Don't laugh. I know, I see about one film a year. For my one movie of 2003, I will see "The Return of the King" sometime in Jan. 2004 when my brother gets back from vacation. My lack of movie viewing is my great pop cultural shame.
For this reason, I refer to Lauren's film reviews, found on this blog and on the Barflies.net magazine, and to Salon.com's reviews. Today, Salon.com recommends:
The 10 best movies of 2003From the eccentric, intimate "Lost in Translation" to the epic nobility of "Return of the King" to the rough-hewn affirmation of "In America," Salon critics Stephanie Zacharek, Charles Taylor and Andrew O'Hehir list 2003's best films.
"Lost in Translation"
"In America"
"A Mighty Wind"
"Spellbound"
"American Splendor"
"Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King"
"Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World"
"To Be and to Have"
"School of Rock"
"Masked and Anonymous"
Do you agree or disagree with their list? What about "Migrations?"

You forgot Gigli (Itallian for Ishtar) and From Justin to Kelly (What gets passed between them I'm not sure but I heard it has something to do with Clay Akin's sexual orientation).
