Don't worry, I remain one of the few on the board who unabashedly loves (or at least really likes) Gangs of New York. It wouldn't get near my list. The Hours may top it, though.flipp525 wrote:I remain one of the few on the board who unabashedly loves The Hours.

Oooo..fun. I'm looking forward to reading that, Eric. (Is Abigail Breslin going to make your Best Supporting Actress list?)
I don't see how any list like this could exist without Gangs of New York somewhere near the top of it. Easily one of the worst nominated movies of the decade. Big Magilla is spot-on there (it's a vile, interminable piece of trash). Any of the LOTR films would easily make my list. That we were infected with them for three years is almost criminal.
I remain one of the few on the board who unabashedly loves The Hours.

I had posted mine, but decided that since I haven't seen some of the worst offenders, I would refrain. After all, I'm sure some of them are worse than No Country for Old Men and The Pianist.

I thought this deserved a thread of its own so I re-posted Sabin's selections from another post.
My picks:
1. Gangs of New York - vile, contemptible, historically inaccurate fist in your face crap saved only by the amazing set design and Daniel Day-Lewis' broad performance.
2. A Beautiful Mind - dumbed down portrait of schizophrenia.
3. Moulin Rouge! - ludicrous, anachronistic and completely asinine nonsense with one of the worst interpretations of a real-life character ever by John Leguizamo as Toulouse-Laurec.
4. Babel - its point, the lack of communication even by people who speak the same language, is hammered home over and over to the point of tedium.
5. Crash - well-done to a point, but only to a point.
6. Lost in Translation - charming once, but does not hold up to repeat viewings.
7. Chocolat - lots of talent involved here, but aside from Judi Dench, Lena Olin and the gorgeous cinematography, all fall below expectations.
8. Gladiator - 50s-early 60s sandal epics redux and about as good - no more, no less despite the advances in technology.
9. Seabiscuit - great tale, poorly told.
10. Finding Neverland - lovely when Kate Winslet and Julie Christie are on screen, disappointing otherwise.

Sabin's list in the Last Seen Movie thread:
WORST NOMINATED PICTURES OF THE DECADE
1. The Hours ('02)
2. Finding Neverland ('04)
3. Crash ('05) - OSCAR!
4. The Reader ('08)
5. A Beautiful Mind ('01) - OSCAR!
6. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button ('08)
7. Babel ('08)
8. Chocolat ('00)
9. Seabiscuit ('03)
10. Nothing outwardly bad just problematic. A toss-up between the made-for-TV movie Ray ('04), the poorly structured Little Miss Sunshine ('06) and Slumdog Millionaire ('08), The Third Act of Moulin Rouge! ('01), and maybe Mystic River ('03) which I just saw again and does not hold up. Still can't put the hammer down on Gangs of New York or The Aviator despite their problems. Everything below Babel isn't really bad, just problematic or utterly bland.
