I would probably agree that Gladiator was the best movie I've seen this season. It was a well done flick. And it is fresh when you watch it more than once...

I did enjoy Perfect Storm and still rate it highly but, like most books turn movies, it was just not as good as the book, which is one of my favorites. I was less than thrilled with some of the artistic license used in that movie but I'm always anal like that :P

Other mentions:
Scary Movie - the absolute raunchiest film I've ever seen and while I'm usually not one for the perverted humor - it was a pretty funny spoof on alot of things... My wife was very pregnant when we saw that (probably wouldn't have if we knew it was that raunchy but...) and I thought she would have the baby she was laughing so hard (when she wasn't grossed out)

Drowning Mona - humerous in the "Get Shorty" sorta way. The movies speaks almost fondly about how Verplank, NY was the test run site for Yugo cars back in the eighties and how everyone in that town got them free but the movie did not mention that Verplank is where the Hudson River Hatchery where many striper studies are done...

Videos - Pushing Tin - I think the movie was out the year before (or two) but I watched it this year, so for me it was new. Good flick...
The Matrix - 'nuff said
Sixth Sense - good flick

My favorite movies ever?
Who did it - Usual Suspects
Comedy - Tie: Better off dead - classic & Something about Mary - nearly peed my pants
Historical - Tuskegee Airmen - HBO flick but excellent
SCI-FI ?? Still waiting to see the best sci-fi movie. There are alot I've liked but still have yet to have been blown away (Star Wars doesn't count as I was only 8 )
Scarry, edge of your seat - Aliens (when it came out)

~Fix the Bait~ ~Pogies Forever~

Striped Bass Fishing - All Stripers


Kobayashi Maru Election - there is no way to win.
