This is my list:
1. Two Towers 2. Harry Potter 2 3. Road to Perdition 4. Attack of the Clones 5. Goldmember 6. Lilo & Stitch 7. Ice Age 8. Signs 9. Minority Report 10. Reign of Fire I only included the movies I saw. There was a lot of internal debate, but Spiderman doesn't make the list. The more I think about it, I just can't see what the big deal was. Reign of Fire wasn't on the list, but I realized I had included Monsters, Inc., which came out in 2001. Black Hawk Down would be on there, I am sure, but I never got to see it. Goldmember probably makes it from the first 5 minutes alone.

good post and I agree with most, but my question is what's so great about Reign of Fire? I love SiFi and Fantasy, but this movie didn't really work. I'm a huge fan of MM and still had issues, except for his performance. Monster Inc. is also very good, but your right, it is a 2001 film. Hated the 1st Harry Potter, so I didn't see no. 2.

I liked Reign of Fire quite a bit. To me, and several critics felt the same way, the acting was superb. The actors treated the script as something more than just a campy sci-fi film. They took it seriously. And I though the effects were consistently good. In many films, including SW:AOTC and LOTR:TTT, some effect shots are great and some are less so. But Reign of Fire's effect shots were consistent.
You may be the first person that I have come across who did not like Harry Potter. Everybody I know loved it. And I thought the second one was better than the first.

Well, it is my list. I can do what I want. I thought it was a hell of a lot better than Spiderman, which so many people seem to loved.
I also left off Solaris, which I did not see, so I could not include it. And considering the wide range of reactions to it, I can't be sure how I would rank it.

Not that anyone cares, but here's my view on the Top 10...
1T. Attack of the Clones (Yoda was just too cool! & Natalie Portman) 1T. Two Towers (Gollum was awesome, but just too much of Liv's character.. barely mentioned in 1st 2 books... even less consistent with the book than the 1st one) 3. Spiderman (what's not to like? Follows the Spidey story, nice wet T-Shirt shot) 4. Goldmember (too freakin' hilarious!) 5. Harry Potter 2 (where's Peeves?) 6. Lilo & Stitch (way better'n I thought it'd be) 7. Signs (haven't seen it yet... based on sheer "wanna see it"  8. Minority Report (see Signs) 9. Reign of Fire (Mad Max with a few dragons... nothing special & they forgot about the egg...) 10. Road to Perdition (haven't seen, yet, but if it was good enuf for your #3, I'll keep it on my list)

<< what about 8 Mile >> Did not see it. I was interested in it, though. But my movie watching decreased dramatically after August.

I did not see 10 movies this year, but here's what I did see.
1. Ice Age 2. The Ring 3. Minority Report 4. Analyze That 5. Lilo & Stitch Only 5 movies?! I think I might have seen one or two more, but I can't remember. This is sad! Also saw Pluto Nash, but can't put it in my top 10. New Year's resolution #2: See more movies. |

Really enjoyed:
Bowling For Columbine Hours Talk to Her Y Tu Mama, Tambien Human Nature 25th Hour Standing in the Shadows of Motown Road to Perdition Catch me If you Can Gangs of New York With a nod to "Far from Heaven" as the most creepy, strange, fascinatingly odd movie that recreates and spins the melodramas of the 50's. Total Disappointment: Wind Talkers Panic Room Slight Disappointment: TTT Minority Report Signs Biggest Surprise: 8 Mile. By 100 miles !
