It works this way. Pick your favorite five movies of this year, 1 gets 5 points, 5 gets one point, the movie with the most points the day before the Oscars wins. Here is my vote for example.
Honorable mention(no points)
Team America
Spiderman 2
The Incredibles
Kill Bill Vol. 2
Shaun of the Dead
Collateral
Lemony
And just to give people a general list to choose from, these are some of the top grossing films of this year. This of course is completly seperate from any official stuff the site is doing. Just for fun, no rewards, at best a hummer from an elderly nut in a retirement home.
Sorry this is a copy and paste job, if you bother to pay attention it makes snese.

Great list, I agree with all of them. I haven't seen Million dollar though. After Mystic River and Unforgiven, which I really enjoy, but think they were given way to much credit, I have this anti Clint movie thing going. I will see it though. And maybe I will switch my shit up after I see it.

eh.
Yeah the Life Aquatic is the only movie I missed this year that I really wanted to see. Well, not entirely true. I also wanted to see the Machinist, and Million Dollar Baby. Was Aquatic good though? All my buds who love Anderson films said it fell way short of Royal, Rush, and Bottle.

Personally, I think Million Dollar Baby is better than both Unforgiven & Mystic River, and I think both of those are very good. I connected w/ it more than those other films, and it stayed w/ me emotionally for several days after seeing it.

It did fall short, but I didn't see a lot of movies that were any good this year, that I can remember anyway.
The Machinist wasn't very good. Interesting to see a skeleton on screen, but it gets just plain disgusting looking after a few minutes.
Four really is about a tie between life aquatic and garden state. both were good but not great. well, actually the final four on my list I would say that about. I'm having a hard time remembering what other films I saw in 04.

This year was terrible
Out of the ones I've seen, I vote Kill Bill, Eternal Sunshine, and Collateral
