I didn't see as many films this year as I have in the last couple. The primary culprit was the ol' foot and the various devices attached to it. However, here are my favorites from what I did manage to see...
1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
2. Sideways
3. A Very Long Engagement
4. House of Flying Daggers
5. Fahrenheit 9/11
6. The Saddest Music in the World
7. Bad Education
8. Dogville
9. Code 46
10. Before Sunset
11. Maria Full of Grace
12. Super-Size Me
13. Garden State
14. Control Room
15. Vera Drake

Posted by mikewolf at December 29, 2004 11:09 PMI should be embarrassed that I've seen exactly two of those movies.
Posted by: Frankenstein on December 29, 2004 11:52 PMP Frank, my number exactly. My Netflix queue is overpowering. And we never seem to have time to go to the movies. It makes me cry.
Posted by: Daniella on December 30, 2004 11:37 AMI saw 5 of them, but I meant to go see most of the others (and I have Dogville on DVD, though I haven't watched it yet). Except for Code 46, I don't think I know what that one is.
I also saw The Ladykillers, which was puzzling. As far as Brown Bunny, well, I figured I'd just wait for the MPEG and skip the rest...

Posted by: Dennis on December 30, 2004 01:38 PMSaw House of Flying Daggers yesterday, so that puts me up to 6 - five off the main list, plus The Ladykillers. I'm sure there must have been some riotous summer fling for my own "Can't Believe I Sat Through This" award, but I block these things out and can't recall anything in particular...
