	Your favorite movies of this millenium Suffering from ads?

My favorites:

Black Hawk Down
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Signs
8 Mile

Everyone should have seen these by now. They are all excellent.

Signs is the least acclaimed of my choices, but I think it was the best. It's not really what you'd expect from the previews. It's more about faith and stuff. It's easily Shyamalan's best film; the directing is superb, and the entire cast was excellent. (There are only 6 characters that appear in more than one scene, and two of them are children. But those 6 characters were cast well.)

Any that I should go see or rent?

Hm, I've only seen four movies this mellenium. The two Lord of the Rings Movies, Bowling for columbine, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

They where all decent, i guess.

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist... an instant classic.
Equilibrium is great also, easily the best sci-fi flick in years.

Jag, you really thought Signs was better than 6th Sense? I thought the movie was good, the suspense and atmosphere were definately the best I've seen in a long time, but I thought the story was kind of weak. After seeing it I thought, "You know, Shyamalan is an awesome director, but he shouldn't be allowed to write the scripts anymore."

Good, but hardly great. It wasn't a bit scary. But it was a good story, as far as it went.

ya the signs plot wasnt great but the suspense, sound, camera work, and overall atmosphere make up for it 3 fold.

I take it you do not live in a sophisticated urban environment then?

Then get off your backside and leave the bucolic swamp you live in and make your way to civilisation. In cities people use something called "money" instead of exchanging animals so you'll need some. Just beat someone over the head with your scythe and take theirs. Make sure not to chew grass or people will stare. You don't need any new clothes since urban youth have taken up dressing like backwoods farmers, so you'll fit in. Then go to a cinema and buy a ticket to "City of God". When you emerge from the film offer a prayer to God for allowing it to be made.

It is worth a pilgrimage of a few days to see - trust me. I almost never recommend films but this one is dynamite.

PS - Leave your donkey outside as it will annoy the other patrons.

Agathon, I know that was intended to be humorous, but the ignorance and pure triteness of your statement makes me shake my head in amazement.

I challenge you to an obscure movie face off. have you seen "The Man Who Cried"?

Oh poo to you too

No I haven't seen "The Man who Cried". That wouldn't get shown in New Zealand because NZ men don't cry like all those effeminate blokes from other countries. So there...

But where do you live if City of God is not on? It must be fairly out of the way. We used to get all these sorts of movies in the cow town I used to live in.

There are many, many more films I like, but these are the ones I see actually becoming "classics" for different reasons.
