Apparently, I never posted this list, and now I've referenced it twice. Oops!
P.S. Amy, I'll write something more detailed about nominations later, but for now, I'll say I'm surprised Angelina Jolie wasn't nominated, I'm surprised that Tommy Lee Jones was, and that Into the Wild was shafted where it should not have been.
I have a two-year-minimum rule before something can be on my 10 Best list. That way, I know it's not just a "fling" but a real love affair. This list, of course, is fluid. In fact, when I first saw the No. 1 movie on it, I wasn't sure I even liked said flick!
1) Dogma
2) Laura
3) Chicago
4) All about My Mother
5) Singin’ in the Rain
6) North by Northwest
7) All about Eve
8) Pride & Prejudice (the Keira Knightley version)
9) Chasing Amy
10) The Taking of Pelham One Two Three
(Ten other flicks that frequently pop up on this list, in no particular order, are Hoop Dreams; The Wings of the Dove; Garden State; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Four Weddings and a Funeral; Good Will Hunting; The English Patient; The Graduate; Midnight Cowboy; and Ordinary People.)

"Dogma" - ??????????
Marilyn, while maybe not my top choice, "Dogma" is an under-rated gem with brillant satire.
oo! oo! I looooove "Singin' in the Rain"!!! Just makes me happy thinking about it.
and i have to echo the "Dogma"???? i'm a huge kevin smith fan, and I did really like the film, but best of all-time? really? more data please...
Well then, I think a "Dogma" essay may be in my future. Let me catch up on reviews first.
