Best Best Motion Picture Drama of the Decade (Golden Globes)

[Omar]

This poll is based off of the 10 movies given the Golden Globe for the best motion picture drama of the previous decade. Which of those winners is the best?

 

Tough choice, I know.

[Sammy Sofa]

Wow, what a mostly craptacular list.

Return of the King

[Sammy Sofa]

I'm going to assume that someone else has taste and will eventually vote for Brokeback.

[Derwood]

Best best?

Good movie, but it's not better than ROTK, sorry.

[Sammy Sofa]

Incorrect. Please resubmit.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Having only seen half, I got down to Slumdog, ROTK, and A Beautiful Mind. ROTK I don't think is great enough on it's own, but I'm really not sure which to choose between the other two. I guess A Beautiful Mind.

[SouthSideRyan]

I went with Slumdog over the Aviator. This was a really crappy list of best pictures.

[Sammy Sofa]

I would have liked A Beautiful Mind a lot more if it hadn't just been yet another "cutesy" take by Hollywood towards mental illness. Yes, I still say "cutesy" despite the film's relatively dark tone because of it's overly simplistic way of turning Nash's illness into actual characters that serve no purpose but you hit us with a cheap twist. Plus it's appropriate since, of course, one of the "voices" is an unbearably cute little girl. Crowe's a damn good actor, and the movie as a whole has an excellent cast, and it seems they could have all easily handled a movie that skillfully examined the life of a brilliant man with a serious mental illness without making it so ridiculous and simply and melodramatic. It also drastically cleans up Nash's life so the movie can be structured as simplistically (and unrealistically) as possible.

 

It's not a bad movie, but it could have been a LOT better. It's a really average, typically mundane Hollywood drama saved only by the talent of the cast.

I'm basing it off of the golden globe winners for best drama. Don't kill the messenger.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I've only seen 3 of these in their entirety and about half of a 4th.

[TruffleShuffle]

nobody has voted for babel, atonement or the hours because nobody actually saw those movies.
