My choice for best picture? Pride and Prejudice: magnificent, beautiful on every level, soothing, happy ending, no giant gorillas, no violence, no CGI special effects.
1. The Rocky Horror Picture Show; 2. Aliens; 3. Minority Report; 4. Man on Fire; 5. Training Day.
that list explains why the dums lose the elections
I hope to never meet a person that would see much less enjoy those films
You can say that again. Wowser....what a list! I'm still shaking my head in amazement.
It is a Slate list. Therefore of suspect judgement.
I thank you for keeping these people under watch. These films, just from the titles, look very unpleasant at best and likely subversive and corrupting at worst.
But this is no surprise when seen to come from someone at Slate. The concept of 'wholesome' has been stricken from their style books (they don't have 'morals' in the conventional sense, being above all that).
/only slightly relenting the sarcasm mode.
My favorite was "March of the Penguins". Nothing else came close.
Aliens is my choice of best all time horror flicks.
"March of the Penguins" is definitely in the REAL top 10, and at or near the top of any list. I also liked King Kong a lot.
We should do a Free Republic movie awards selection. We can call it the "Jammies" (after the pajamahadeen), or, for that matter, the "Jimmies" (after our Dear Leader). I'd nominate Chronicles of Narnia, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Cinderella Man for Best Picture. I would hope that "Glory Road" is nominable.
We could have some extra categories: "Best Presentation of Conservative Values," (so people wouldn't vote based on ideology for Best Pucture), and "Best Guilty Pleasure" so I could vote for "Mean Girls" for something. :^D... or was that out last year?
Half these flicks (especially the ones you never heard of) were only shown in Blue State urban cinemas to an audience of 10 people.
Didn't see any of that crap.
Our family really enjoyed March of the Penguins.
No, I believe Brokeback Mountain came in at #69.
Best conservative picture of 2005: March of the Penguins, believe it or not. Family values thing.
I think "Mean Girls" came out last year, because I rented it this year, and I'm always way behind!
Alien fell more squarely into the "horror" genre than Aliens did; it was more of a backing-up-into-a-dark-hallway kind of movie than Aliens was. The second was more action than horror.
Shaolin Soccer. Chinese movie with subtitles, yet it still had a 5-year-old, a 9-year-old, a 10-year-old and a 33-year-old engrossed.
Brokeback Mountain is the left's current assault on American values.
