the vast majority of these nominations have 1 thing in common: they're terrible choices. most of these weren't even one of the best films in the year they were released.

Pryor,

I'd like to see your list of the top five or ten movies of the last ten years. It would be interesting to see how your views differ from those expressed in this thread.

Well, that and most of the nominations in the thread aren't from the last ten years either.

My nomination would be Punch Drunk Love.

I'll throw Fargo into the ring. "Sewwww...yew wer' hea-vin' sex wit-tha little fella?"

Other low-key movies that I thought were good: The Cooler, and Owning Mahowney (with P.S. Hoffman).

Owning Mahowney was actually very good. I highly recommend it especially for people on 2+2. You'll all love it.
