So far . . . Sixth Sense.
Damn that was good. I need to see it again.

The one that comes to my mind first is also The Sixth Sense.
I hate to be a copy-cat, but I have to go with The Sixth Sense too. I saw it twice already, and cried harder at the ending the second time. I love that movie.

Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace
I’m a die-hard Star wars fan, so it’s no surprise. Anyone who says Blair Witch gets THWACK!ed by the Hand of Evil ™.

Usually, the “best films of the year” are released in the fall/winter, but so far:
Eyes Wide Shut
Election
Star Wars Episode One - The Phantom Menace
Bowfinger
Blair Witch Project
I’m still waiting for: Fight Club, American Beauty, Green Mile, and about four or five others I’ll remember after I click Submit Reply.
Slim pickins this summer.

The Blair Witch Project
Sixth Sense
Bowfinger – hilarious, but a lot darker than the critics made out.
Sixth Sense
But on a more personal note
Mystery Men- It had all my favortie actors and William H Macy IS the Shoveler. I want Mr Furious flame jacket and his motorcycle
Sixth Sense, by far, for me.

Star Wars Episode 1
–hey its Star Wars, it would have been tough for him to make something that I didn’t like.
The Sixth Sense
Awesome. Awesome. The kid was excellent, the story was twisty and fun, and the camera work was cool.
Red Violin
Intelligent, fun, engaging story. Follows a violin through its lifetime.
Election
Reese Witherspoon kicks major ass. As does Matthew Broderick in this one.
Iron Giant
Fun.
Ok movies I look forward to as being good this year.
The Messenger:Joan Of Arc
Man on the Moon
Green Mile
Breakfast of Champions
Felicia’s Journey
Mumford
thats about it.

I get the feeling I’m going to get a lot of flak for this but I liked The Mummy better then Phantom Menace. Yeah, I know campy and not a serious movie and all but for some reason thought it was hilarious and action packed, what the Indiana Jones movies used to be like.
Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phanton Menace hands down.
Hmmm … now that I think about it. I haven’t seen any other movies this year in the theatre, except Blair Witch which was good but not great. But even if I had I would still pick Star Wars.
It’s bernard, just under new management
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
Yah, go ahead. Give me crap, but I don’t like “serious” movies. I did love “Shakespeare in Love” though.
“Oooh, you are hairy like an-ni-mal”. Best line in the world plus I can do a good Russian accent for it.
I haven’t seen Sixth Sense (maybe I will now based on the high reviews seen here…), but I’ve gotta say The Thomas Crown Affair was the best I’ve seen this year, by far. Just a darn good movie.

I havnt seen sixth sense, or blair witch, or star wars ( I dont get out much-$$ for sitters y’know), but I thoroughly enjoyed ED TV.
I just saw Stir of echos. All I have to say is…Damn. Wow and I thought 6th sence was good. This is one that you can not miss!
Bad spellers of the world… UNTIE
I have been very disappointed with movies in the last few years. But I have to say that I thought Sixth Sense was great. It is the best movie I can remember seeing lately.
Pricciar,
I also just saw the Red Violin this week and I thought it was very good. I don’t think it will do well for mainstream viewers (don’t mean to sound snobby), but I really enjoyed. I thought it was very creative to include the tarot card interpretation throughout the violins journey and to replay the scene in the auction house.
StStella:
Yeah, I thought using the tarot scene as a frame for the story was an excellent idea. I also enjoyed how they would introduce new characters each time they returned to the auction scene.

It’s a tie…Sixth Sense and South Park.
