Quote from: pixote on July 16, 2012, 05:30:11 PM2000:Yikes, I'm not that impressed to see that four of the five highest rated films for 2000 at IMDb are Memento, Gladiator, Snatch, and Amores Perros (Requiem for a Dream is the lone standout, ranked second), but how about this for a Best Non-English Language Film race (or even a Best Picture race): In the Mood for Love, Werckmeister Harmonies, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Yi Yi, and Eureka. And that top five doesn't even include Devils on the Doorstep, Battle Royale, J.S.A.: Joint Security Area, Nine Queens, In July, Divided We Fall, Il Mare, A Time for Drunken Horses, Songs from the Second Floor, Together, La commune (Paris, 1871), Platform, The Circle, and Blackboards. That's a pretty exciting list. And English language cinema has its moments, too: Almost Famous, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Traffic, Before Night Falls, Dancer in the Dark, You Can Count on Me, Billy Elliot, High Fidelity, Remember the Titans, Cast Away, American Psycho, George Washington, Wonder Boys, Best in Show, X-Men, Unbreakable, Thirteen Days, Erin Brockovich, Pitch Black, Meet the Parents, etc. Not a bad documentary race either: Sound and Fury, Into the Arms of Strangers, Dark Days, Paradise Lost 2: Revelations, and The Gleaners & I. And maybe something from Japan could keep either The Emperor's New Groove or Chicken Run from walking away with an undeserved Animated Feature Filmspot.Score: 8Top films by year that I'd be excited to (re)watch:2000Werckmeister HarmoniesYi YiJ.S.A.EurekaDark DaysAmerican Psycho (though I need time to read the book first)PlatformThe Taste of OthersVirgin Stripped Bare by Her BachelorsDevils on the DoorstepRequiem for a DreamLa commune (Paris, 1871)Battle RoyaleIn July

What happened to the logic of going with a relatively recent year to get more participation? 1974=old.
