Just my input though. - gerry Sat, 01 Nov 2008 14:00:27 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/tmf_top_5/jeremy_s_top_5/tmf_topfive020108/#comment-3249 I definitely agree with Saving Private Ryan as the better film (though, yes, Shakespeare In Love was a great movie). And though I loved Goodfellas, I whole-heartedly believe Dances With Wolves to be the better choice. It is, in my opinion, the better film. - Andy Hollingsworth Sun, 21 Sep 2008 22:36:08 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/tmf_top_5/jeremy_s_top_5/tmf_topfive020108/#comment-309 Great new section. Thank you for the list, Jeremy. First of all, when I read the topic of this weeks list the first movie that came to my mind was "Brokeback Mountain". When it lost to "Crash" I nearly fell off my sofa. I didn't like "Crash" at all, and I LOVED BBM. As for "Titanic", I like that movie a lot. Yeah, call me a typical girl, but hey, I didn't cry at the end. :P However, "L.A. Confidential" is a great movie and also the better movie, I agree. As for "Shakespeare in Love", it's a nice movie, but overrated in some ways. And I just don't get why Gwyneth Paltrow could win over Cate Blanchett's Elizabeth. Hello?! Also, from my side, and I know that this can end in a debate, I was pretty disappointed in 2003 when "Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King" won the award. I like the trilogy and Peter Jackson did something great here, but it was nominated with "Mystic River", "Master and Commander" and "Seabiscuit", three movies I really love. I guess it was just bad timing. - Rina Fri, 01 Feb 2008 23:28:52 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/tmf_top_5/jeremy_s_top_5/tmf_topfive020108/#comment-308 Hi Jan, this is such a great debut for the tMF top 5! I would love to have a 'second the motion' of your comment: [quote]I will give my 2 cents...the biggest and most disappointing movie to me that didn't win, was Brokeback Mountain, that lost to Crash. I know its debateable to many, but Brokeback Mountain really deserved to win. [/quote] I agree 100% I watched both, and I actually shouted and reacted almost 'violently' when BB lost, to Crash of all movies! That one is sooooo lame, I have no idea why it even got nominated, probably because Oprah love it. How can they be so wrong??? >:( - jedmed Fri, 01 Feb 2008 19:59:36 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/tmf_top_5/jeremy_s_top_5/tmf_topfive020108/#comment-307 wow, this is our first tMF top 5, what a great way to start Jeremy! Lemme have my say to this too! David, your Fargo is awesome, while I also love the English Patient, I must say that the Coen brothers did an amazing job with that film! [quote]Mundane![/quote] That is exactly the right word. ET until today is the classic film. Ghandi was too long, quite boring in certain scenes, though it was a 'great film' at that time, it seems... I watched both and it was in ET that I got the emotional connection. Perhaps because I have been a loner myself and I can't help but identify with Elliot. The last scene when they said their goodbyes to the alien is so touching... Drew was soo cute! ;D LA Confidential is another great movie that lost out...yeah, Guy Pearce was so awesome here, I am not surprised why he's sooo good in Memento too! But I love Shakespeare in Love, though I would have to say Elizabeth is better...that's the day when Paltrow took the Oscar best actress from Cate Blanchett!!! >:( >:( >:( - jedmed Fri, 01 Feb 2008 19:47:28 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/tmf_top_5/jeremy_s_top_5/tmf_topfive020108/#comment-306 tMF Top 5 list is an awesome idea!! I will certainly be looking forward to Fridays now, to see all the interesting lists you and perhaps readers will come up with here. I will give my 2 cents...the biggest and most disappointing movie to me that didn't win, was Brokeback Mountain, that lost to Crash. I know its debateable to many, but Brokeback Mountain really deserved to win. Great debut list Jeremy, thanks! :) - Jan Fri, 01 Feb 2008 19:40:22 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/tmf_top_5/jeremy_s_top_5/tmf_topfive020108/#comment-304 love this list ...all these films should've won!!!! how about FARGO not winning due to the ENGLISH PATIENT!!!!! highway robbery!!! i love this segment and believe it's going to be a hit! - dimichele305 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 19:11:57 +0100
