It's basically a coin flip between Black Hawk Down and LOTR.

 

[SoberAwakening]

The Fast and the Furious for me.

Out of all those movies listed, it was the only one that had a huge change in society. I was in H.S. at the time. Cars were getting modded almost over night. An old airfield in town got restored and kids were racing their cars there. It was crazy. I've never seen anything like it. On the screen one day and within months, it was how people were trying to live their lives.

Honorable mentions for me are Blow, Training Day, and Ocean's 11 (my favorite trilogy ever).

It's one of those movies that I still remember watching in the theater. I went with my dad to this little theater in Jackson, MS and was just fucking blown away from the movie. Afterward, I remember we went over to the mall to do some Christmas shopping and for like the first few hours I was still aglow from the experience seeing Frodo and Co. do their thing on the big screen. Just an amazing experience.

Mulholland Drive and it's not even close. That is one of the greatest movies of all time.

The Fast and the Furious is definitely up there near the top for me for this year. In fact, I'd say it's #2, just behind Fellowship.

Even though I have to go with the hobbitses, TF&TF is an important film for me and one I have a personal connection to.

 

[usulrah]

This seems like the weakest year overall so far

I forgot that LOTR and HP came out the same year within in month of each other! That was a crazy time too.

 

[smooth assassin]

I picked Donnie Darko

No love for LOTR?

 

[Guestx]

I can't pick it for fave of the year, but I gotta give a shoutout to what is perhaps Tony Scott's most underrated film:

 

[Agent Mulder's Hair]

Donnie Darko for me.


Rush Hour 2 should be up there imo.

 

[ookii]

yeah.......I think those 4 votes for Mulholland's Drive was strictly for the Laura Harring and Naomi Watts bedding scene

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

George, what do you know about cocaine?

Those LOTR films could possibly 3-peat and win the polls from 2001-2003. The only other movie trilogy that could do that would be the Nolan's Batman

It's a possibility. I think Two Towers is the weak link, though.

As for Nolan, TDKR is where that would fall apart, I think.
