:53 am #1204089978No Country for Old Men, no question. And that was the best year of cinema, absolute quality. There were a dozen movies that year were better than any of these BP winners.
