The Fisti Awards of the Aughts: 2000's BEST PICTURE!!!

[Thomas]

Isn't a bakers dozen 13?

I was waiting for someone to say this.

I am positively surprised that it was you.

I know more than you think!

And Best in Show, clearly. A masterpiece of comedy.

Funny voiceover.

But Songs from the Second Floor has everything else.

[dlong5665]

Well, I only saw it once, and that was about a decade ago, so perhaps I should see it again and re-evaluate.
Out of curiosity, why do you think it's a bad film?

EDIT: It doesn't matter anyway, as I just found out that Fantasia 2000 is a 1999 film.

It's not that it's bad as much as it is annoying. The celebrity cameos in between each segment are horrific (Bette Midler especially) and some of the segments themselves are ok at best. I mean the original is one of the most beautiful movies ever and it gets a sequel and we got this:

Yi Yi!

Songs from the Second Floor
Eureka
Werckmeister Harmonies
Come Undone
The Captive
Word and Utopia
Virgin Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors
Code Unknown
L'argent, l'amour, l'argent
O Fantasma
Devils on the Doorstep

Great year, as every year tends to be once you look.

JeanRZEJ wins (especially the Tarr, Aoyama, de Oliveira and Hong mentions)*!

Also, may I pimp out As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty and In Vanda's Room.

*I have not seen the Philip Gröning film yet though.

I, too, am shocked.

My favorite movie of the year was Traffic at the time, but I was 20 and haven't seen it since. I have no idea what it would be now.

Sabine Timoteo! Some wonderful montage work, as well. Ragged, but wonderful.

Thank you...and I have explained my momentary stupidity numorous times.



ANYWAYS...I'm shocked that there is actually a three way tie going on here! I really thought that Best in Show would clobber the other nominees. I'm also really happy that my top three are the three who are tied for first

[crazyfists3600]

LOL...the three way tie at closing is AMAZING

There is a first for everything, and leave it to the Fisti's to hand out gold to Best in Show, Billy Elliot AND Yi Yi!!!
