TPSG Top 10 Movies of 2003

Continuing with my look at the best movies of years gone by.

Top 10 Movies of 2003:
  1. Mystic River - Sean Penn, Tim Robbins
  2. Kill Bill, Volume 1 - Uma Thurman, David Carradine
  3. Old School - Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn
  4. 28 Days Later - Cillian Murphy, Naomi Harris
  5. The Lord of the Rings:  The Return of the King - Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen
  6. Lost in Translation - Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson
  7. Monster - Charlize Theron, Christina Ricci
  8. Master and Commander:  The Far Side of the World - Russell Crowe, Paul Bettany
  9. Seabiscuit - Toby Maguire, Jeff Bridges
  10. Elf - Will Ferrell, James Caan
In my opinion, "Mystic River" was easily the best film of 2003, great story, great acting, great directing, it's everything a movie should be. "Kill Bill, Volume 1" is a another fast paced, action packed, incredibly violent and very fun film by Quentin Tarantino.  "Old School" was the funniest movie of the year, there are several laugh out loud moments from Frank the Tank and company.  Director Danny Boyle did a wonderful job of rejuvenating the zombie genre with "28 Days Later".  "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" is just a tremendous piece of filmmaking in nearly every aspect, it has to be on this list.  Bill Murray shows his acting chops in "Lost In Translation", he and Scarlett Johansson have great chemistry in this one.  The transformation of Charlize Theron in "Monster" was astounding, her Oscar win was well deserved.  Russell Crowe gives one of his best performances in "Master and Commander".  "Seabiscuit" is a true underdog story about a racehorse of all things. "Elf" will no doubt go down as a Christmas classic, Will Ferrell is hilarious as the overgrown Elf.
