Top 10 Flicks
Unfortunately, 2004 was not a year for stellar movies in my not-so-humble opinion. Last year, every movie in my top 10 was a truly great movie. The top 5 included Finding Nemo, In American and House of Sand and Fog. These were amazing movies that stayed with me months after I viewed them. At the end of 2004 I find myself with several very strong movies, but many more good-but-definitely-not-fantastic movies.
- Million Dollar Baby- This is a character driven drama at its best.
- Closer- Another movie that hinges on real, fully-developed characters.
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind- Fascinating to watch.
- The Incrediables- A completely fun and creative ride.
- Garden State- Like Eternal, it has a fantastic script.
- Hotel Rwanda- Disturbing and heroic.
- Troy- Despite the critics, this is actually a good movie!
- Finding Neverland- Full of laughs and tears.
- Bad Education- The plot is a maze...a fun one to navigate.
- Saved!- Good, but not top 10 material...i just had a spot to fill here!

Aviator is a really good movie...I respect and admire the film. Perhaps it does deserve to oust Saved! from the number 10 spot. However, I just don't find myself with a lot of affection for the life of Howard Huges.
