I just clicked on them and didn't have a problem opening them. PM me your e-mail and I'll send them your way.

Funny, I just found these pictures. It's not like it's from some site you have to be a member of. I've never been there before in my life. Weird.

one of them I had seen before in a magazine, but the others were all new to me.

OK; now that I've seen RotK, I can update my list and order it somewhat:
Kill Bill Vol. 1
Finding Nemo
Dirty Pretty Things
PotC
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas
Once Upon a Time in Mexico
RotK
Something's Gotta Give-- what a smart and funny movie!
School of Rock-- finally, a film about music in schools that isn't schmaltzy

Now I just need one more movie to make 10....

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Find a theater that's showing Lost in Translation. That should warrant your ten.

Okay, since I've seen a few more movies, I'm revisiting my top ten (and I've reconsidered a few after watching them again)...

1. The Last Samurai - easily Cruise's best work, IMHO
2. Finding Nemo
3. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
4. Lost in Translation
5. Open Range
6. Narc (not in wide release until '03; so to me here in Chicago, this is a 2003 release)
7. X2: X-Men United
8. Something's Gotta Give
9. Gangs of New York (not in wide release until '03; see above)
10. The Italian Job

And, this week or weekend, I'm going to see Big Fish and School of Rock (local second-run theater is playing it). So I may need to revisit yet again.

Yeah, then you can boot those 2002 releases from your list.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Bah. They're 2003 releases for 99.9% of the world. Only NYC and LA got to see them in 2002.

My friend the film snob prefers not to compile his 10 best list until he's seen all the films he wanted to see that were officially released in that year; that's why I suggested kicking them out. You could add them to your 2002 list.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

You didn't like Gangs of New York, motti? Wow. Hey, to each his own. I won't lambast you for it although you lambasted me for liking it.

Really? You don't know anyone who liked Gangs? Wow, I know tons of people who love it. Not just like... love. I thought it was spectacular. One of Scorsese's best (of course his real "best" is Goodfellas).

Sean, waiting to see Big Fish this weekend. Will let you know.

DJJD, don't worry about Narc being in your 2003 top 10. It's in mine b/c it didn't come out in Chicago (or just about anywhere else save LA, NYC, Sundance, and Cannes) until January of 2003. Counts in my book.

Easily one of my all-time fave cop movies. Jason Patric rules.
