That's the problem.  I thought the cinematography was a very lousy job by
Ridley, on top of his questionable framing.  It was just a lousy job for his
caliber, that doesn't mean it's a bad thing.  Kinda like Spielberg doing
lousy directing on the Lost World.  There was some nice moments, but I
expected much more from a director who can do perfect framing jobs (Blade
Runner!).  It's a nice escapist movie, lots of fun if you forget about the
anachronisms :)  I did not agree with the Academy, but it's has always been
a popularity contest.  In over 20 years I've agreed with their best picture
choice 3times only (84, 92, 93)

Top 10 of 2000?

1-Dancer in the Dark
2-Memento
3-Maelstr?m
4-Amores Perros
5-Wo hu Zang Long (CT,HD)
6-Traffic
7-Wonder Boys
8-15 fvrier 1839
9-American Psycho
10-Shadow of the Vampire

Some of them are international movies, you probably never seen them (3 and 8
especially as they are from Qubec)

Forgeries? I've made no forgeries. If they are second rate then that
doesn't say much  for all you ***s replying then does it? I've even
said, more than once, that I was winding someone up, and yet you all
still reply. Doh! I'm a r.a.s'er and my brain hurts.

Take it as you like. You don't really know how I mean it and I'm not
about to bother explaining. Let's just say you are not me and
therefore don't have a clue as to what my true beliefs are. How I
represent myself on usenet from time to time are not always
representative of me. I should put that as a disclaimer in all my
posts maybe. "All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players"

CTHD and Traffic are fantastic indeed, Memento is on my
need-to-see-this-badly list, but I haven't even heard of the rest :)
But movies are released here much later than in the states so they
will probably be shown here later. I'll add them to my
need-to-see-these-badly list, thx :)

How can that be biased?  I go see movies from all over the world (note that
4-5 movies in that list are not *American* movies).  But since I live in
Qubec, movies from where I live are easily accessible to the viewers.  Like
American movies for Americans.  Like German movies in Germany.  Like Italian
movies in Italy.  I watched many and those two stand upon my top 10 list.
Why?  Because in the society in which I live, they affected me.  Like Dancer
in the Dark affected me, or CTHD.  Why are you trolling?

It's "Quebecois", btw.

Dancer in the Dark is an excellent movie, directed by the great Lars von
Trier and featuing Bj?rk and Catherine Deneuve.  It won the Golden Palm at
Cannes last year.  It's out on DVD now in the US, you should really check it
out if you like movies.  It's not a mainstream movie, but it's really
amazing.  And Bj?rk, what can I say more! (hmmmmmm!). Wonder Boys, American
Psycho and Shadow of the Vampire are American movies released last year,
they should all be available in VHS/DVD now.  Really all quality movies to
rent.

Yeah, in my list there is still 3 movies that are shown in the US presently.
It just takes more time to the American public to reach out to other movies.
