Manowar is neither of those things.

These are my favorites from the year.

Biker Boyz
The Recruit
Daredevil
The Life of David Gale
Cradle 2 the Grave
Old School
Dreamcatcher
Basic
Head of State
Bulletproof Monk
Malibu's Most Wanted
A Man Apart
Phone Booth
Confidence
Identity
Finding Nemo
The Italian Job
The Matrix Reloaded
Wrong Turn
Hollywood Homicide
28 Days Later
Bad Boys 2
S.W.A.T.
Freddy Vs. Jason
Cabin Fever
Matchstick Men
Jeepers Creepers 2
Once Upon A Time In Mexico
Underworld
School of Rock
Love Actually
Gothika
Paycheck
Elf
Kill Bill Vol 1.

There were so many good thrillers that came out this year. I bolded all of the thrillers that I felt were a bit underrated.

Gothika was supposed to be a horror but I don't feel like it was. It felt more like a thriller imo.

Also way better comedies that year than Bad Santa. Elf for one, Bad Boys 2, School of Rock and Old School.

sorry i'm so late.

my main complaint about the movie of 2003 is Lost in Translation loosing the oscar....it's not that i dislike Return of the King but in my opinion Fellowship was the best of three and it should have won best picture.....hmmm actually i'm not sure what it was up against....but anyways...Lost in Translation is a really good film...easily with in my top ten.....the type of film that i will not put on if i want to sleep and need background noise cause it will always pull me in

You just don't like fun.

I've made the observation that you have two options for how everything plays out on MB:

1) dislike something, which means you hate fun or are pretentious/a hipster/whatever other word Batlord wants to throw at you.

2) you like something, but liking something because it's fun isn't a good enough reason because obviously something can't be bad and fun at the same time according to Frown.

Yeah so the year that Fellowship of the ring came out. They had rough competition where they wouldn't have won.

A Beautiful Mind
Gosford Park
In the Bedroom
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Moulin Rouge!

Moulin Rouge and A Beautiful Mind were superior films that year. A Beautiful Mind won.

I feel like they gave them the award because it was like owed to them. Fellowship might have been the better movie but wouldn't win against that competition. I'm not sure if Two Towers was nominated for Best Picture but it lost as well. So they gave it to him for Return of the King.
