i'm sure there's some movies i really like but i'm forgetting at the moment.

Many of these will make my list. I need to do this sometime this week.

I enjoyed all of these except Brotherhood of the Wolf. I remember laughing at it when I saw it. I haven't seen it since it came out but I have it on DVD b/c I bought it unseen on a friend's rec. I should watch it again to see what I think of it now.

More I'd forgotten about. Lurved 'em.

Good call on The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth.

yep, and dead man's shoes

Good call on Brotherhood of the Wolf

cool flick

Yeah, I think I liked Black Snake Moan a little better. Dark Days is a great pick.

I would need to see a list of every movie that came out from 2000-2009 to pick my faves...
I like to think, that I purchased every movie I really loved on DVD in this point, but I'm sure I missed a ton.

Agree. Really cool doc.

That list is strangely close to being alphabetical. It almost looks like you used an alphabetical list as a starting point.

I just re-watched Pan's Labrynth the other day. Excellent.

...

i did, then took out the ones that i didn't like as much.

i liked all the Bourne movies but Ultimatum the least. His two distinguishing characteristics (being a loner and an amnesiac, albeit both due to circumstances out of his control) were gone.

Ultimatum was easily my favorite. I thought that series got better as it went.

loved this, along with this is england. are shane meadow's other films worth seeing?

forgot about session 9. good.

i watched Up last night and would definitely add that to my list somewhere.

Weird, I like them in order of release.

Still trying to decide about that. I need to watch it again to decide if I like it more than Ratatouille.



I saw Identity in the theater and felt like it was kind of generic and dull. Then I watched both Supremacy and Ultimatum as bootleg video streams because I thought the whole series was no big deal. I enjoyed both of those way more than I thought I would, especially the latter, and I still wish I'd seen it in the theater for all of the great stunts and fight choreography.

I will say that I like them all, just enjoy the first one's basic ambiguity the best.

The opener of the third one where he's chasing that dude all through the Moroccan slum or whatever and they're jumping off all that shit is pretty crazy.

It's sort of why I included Blood Diamond on my list -- an old school style thriller where it relies on the characters and situation more than the CGI to tell the story.

i should probably watch ratatouille soon.

i like supremacy better than identity, but they're all really good. i think most of that may be due to paul greengrass directing the 2nd and 3rd.

yeah, to me it's the closest anyone's ever come to capturing the same feel as three days of the condor
