What is your favorite movie released in the last 5 years?
 

Mine is 'Gangster Number One'

I'm hoping I can get some good suggestions from this thread cuz I feel like I have rented everything now :(

The Matrix hands down.

:thumbsup

Definately Matrix :thumbsup

The first matrix ruled, especially since I went to see it without ANY knowledge what it was. :)

dawn of the dead

i love zombies

City Of God - or - Life Is Beautiful...


I'm usually not a fan of subtitles but these two are insanely great for two opposite reasons.

The first is one of the most realistically violent movies of the decade, with a great story to boot.

The second is an all around suspenseful, comedy based around the Holocaust that was a bit touching as well.

American Splendor

Matrix:glugglug

Same here... I had seen the commercials but didn't think much of it. I ended up at movie theatre with friends and saw it like 3 months after it came out. Incredible.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is pretty fucking awesome too.

Lost in Translation :thumbsup

ROTK

lots of love for the matrix...

I really like American Beauty the first time I saw it... same with Gladiator... but Gangster Number One just stands out for me :ak47:

I could tell you more but it would just be one man's opinion. Here's the opinions if the biggest critics in the movie biz...

"Scorching and powerful! 'City of God' shares the same attitude and fondness for tall-sounding tales as 'GoodFellas.' Filled with frenetic visual rhythms, its mood swings synchronize with the zany, adrenaline-fueled impulsiveness of its lost youth on a rampage. Experience this devastating movie."
-Stephen Holden, NY Times



?****. A Powerhouse! It moves with whiplash velocity. Sometimes a movie comes along and just floors you, its images burn so deeply. ?City of God? has the scent of a classic.?
-Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

?****! Fierce, shocking, dazzling and wonderful. It?s that rare film that manages to be seductively entertaining without ever compromising its authenticity and power. Thoroughly engaging, with wicked humor and style, director Fernando Meirelles is the one to watch.?
-Megan Turner, NY Post

?****! City of God churns with furious energy. Breathtaking! It announces a new director of great gifts and passions: Fernando Meirelles. Remember the name.?
-Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The Pianist - but i am a chopin freak, and a history freak, so maybe im a bit biased.

Matrix!:thumbsup

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. A very spiritual movie. Touch you on every level.

In last 5 years, no doubt that is - O Brother, Where Art Thou?


peace

Dawn of the Dead

A Beautiful Mind

Magnolia - an awesome film, I can't recommend it enough :thumbsup

1) The matrix (trilogy)
2) Equilibrium

Matrix fav movie ever

Braveheart

Lord of The Rings Trilogy

One of the top two Troma films of all times!

My favorite is still "Tromeo And Juliet" by a hair though

LOTR

:eek7

Return of the King is one of my favorite movies from the past 5 years. I can't wait to get it on DVD.

Chicago :Graucho

American Beauty.

Haven't seen a few of the titles listed in this thread however, so i can't compare it to those.

Best series, however, is of course LOTR. Can't wait for the 3 volume extended box set :thumbsup

The Matrix is definitely up there, I also really like Kill Bill.

:thumbsup I 100% agree on both!

no clear favourite. bad question. However I had to reply because you're one of the only people I've heard talk about gangster number one.. jeez wasn't it a pleasant surprise as a rental?.. fucking rocks. Wouldn't be in my top 10 but fucking nice.
