2004's Top Movies! RESULTS

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Here we all are again and I've come over all Jonathan Ross Film 2005. So without further ado, let's start the rundown of the top 50 movies of the year as voted for by you!

Plot outlines taken from imdb.com

50: Saw

"With a dead body laying between them, two men wake up in the secure lair of a serial killer who's been nicknamed "Jigsaw" by the police because of his unusual calling card."

49: I, Robot

"In the year 2035 a techno-phobic cop investigates a crime that may have been perpetrated by a robot, which leads to a larger threat to humanity."

48: The Day After Tomorrow

"A climatologist tries to figure out a way to save the world from abrupt global warming. He must get to his young son in New York, which is being taken over by a new ice age."

47: Alfie

"A cockney womanizer learns the hard way about the dangers of his actions."

What was wrong with the original is what I want to know...

46: Dogville

"A woman on the run from the mob is reluctantly accepted in a small Colorado town. In exchange she agrees to work for them. As a search visits town, she finds her their support has a price. Yet her dangerous secret is never far away..."

45: When The Last Sword Is Drawn

"Kanichiro Yoshimura is a samurai family man who can no longer feed his wife and children due to the low wages paid from his small town clan. Sadly, he packs up and leaves his loved ones behind so he may make a higher earning to support his family in the big city as he joins the large and renowned samurai faction, the Shinsen-gumi, where he will lead a difficult, but enriching life during one of the most tumultuous times in Japanese history."

Very good film IMO, under-rated.

EDIT: Saw, that is.

Out of those six I've seen The Day After Tomorrow. It's a pretty good movie that serves its purpose as a mindless disaster movie.

[K]

Tommorrow and robot were equally shit.

[TheReaper316]

I quite enjoyed I, Robot but I was bored out of my mind during TDAT, prolly cuz I watched a good movie right before it. I was hyped with trailers cuz I dont got a prob with disaster flicks but it was just dull for me.

[Benji]

Tommorrow and robot were equally shit.

Thank fuck, I'm not alone, people say Robot was shit because of advertising, yes, that made it shit, along with the old shit plot and amazingly bad acting on Smith's part.

[Pepsi]

My boyfriend made me read the original screenplay Alex Proyas wrote for I, Robot. Oh, it was and woulda been so much better. Extremly dark, in the same catagory as The Crow and Dark City only with robots. But I guess once Will Smith showed interest he was forced to re-write a lot of it to make it more a Will Smith vehicle. Such a waste. I, Robot, The Day After Tomorrow, and Alfie sucked. The Day After Tomorrow was awful, the first 30 minutes was a fun disaster movie flick but the last 2/3 was pure shit.

[Guest BacknBlackHoez]

I liked I, Robot & Saw.

[GoGo Yubari]

Bah. I enjoyed I, Robot, even if it is the ussual Will Smith vehicle.

[StevenRichardsRules]

I, Robot was okay. Nothing special in anyway. I enjoyed it while ther but the original script would have been better. And yes, I have read it.

[livid]

I liked SAW, I, Robot, and TDAT so I can't really give an unbias opinion on wether or not they deserve to be where they are, but oh well. Why can't people just post the entire list, it's not like it's that dramatic to post it in 5 thing incraments, but oh well. I hope this turns out well with King Arthur (a movie I just watched and for some reason, I love it) or Garden State near the top.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

The reason I'm posting five at a time is that I don't have the time to organise 50 at once, I find it easier to get 10 minutes at a time to throw 5 together with a plot outline. It's not really for suspense, just the need.

Anyways...

44: OldBoy

"An average man is kidnapped and imprisoned in a hotel room for 15 years without explanation. He then is released, equipped with money, a cellphone and expensive clothes. As he strives to explain his imprisonment and get his revenge, he soon finds out that not only his kidnapper has still plans for him, but that those plans will serve as the even worse finale to 15 years of imprisonment."

And it's proper lush. This is one of my personal reccomendations.

43: 50 First Dates

"Adam Sandler plays a man who falls in love with Lucy (Drew Barrymore), a woman with short-term memory loss. Therefore, Lucy never remembers Sandler and this proves to be a pain for him as he always has to gain her back every day."

I'm watching this tonight so I'll see how good it is...

42: Baadasssss

(Otherwise known as "How To Get The Man's Foot Outta Your Ass")

"Mario Van Peebles's half documentary/half homage to his father Melvin's 1971 film, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song."

41: After The Sunset

"The story of what happens after a master thief achieves his last big score, when the FBI agent who promised he'd capture him is about to do just that."

40: The Village

"The population of a small, isolated countryside village believe that their alliance with the mythical creatures that inhabit the forest around them, is coming to an end."

At least a couple of us liked it...

[GoGo Yubari]

I always forget that I saw 50 First Dates. I really liked that one.

[Liam]

Absolutely hated The Village. Had to apologise to my date for taking her to see it...

[K]

I actually liked 50 first dates. It's was corny stupid and predictable, but I can't not like Adam Sandler.

(Except in going overboard DIE DIE DIE)

[Pepsi]

After the Sunset and The Village were both terrible.

[FLiam]

Day After Tomorrow, 48th?

I loved that film.

[Ananas]

Out of those I saw 50 First Dates and Badaasss. 50 First Dates was lame and Badass was simply that.

[Pepsi]

I didn't know this many people liked Day After Tommorow. When I saw it the theater was laughing through almost the whole thing.

[Jonny D]

The only ones I've seen so far are I, Robot and 50 First Dates. I thought I, Robot was pretty shit, but I liked 50 First Dates. I was expecting to hate it, but I liked it.
