Here's the nominees for Best picture of '03,even if you haven't seen these films (and I haven't),which do you think at least sounds like the best choice?

Lord of The Rings:The Return Of The King

Lost in Translation

Master & Commander:The Far Side of the World

Mystic River or

Seabiscuit?

In my opinion,the second 2 are the underdog choices. Seabiscuit has a very good chance,where Mystic River (despite it's success) has no chance. My overall choice is the 3rd installment of LOT Rings:TROTKing.

I have seen the 1st two installments and I really felt they were Best Picture status. I'm sure Chicago was entertaining but Lord Of The Rings:Two Towers really should have won.
While I'm happy for Ron Howard and "A Beautiful Mind",the 1st Lord Of The Rings totally mezmerized me. (Which for a fantasy film is a tough sell at my age.)

So,once again,"Lord Of The Rings:Return Of The King:Best Picture 2003. Been me,later! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

Translation: didn't see; hear it's overrated.

Mystic: didn't see; lead actors have proved themselves politically contemptible.

Master: didn't see; could be good.

Seabiscuit: didn't see; probably good.

Rings: did see; remarkable special effects.

So the award for Best Picture goes to...

SPELLBOUND! A documentary that isn't even nominated for Best Documentary! It's about contestants in the National Spelling Bee. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face, which says a lot, and which is why it gets my vote!
