*Note that these are films I've judged the "best" and not necessarily my personal favorites. For instance, I enjoyed Dark Knight more than Frost/Nixon, but the latter film had pretty much perfect execution for what it was.

Further note that my decisions are arbitrary, that I haven't seen every great movie that's been made, and that I keep an idol of Dagon in my bedroom, which I pray to daily.

Yeah, but all of them are ':P' ':x' ':rolleyes:' or some kind of oneliner.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Please explain why Stuart Gordon's film DAGON didn't win in 2001 then. :ultra:

I liked it better when it was the "Teaches".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I liked the part where you got to see the hott Spanish chick's boobs.  I don't remember the other 99.99999% of the movie.  Oh wait, there was that part where they peeled the old dude's face off.  That was neat.  :)

You've too much time.
There's no way I could do that much checking. And pre 1960 I'd really just be listing films from that period that I have seen, not necessarily good ones.

2005- Brokeback Mountain

WTF? The list is great, but that ruins it.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Look at the other nominees that year: Crash, Capote, Good Night and Good Luck, Munich. It was an awful year.
