Just felt like making some kind of list. Not as complete as the full-blown "awards" galas I used to compile fruitlessly, but that's what happens when I do this after work and late at night when I'm not in a good mood
BEST OF 2004
1) The Incredibles
2) The Aviator
3) Before Sunset
4) Sideways
5) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
6) Spider-Man 2

8) Garden State
9) Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
10) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Runners-up: In Good Company, I Heart Huckabees, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Baadasssss!, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Shaun of the Dead
Haven't Seen Yet: Million Dollar Baby, Kinsey, Finding Neverland (eh)
WORST OF 2004 (since there were so many crazily awful movies this past year, I decided to base this list instead on ones for which I hold the most spite. "New York Minute", for example, is just too easy a target)
