HCH Academy Awards - Best Picture 2001?

[Swaye]

Black Hawk Down made me reconsider my life choices. I had serious "never served in the military" guilt after watching that one. Extremely powerful shit. Obviously aided by the fact it was inspired by real events or however they say it now.

But LOTR was an incomparable achievement and is as captivating a story as any ever written.

This sums up my feeling as well. In most years, Blackhawk Down wins going away as one of a small handful of truly remarkable war films, but LOTR is so next level from a storytelling, acting and visual perspective that it almost has no peer - nerd flick or not.

@Gladstone I got you fam

Words to live by, now and forever, 2:00 timestamp specifically:

I've always said Ian McKellen as Gandalf is the strongest argument for theism I've ever seen. Unimaginably perfect.

Stronger than the existence of the banana!?

Just realized Super Troopers didn't even get a mention in this thread.

This goes out to all of us.

Amelie was a great fucking movie

I went to Paris shortly after that movie came out, and had a great time going to some of the shooting locations.

Not everything has to actually be good to be good, if you know what I'm saying. I have thoroughly enjoyed the run that the Fast and Furious franchise has had.

Funny / pathetic story time. I was at an Everett Silvertips game when I heard the news of Paul Walker dying. Didn't know anything about him outside of the Fast and Furious movies and that he was a real car guy, and I don't really follow celebrities, but his death was actually a sad moment for me. Him and Kobe were the two where I said "damn." No tears because I'm not a fag (NTTAWWT), but still.
