Time to jump a year to 2001!! Let’s see what Joel thinks should have been nominated best Picture..
5. Donnie Darko
At first, the trailer makes it seem as if it’s just some insane serial killer film, but once you start to watch it, it’s something completely different. The film about a boy who discovers how time travel works thanks to a man in a bunny costume…I wish I were making that up, but it’s all completely true, and it’s amazing. It’s set in 1985 and it just reaks of nostalgia, and it also brings some creepyness into the film. Watch out for the film they watch at the cinema, one of my all time favorite horror films!!!
4. In The Bedroom
Great drama with amazing acting from the entire cast, this film is just so powerful. How do you deal with death..how far will you go? It’s just a great film all around, Bravo!
3. Memento
Christopher Nolan’s Masterpiece about a man who is determined to find his wife’s killer, the only problem…he has short term memory loss. The film plays backwards throught scenes and the acting, cinematography and editing are all astounding.
2. Amelie
French film about a girl who tryes to bring love to all around her. Really funny and cute! A true film to love by all! So who beat Amelie you may ask? well it should be obvious…
1. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Wow, I didn’t even know anything about the books or the series while growing up, so when I saw the previews I was thinking…it looks alright. So I sit down and watch it in theatres and my mind blew up, It is spectacular!!!! Everything about it, the scenery, the cinematography, the music, the acting, the monsters, the story, the writting!! All amazing! Thank you Peter Jackson, your follow up to The Frighteners is amazing! This is my top film of 2001!
