I haven't gotten to start the one line review quick guide to my viewing '04, hopefully by the weekend. ]]>

Excellent list. I'm in the process of putting my own together. I know how much sweat and blood went into all those stats, man. This isn't a task to be taken lightly. And happy new year and such to you all. ]]>

That's a great roundup! I missed a lot of these movies, but I'll be using this list to help me decide what to try and catch while it's still playing. ]]>

I think you could do a separate post listing all 100+ movies with a one-line review and your rating. That would be a great way for people to get a quick read on your take from the entire year in film. Personally, I'd like to see your 5 stars, 4.5s, 4s, etc. separated out, then alphabetized. But that's just the opinion of one (just graduated) academic librarian... Eric Berlin Dumpster Bust: Miracles from Mind Trash http://dumpsterbust.blogspot.com ]]>

Eric, I'll do that. When I am home at my own PC. If you visit my blog, there is a link on the left side which will show you the complete list of films I have seen. I originally thought about ranking and posting the entire list, but there are so many films in the middle that could go in a variety of directions. Maybe I will post the list with a one line review each? ]]>

I'm impressed with your incredibly detailed breakdown of the year in film. This list reminds me, above all others, how many fine films I manage to miss annually. I agree that you should include your star ratings for each film. For instance, I'd like to see where the Surprises and Guilty Pleasures match up against the Best (and Worst).

Thanks! The 5 star film was The Passion. As for Sideways, I haven't checked out too many other lists yet, but when I walked out of the theater, I loved how the film seemed to be filled with real world characters in a situation that was more or less realistic, it just struck a chord. ]]>

Excellent, well-detailed list. Which was the 5-star rated film in your list? Also, seeing Sideways appear across the board reminds me of A O Scott's gripes about the film in this Sunday's NY Times - he perceives the film as being a critic's favorite because the lead character has the temperament of a critic. He is not a big fan of the film. ]]>
