I remember a while ago jblack assembled the Listology Top Ten of all time. In which he looked at all the top tens and assembled a list of the top ten films according to rank and frequency on the various lists. Then I thought maybe we could do that for the year. The idea is too submit your ordered top ten list (or top five, three, whatever you can afford), and we assemble a concensus top ten of the year. Does that sound like a good idea to anybody? It could be like a "Listology Recommends: 2001". If you wish to contribute, post a top ten on this post, or email me (nkt61886@hotmail.com) your list. If we could have them in by February, that would be cool.
Cool. Unfortunately, I haven't seen nearly enough recent movies to put together anything put a laughable top 10 (the last movie I saw in theaters was Memento, a 2000 release). So, here's my list of all the 2001 releases I've seen with my very own eyes, ranked in order of preference:
Bridget Jones's Diary
Spy Kids
Shrek
15 Minutes
The Mexican
Enemy at the Gates
Along Came a Spider
Blow
Hannibal
The Tailor of Panama
The Mummy Returns
A Knight's Tale
Someone Like You
The top 3 are all very very close. 15 Minutes was pretty good. Then the drop-off is quite precipitous. The next 3 are seriously flawed (but with some redeeming qualities), and I wouldn't recommend anything from Blow on down.
here is what I can contribute at this time.
1. Lord of The Rings : The Fellowship Of The Ring
2. The Others
3. A.I. Artificial Intelligence
4. Memento
5. Waking Life
6. Shrek
7. Panic
Thats all I really have for now.
Okay I have to say I haven't seen too many movies this year but there have been a couple I've really liked.
1. Amelie
2. Waking Life
3. Memento
4. Shrek
5. Ocean's 11
The top 2 were truly great
Here's my current Top 15 of 2001. Is that what you were looking for?
I'm guessing this is going to change substantially as I get caught up on 2001.
