Thanks for the comprehensive list. It will guide our family movie night viewing for a period of time this year.
Any time buddy, thanks for reading!
Not a bad list but the Hollywood Foreign Press might ? some of those picks.
They’re a bunch of idiots; Avatar for Best Picture? WTF?
Good list but I think a few of the films need to be rated a little higher, such as Donnie Darko, 25th hour, and gladiator. Plus, Children of men and Munich were very over rated movies. Other than that, good list
