    3. American Splendor
    4. Finding Nemo
    5. Master and Commander: The Far Side of The World
    6. Mystic River
    7. Owning Mahowny
    8. The Son
    9. Whale Rider
    10. In America
    Roeper's list:
    1. In America
    2. Mystic River
    3. Lost in Translation
    4. 21 Grams
    5. Elephant
    6. The Barbarian Invasions
    7. The Station Agent
    8. Whale Rider
    9. Monster
    10. Seabiscuit
    The format was changed this year, to the detriment of the program in my opinion. They each breeze through the lists in their entirety rather than discuss selected titles at further length, leaving less room for analysis and less cross-talk. Both guys otherwise seem impatient and I'm left with the impression that this taping was rushed.

      I went to the premiere of this movie when it first came out and was blown away with the film's brilliant nuances and writing. It's a love story to America, in a way. Got to meet Paddy Considine and Djimon Hounsou afterwards; really a tremendous memory.

  • @Chillguy99
    @Chillguy99 3 года назад +9

    Thanks for uploading this! 2003 was one of the best year's for film. I must, respectively, disagree with the lists of you, Ebert and Roeper but everyone has different films that speak to them. In 2003 it was mostly the big budget epics that deeply moved and inspired me:
    1. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
    2. Kill Bill Vol. 1
    3. The Dreamers
    4. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
    5. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
    6. The Last Samurai
    7. Mystic River
    8. Lost in Translation
    9. The Matrix Reloaded (Yes I love this movie, so sue me, lol)
    10. Cold Mountain
    Most of these "smaller" films I confess I haven't actually seen. "In America" does look really charming. I've read Ebert's review of that film but I didn't know that Roeper (who is always underappreciated as a critic) also loved it so I'll check that one out. And I like your inclusion of the hilarious "Bad Santa." I love how shamelessly vulgar it is but was also impressed how the tone shifted toward the end. Most comedies that try to be really moving miss the mark and just don't work for me but Bad Santa surprisingly did work.

      I wouldn't go that far, but it is one of the sloppiest I've seen from Eastwood and I'm confident it wouldn't have received nearly as much attention if the studio hadn't promoted it during awards season. Slick from a production standpoint, but it's an overbaked factory-crafted product that makes little sense, and the second half might as well have been directed on auto-pilot.
      I think Penn and most of the cast are good in it, but Robbins's work is corny, histrionic, and just plain BAD.
