The Movies That Were: 2003

Sticking with the best of/worst of in movies this year, I wanted to list what I thought my most and least favorite movies from this past year were. The only problem was trying to remember everything I had seen this year, so I consulted a list of most (if not all) of the movies that came out this year. I pasted the list into an Excel document and then eliminated all the movies that I hadn't seen (there were a few I couldn't tell from just the title if I'd seen them or not, so I looked them up in most cases; but if there was one or two that I truly couldn't remember then they probably weren't worth me listing anyway). I found that apparently I had seen about 40 movies that were released last year, and I figured I'd just give each film a numerical value based on how much I liked the movie and also how much I wanted to see the movie again. My scale pretty much works like this:

10 - Arguably my favorite movie of the year
9 - I really really liked it and am anxious to see it again
8 - I thought this was a great movie, although I'm not dying to see it again right away
7 - I thought this was very enjoyable, even though I wouldn't say it was a great movie. Most likely it was either a very solid film or a guilty pleasure
6 - I thought this was better than average, but nothing really stood out too much
5 - I wasn't really sure if I liked it or not
4 - Mediocre at best, but not so bad it infuriated me
3 - Really dull, bordering on annoying me
2 - I hated this movie. Offensively bad
1 - Beyond bad to the point where it is so bad it's fun

Keep in mind this is simply how I felt about them, and am not trying to say this is how everyone would or should feel about these movies. Honestly I'd be surprised if most people agreed with a lot of my choices. Ok, without further ado, here were the 40 movies I saw last year and what I thought of them:
