Van The Man... yeah more farty than arty... but funny movie. Yeah, sometimes you just need a solid dose of that. Anchor Man is excellent at that.

2001: I knew you were coming after me there. Still, one word: too slow. And - isn't it bad sign for a movie that you should read the book in advance to understand/appreciate it? ;)

It's not too slow, you impatient MTV-generationalized... guy... Evolution IS slow  ;)

I think the movie is sufficient in itself, but the book still gives details you weren't picking up in the movie. Character background and such... If the movies was to incorporate everything from the book, it would triple the running time, and imagine how much you would moan then  :whistle:

Oh, and you don't have to read the book in advance - you can just as well read the book afterwards and still add to the experience...  :narnar:

These were some of my considerations for a grade of 10, i.e. my top films. Some really good ones there, but for various reasons they just didn't make it:

(in no particular order, and selected for all kinds of reasons):

Cube (1997)
Donnie Darko (2001)
Forrest Gump (1994)    
Groundhog Day (1993)    
The Truman Show (1998)    
Pulp Fiction (1994)    
Salmer fra kjøkkenet (2003)    
The Matrix (1999)    
Memento (2000)    
12 Angry Men (1957)
Amadeus (1984)    
American Beauty (1999)
Alien (1979)
The Big Lebowski (1998)
Blinkende lygter (2000) (well acted, slightly surreal danish flick)
Boot, Das (1981)    
Chinese Box (1997)    
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
Dead Man (1995)
Die Hard (1988)    
Edward Scissorhands (1990)    
The Emperor's New Groove (2000) (being a sucker for comics it is incredibly funny!)
Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, Le (2001)    
FlÃ¥klypa Grand Prix (1975)    
Metropolis (1927)    
Misery (1990)    
Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (1922)
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)    
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)    
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)    
Raising Arizona (1987)    
Road to Perdition (2002)    
Shichinin no samurai (1954)    
The Shining (1980)    
Solyaris (1972)

I would rather watch a Bollywood flick then ;)

I'm not sure you can call a Bollywood movie a flick... The very first I saw ran for 4 hours... and it didn't have the quality of 2001 to make me interested ;)

That said, the indians (not the native american ones) really have a knack of putting up some amazing cinematography. Some of the pictures are just stunning... Like the landscapes of Ladakh, Indian Himalaya, as shown in Dilse, are really some of the most beautiful scenes I have ever seen...

Which reminds of The Cell... I really liked that movie. Especially cinematographically (wow, what a word - does it even exist?!?)
