MoFo 2000 Film Chart

Both Remember the Titans and Pay It Forward were on my list.

I didn't know anything about Remember the Titans before watching it, but it turned out to be a very good movie.

I like Pay It Forward, but I would have preferred a different ending.

Seen it early on and found it a little "meh". It bothered me with its juvenile view of racism, even for Disney. Not Denzel's best and Hayden Pantierre was annoying as hell. Tried watching it a few times since and still feel the same way. Just must be me, a solid 5/10.

#32. (31.2.) ฟ้าทะลายโจร [Tears of the Black Tiger] - 15 pts. (included in 2 lists)

George Washington was #4 on my ballot. It's a moving, mysterious, and meandering portrait or early adolescence whose style is reminiscent of Malick. It also gives the sense that it requires several viewings to fully absorb it, making it all the more rewatchable.

#31. (31.1.) Les glaneurs et la glaneuse [The Gleaners and I] - 15 pts. (included in 3 lists)

MoFo Top 40 of 2000 so far.

The Gleaners and I was #5 on my ballot. I've only seen a couple of Varda's documentaries, but I like how, even when they shift focus away from the main subject (showing a dramatic scene of her camera lens dangling off her camera or pretending to crush trucks on the highway), they still feel like necessary components to her films and provide some insight into her personality. I can't imagine her docs without those playful scenes. I'll have to watch Varda by Agnes someday.

#30. Brother - 16 pts. (included in 3 lists)

Director: Takeshi Kitano
Starring: Takeshi Kitano, Omar Epps, Claude Maki, Susumu Terajima

I've still only seen The Yards and possibly Chocolat. I don't think I've even heard of some of these.

Enjoyed the time bending twistiness of “Frequency”.

I don't think anything from my list has placed yet.

mrblond, can we get a full list in your original post? Updated with each new movie you post? That would be nice. Thanks.

I'm still waiting for something else I've at least seen to show up.

You got it.
