Best of 2003
May be a bit late, but I wasn't here yet. I also figure some of you may be interested in what I thought of the 2003 film season. One thing to remember when viewing these lists is that I restricted myself to those '03 films I saw theatrically within the calendar year. I saw a few of the top films in '04 discounting them from my lists. A few of the '04 viewings did slip in as I needed some more nominees. Anyway, here goes:
